Other than the obvious, what do you think this song is really about? Here are the lyrics (the song is mmm mmm mmm mmm by the Crash Test Dummies):
Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The car had smashed so hard
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
But both girl and boy were glad
'Cause one kid had it worse than that
'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
What do you think these lyrics mean?
it's about child abuse...birth marks are actually bruises, the boy is traumatized from abuse, not a car crash. the final verse is talking about how it's not always who you'd expect to abuse their kids, and those you don't notice are usually worse.
What do you think these lyrics mean?
i think its about no matter how bad things seem then can always get worse
