If I could talk to all the children in the clouds, The ones who couldn't help but take it lying down, I'd say, despite your fate, you made your papa proud. There's just some things a guy like that can't say out loud. Oh, your mama, well she just didn't know how. A thousand years of being told to shut her mouth And kept down, down, Down, down Kept down, down, Down, down. If I could steal away the outcast of the class I'd break him out of there and take him to the tracks We'd bet all of it on the horse with a broke back We'd watch it win while all the stallions came in last. Oh, boy, you see Your odds ain't all that bad. Slim to none, but not so slim you've got to slip between the cracks. So come back, come back. Pretty girl. Wicked one. Caught your curse. Cut out your tongue. Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh One by one we let 'em burn off with the sun Can only hope they're somewhere finally having some fun, Being young.
"can only hope they're somewhere *finally* having some fun.... being young" God, this whole song makes me cry, but this line especially. These kids can never grow up... that chance was taken from them. Despite that horrid truth, we can hope that.... maybe they're out there finally having fun, and no longer suffering. All you can do is hope that's true. fuuuuck.
This song made me really cry. The first lines really hitting me because my little Brother just died because of brain cancer and he was just 10. It is true we are all proud of him that he fight for so long even he was in so much pain. I hope he is somewhere save without pain and problems
This song is so sad and sometimes makes me cry, because it really is horrible that we live in a society in which so many children have their childhood and innocence taken from them all too early. I was one of those and, god, I wish no one else had to go through such pain as a kid. But that's not how the world works. If you're struggling, remember that we all are, at least a little. And taking the easy way out is no way to go about it. Even if you don't see it, someone loves you. There will be a happier moment in the future. Thank you Mother Mother, for making such beautiful and heartfelt music, and thank you everyone else, for simply existing. You are amazing and, I have no doubt, make at least someone's life a little brighter
I love how ethereal they sound singing in unison. I can hear each of their tones but together they rise up as one voice with a chokehold on the heavens
This song is really soothing to me? It's just a song helps me calm down for some reason and I find that amazing because only several songs do that for me so props to this song
Does minute 2:56 remind anyone else of Mitski and Studio Ghibli or am I crazy? I feel like they have very similar styles (only that specific part I mean)
If I could talk to all the children in the clouds,
The ones who couldn't help but take it lying down,
I'd say, despite your fate, you made your papa proud.
There's just some things a guy like that can't say out loud.
Oh, your mama, well she just didn't know how.
A thousand years of being told to shut her mouth
And kept down, down,
Down, down
Kept down, down,
Down, down.
If I could steal away the outcast of the class
I'd break him out of there and take him to the tracks
We'd bet all of it on the horse with a broke back
We'd watch it win while all the stallions came in last.
Oh, boy, you see
Your odds ain't all that bad.
Slim to none, but not so slim you've got to slip between the cracks.
So come back, come back.
Pretty girl. Wicked one. Caught your curse. Cut out your tongue.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
One by one we let 'em burn off with the sun
Can only hope they're somewhere finally having some fun,
Being young.
Thank you
Thanks! Just a heads up, in the bridge, it's "cut your curls", rather than "caught your curse".
"can only hope they're somewhere *finally* having some fun.... being young"

im so sorry 😔♥️
I'm sorry dude
This song is really sad when you find out its meaning.
what do you think the meaning is? :O
Pretty sure it's about suicide.
praline ah..
Particularly by bullied children. To me it's almost certainly their saddest song.
It was dedicated to Amanda Todd
This left me feeling so unsettled but it was beautiful

I found myself singing this out loud in class and my friend asking me if I knew i was doing it shshjsfjjf
this is such a raw and disgusting song, but the meaning is sickeningly powerful.
is this about boy and girl that are both outcasts committing suicide together?]
PLEASE EXPLAIN!!
I believe it was inspired by the suicide of Amanda Todd.
Me hp it’s about a girl named Amanda Todd
My dumbass was thinking it was about child abduction and murder. It's still really sad tho 😢😢
I kept thinking that one part was "Pretty girl. Wicked world. Cut your curves. Cut out you tongue." AnD I mEaN idk hElp
i like the acoustic better but this is really nice
Does minute 2:56 remind anyone else of Mitski and Studio Ghibli or am I crazy? I feel like they have very similar styles (only that specific part I mean)
