Very vague song lyric help needed...

OK, not even whole lyrics- just a general song plot and a “sounds like”.

Plot: About childhood emotional abuse by parents- something like a “you were supposed to take care of me- why did you abuse me?” kind of thing. Definately emotional abuse- calling stupid, such like that.

Sounded heavier- a-la Creed, Everclear, Nickleback. Male lead vocal. Very angry song.

I heard it halfway through a few weeks ago and figured I’d hear it again and ID it, but so far, nothing. Pretty recent, I would guess.

Anyone? Help?

Thanks in advance, and if this drops like a stone with no replies, I’ll understand. It’s a damned vague description. I was hoping someone else connected with the song and could help ID it.

Seems like a song by Papa Roach. Can’t remember it, look for their radio singles and you’ll probably find it.

Hmmm…I listened to one that I thought was a possibility , “Broken Home”, but that’s not it. In other news, are there any more depressing lyrics then the ones by Papa Roach? Yow.

It wasn’t quite that heavy as rock goes.

Thanks for trying to help!!

If Papa Roach was too heavy, then this probably is too, but what about “Down with the Sickness” by Disturbed? Just a thought.

Betcha anything it’s “For You” by Staind from the Break the Cycle CD.

Yer welcome.

:wink:

PS - Here are the lyrics:

Staind - "For You"

To my mother, to my father,
It’s your son or it’s your daughter,
Are my screams loud enough for you to hear me?
Should I turn this up for you?

Cause I sit locked inside my head
Remembering everything you’ve said
This silence gets us nowhwere
Gets us nowhere way too fast

The silence is what kills me
I need someone here to help me
But you don’t know how to listen
And let me make my decisions

Cause I sit locked inside my head
Remembering everything you’ve said
This silence gets us nowhwere
Gets us nowhere way too fast

All your insults and your curses make
me feel like I’m not a person
And I feel like I am nothing but
you made me so do something
'Cause I’m fucked up because you are
Need attention, attention you couldn’t give

Cause I sit locked inside my head
Remembering everything you’ve said
This silence gets us nowhwere
Gets us nowhere way too fast

Jeremy or Alive by Pearl Jam. :wink:

Did anyone else think for a moment that Zette wanted to know about a Vera Vague song?

Wow,the server ate my post!

It was indeed “For You” by Staind

Thanks so much all!

Zette

That was exactly it- I so appreciate it! I can’t believe you got it from my vague description. Thanks ever so much!

(Sorry it took so long to say thanks- I’ve tried for days to post this and the hamsters keep eating it)

Zette

Welcome, Zette! :slight_smile:

It’s a pretty powerful song, and your description was pretty good!
