Father's Son

I was having a bit of an insomniac night last night, though I do not know why, for some reason I just for the life of me could not get to sleep. Perhaps it was the electrical storm in the air, had me charged in mind and body. I do feed off of a good storm, but at any rate, when I have trouble sleeping I usually always put on my ipod, and getting lost in the music generally helps me drift off to sleep. Well this time it just was not working. I would slip away for a while but then all of the sudden I would be brought back again into wakeful consciousness. So as I was having one of my lucid moments of wakefulness this song happened to come on, and I do not know if it was just the late night, and my efforts to sleep, or my current mental state, but something about it had really struck to the core of my soul. It was just one of those songs for some reason spoke to me upon some deep intament level and the words seemed to me to be quite poetic in the feeling and visions they inspired.

The song was called Father's Son, by 3 Doors Down.

"Father's Son"

In the glare of a neon sign
She laid her body down
The damned walked in beside her
And laid his money down

He said don't try to scream now
But I want this one to hurt
And tonight my pretty one
I'm gonna get my money's worth

He said they never listen
She said they'd never understand
That I don't this for pleasure
I just do it cause I can

I swear I didn't want to
And I swear I didn't know
That things like this could happen
To a 17-year old

[Chorus]
And I've bundled up all these fears inside
And I've bottled up all of this pain
And no one or nothing can take this away
But I won't let it happen again
Never again

In the haze of a smoky room
He chokes that bottle down
It's been a month since her saw her face
Underneath the blood stained gown

He thinks about that little girl
And the one he has at home
And wonders what if that was my little girl
Walkin down that road alone

[Chorus]
And I've bundled up all these fears inside
And I've bottled up all of this pain
And no one or nothing can take this away
But I won't let it happen again
Never again
Never again
No

Maybe I'm just crazy or the devil got inside
But either way my soul is gone, And I'll end this all tonight
The one hand throws the whiskey, and the other throws the gun
As he cries out to the heavens
I am not my father's son

[Chorus]
And I've bundled up all these fears inside
And I've bottled up all of this pain
And no one or nothing can take this away
But I won't let it happen again
Never again
Never again
No
