Lyrics
Mother's smoking pot
Mother is using marijuana
In the bathroom
She's doing this in the bathroom
I can hear her butt
The sound of her sitting on the tub is audible
Squeaking on the tub
Describes the squeaking sound as she moves
As the water grows cold
The water is getting cold
Around her legs
Describes it surrounding her legs
And father
Father is in the study
Is in the study
He's watching an unclear lesbian scene
Watching a vague
The scene is vague or not well defined
Lesbian scene
Warning not to enter the study
Don't go in
Speaker is told not to go in
He gets to me
Father's actions affect the speaker emotionally
Planting foot prints
Father leaves identifiable marks or traces
Where I hope
Implies the father is making a negative impact
I'll never be
Expresses a desire to avoid a similar fate
Da da da da da
Repetition or filler words
And sister phones to say
Sister communicates she won't be returning
She isn't coming home
Reason for her absence, she isn't coming home
She says she'll write to me
She promises to write to the speaker
But I know
The speaker doubts the sister will keep her promise
She won't write to me
Expresses skepticism about receiving letters
Da da da da da
Repetition or filler words
