[Intro (Atmosphärisch / Spoken Whisper)]
Dear Mum…
Do you remember me?
[Leises Dröhnen, entfernte verzerrte Gitarren, Herzschlag-artige Bassdrum.]
[Verse 1 (Clean / half-screamed, steigert sich)]
I was just 4 years old
what kind of monster you have been
I always did how I was told
the abuse who left unseen
[Pre-Chorus (Spannung aufbauen, steigende Aggression)]
YOU TOLD ME
i need to shut my mouth
(I WAS JUST A FUCKING KID)
you just told me to shut off
(YOU JUST NEVER CARED)
And now i must live with it
[CHORUS (Core des Songs – dein emotionaler Anker, brutal + einprägsam)]
[CHORUS:]
Dear Mum, look at what you’ve done
You turned your own child into none
Dear Mum, I bled in your house
You taught me fear, you ripped me out
Dear Mum, I scream at your ghost
The love I needed hurt me most
Dear Mum, hear what I become
A broken heart, but still I stand
[Letzte Zeile kann als Shout wiederholt werden]
“A BROKEN HEART — BUT STILL I STAND!”
[Verse 2 (Härter, tiefer, aggressiver)]
I was just 17 years old
You never cared what kind of monster you have been
I always did what I was told
The abuse who left unseen
i didn't shut my mouth
(I WAS NO MORE A KID)
i never cared to shut off
(YOU JUST DON'T CARE)
[Pre-Chorus 2 (noch wütender, rhythmisch)]
You didn't want me anymore
(I was in your way)
You didn't want me anymore
(held your rage at bay)
You clearly didn't care
Even when I said I won't be anymore
You clearly didn't want me there
(YOU FUCKING WHORE)
[CHORUS (Wiederholung, aber brutaler gescreamt)]
Dear Mum, look at what you’ve done
You turned your own child into none
Dear Mum, I bled in your house
You taught me fear, you ripped me out
Dear Mum, I scream at your ghost
The love I needed hurt me most
Dear Mum, hear what I become
A broken heart, but still I stand
A BROKEN HEART — BUT STILL I STAND!
[Bridge (Breakdown-Anlauf, minimalistisch, düster)]
Dear Mum…
Do you hear me now?
Your shadow still follows me…
But I don’t belong to you anymore.
[Tiefe, gedämpfte Gitarren, langsame Doublebass, schwere Akzente.
Breakdown / Groove Part (rhythmisch, zerstörerisch)]
You had no longer power over me
All I wanted, was to be free
[Wiederholen als Chant, rhythmisch gehackt
“NO POWER OVER ME — I WILL BE FREE!”]
[Solo]
[Episches, emotionales Gitarren Solo]
[Verse 3 (ruhiger, aber bedrohlich)]
Dear Mum
I was just 20 years old
You had no longer power over me
All I wanted, was to be free
[Final Chorus größter, brutalster Moment des Songs]
Dear Mum, look at what you’ve done
You turned your own child into none
Dear Mum, I bled in your house
You taught me fear, you ripped me out
Dear Mum, I scream at your ghost
The love I needed hurt me most
Dear Mum, hear what I become
A broken heart, but still I stand
A BROKEN HEART — BUT STILL I STAND!
[Outro Spoken / screamed, eisig]
Dear Mum
I will never forget
WHAT KIND OF MONSTER YOU ARE.
