I was going down From Jerusalem to Jericho, Towards that cursed town, Exchanging peace for pain and sorrow. Then the robbers came Stripped me and beat me, left me half dead. Stuck here, bruised and lame Will this wretched road be my deathbed?
Can somebody help me? Does anyone care? I have an urgent need! But sadly it seems that no one is aware. Wait, a priest I see! Descending like me. He passes by me, Then comes a Levite and does the same. I thought they would help me! They seemed to serve God and to honor His name. Religion is empty! It cannot heal me. All my wounds still remain. A Samaritan Comes upon me and observes my plight. Moved with compassion He treats my wounds, binding them just right.
Lord Jesus You found me! You poured oil and wine on my wounds, them to heal! Jess4d on April 03, Link. General Comment These lines seem to be under question SunDevil Yes. Whereas when I was young AND we didn't give a damn. You see , it's a fragment. It would make if the AND were replaced with a comma. Whereas when I was young, we didn't give a damn.
But the AND is there. General Comment This song Just reminds me so much about my home life, how both my parents were extremely neglectful as I was growing up, and they never noticed me, and now I have grown into a "Stable Adult" Without any help from them. I used to go into my room, and blast this and sit there and cry I was pathetic, but I have loved this band since I was 7 years old.
ANd now I'm 19! Time flies eh? I think we had the same parents, but I don't remember you We should have hung out, cried together, then gone to get ice cream!!! We're both listening on the same song with the same age but different time tin on April 15, General Comment I'm pretty sure that part of the issue is incorrect lyrics. She's Irish so her pronunciation is going to be a bit different. I always heard the beginning of the chorus as "and happiness" but it comes out sounding like "an happiness" which sounds like "unhappiness" which would make no sense in that context.
And to brightestfirefly and others: how did you get molestation from "he liked me? She just said that they were raised to see life as fun etc. I think that that line is beautiful in its simplicity, that her father liked her as a person, which speaks to a really healthy father-daughter relationship as a child.
The "does anyone care" part seems to speak to the constant focus on negativity in today's world and her wondering if her happy childhood holds any meaning to others outside her family. Also prostitution from "do you like me standing there" really? An ode is a lyric poem often of a serious or meditative nature marked by strong feelings.
She is both celebrating her happy childhood in Ireland and seeking acceptance for the person that she is today. The present tense "do you like me" contrasts with past tense "he liked me" as she asks her family to understand the person she is today. Ireland when she grew up was quite religious and conservative and people lived very simple lives. She entered a totally different world when she joined a band professionally which caused tension with her family but she's saying she hasn't forgotten where she comes from, it is still a part of her, she values the love and strong foundation her parents gave her, and yearns to go back to those days.
Translation It isn't what she WAS saying so much as what she couldn't bring herself to say. At least while her parents are still alive to hear her sing. In the video I saw it from the start.
Her mother comforted her as loud noises and people probably scared her, and the mother protected her as best she could by "holding" her. How anyone couldn't see the odd choice of words afterward is likely because no one 'wants' to think that. Her father "liked" her?? Cherished, or doted on, would describe a loving father.
Then as she probably faces the same "out there" but she "liked" it with cute boys, drinking, and "we didn't give a damn" because life was so tenuous they lived for the moment and to hell with the consequenses but it beat having to deal with being the corner of a sick "love" triangle. Not like the clergy would be able and willing to help. Impoverished, very pretty, and growing up in a culture which has endured centuries of harmful superstitions, political upheaval, extreme violence and practically inbred hatred between two equally oppressive religions.
Most likely raped by soldiers as is common she may have decided to at least use her "assets" to make life more bearable. Did anyone care? The million dollar question. Was there anyone who truly cared for her and about what was happening in her life? Who was there for her to talk to, or seek comfort from when her own mom couldn't find her at all? Ashamed, scared, and possibly pregnant at some point.. I'm simply astounded by these incredibly naive, overly optimistic interpretations. What I described is most common just about everywhere in modern society these days.
All thanks to the digital media constantly enticing men, and boys in puberty, to lust after and fantasize about half naked women. Thus making them unfaithful over and over till the point shame fades and true debauchery sets in. Women do not become easily aroused by seeing half naked males so no it's not the same for each gender and females suffer for this greatly!
One can tell from her poignant words, and deep emotion in her tone that she wants to know how her family felt about her, and what they thought about it all if they knew..
Also why did they let it happen in the first place!! Ondinechan on November 21, Link. Ondinechan I completely agree, why would someone write such a sad song for a fairytale childhood? Clover on September 02, Plus, the words 'does anyone care' is a cry for help.
No wonder there are so many troubled and abused people around if words like this cannot - or will not - be heard. General Comment I've heard a lot about her parents not liking her. These aren't usual terminology used for neglectful parents.
They are there for her at least in that manner. There is something off. Meaning the past tense of liked me. And the did she hold me when I was out there I think this song is in large part about the difficulty of pursuing a music career against what her parents wanted from her and how it was hard for her and her family.
I think I have a bit of a better understanding of the song now. The song is really aimed at them not us. She's referring to how it is a prominent part of her life and hints that it's the reason for the rift and how both sides are aware of that.
D'you see? D'you like me? D'you like me standing there? D'you notice me? D'you know? D'you see me? If they still care enough to support her even if they don't express it directly.
She still thinks about them and she wants to believe that they care about her. She wants to be able to go back to when things were more simple, back to before this rift formed in their family. It's also probably a reference to her siblings when they were growing up while the opening chorus was more a general focus on her whole family.
