Lyrics for Hold Her Down as interpreted by giftedmadness

Hold Her Down Lyrics
take her arms and hold her down...
until she stops kicking
take her arms and hold her down...
until she she stops moving

and they don't know her
but what the fuck
they've got nothing else they can do
and they've no reason
but still they come

and i
would have a hard time facing you
this crime
the shame of what a man can do

take her arms and hold her down...
until she stops screaming
take her arms and hold her down...
until she stops breathing

and they don't know her
but what the fuck
they've got nothing else they can do
and they've no reason
but still they come

and i
would have a hard time facing you
this crime
the shame of what a man can do

take the night back
all they've stolen
all we took from you

Don't know what to say on this one, it just gives me shivers. i know now how people feel when I share some of my poems, it's too real.too close. There's a line missing "I wanna die, for the hell that you've been through" before "take the night back..." For awhile i played this song to death, i don't know maybe in a way it was just that it spoke so much of what i felt at the time, and it was like even if I wasn't able to talk about it someone understood.

This song is about a woman being raped. I like it becuase it's not common to see a man's perspective on this. Its beautiful to hear a man say how shameful it is for a man to be so brutal

I love this song. The way it sounds, what it means, everything.

"And I
Would have a hard time facing you.
This crime;
The shame of what a man can do.
I want to die
For all the Hell that you've been through."
Brilliance, to say the least.

They say what few have the balls to say, and I admire them for saying it. Sometimes I can't listen to this song, but when I can it just grips me, I guess because I can feel some of my own anger in this song. And maybe I wish I had had someone to stand up for me like that then.

Definitely not hard to figure this one out. Something that's interesting is that Glen Phillips uses the word f#%k in this song. Perhaps the only song he uses profanity in? Using such out of character language I think reflects his outrage at this profane act.

side note to MusicDragon-- in Glen's solo career he says he'd "cut off my whole f**king face" in the song Easier.

Disturbingly enough, the first time I ever heard this song was on a kid's music program, either on Nickelodean, or PBS or something like that. I was shocked when I heard the lyrics (they did bleep out the f word) but what were they thinking? I did like the song though, even though I didn't know what it was, so I did a lyric search to find it.
