Here she's coming and she's drunk again
She's only seventeen
Her daddy said "well that's enough of that come be my little queen"
And now he's touching her wrong again
He's gonna give her disease
He never wanted it anyway
He only does as he please

Won't you tell her that I said I'm the one
I couldn't hurt her like everyone
And tell her that I said I'm the one
And I don't deserve her

Here he's coming and he's drunk again
He's on amphetamines
Scratch his nails down the other leg
'Cause you're my little queen
And now he's touching her wrong again
She's only trying to get by
He never wanted it anyway
He never soils the child

Won't you tell her that I said I'm the one
I couldn't hurt her like everyone
And tell her that I said I'm the one
And I don't deserve her
We're coming for you
You

    My Interpretation:i don't think this is so obvious. remember seether song "love her". this song might be about another prostitute, ant "daddy can be client. because they usually are abussive. "daddy" not always means "fathers". like in Lana Del Rey's song "put me in a movie"

    General Comment:Have you all thought that the desease he mentions might be a psychological effect it had/has on her...like a virus?!?! ...x
    and the line that he asks some one to let her know that he is the one....she might not believe him and he needs some one to speak on his behalv to get thru to her. thru her pushing him away is making him feel that he dosnt deserve her or hes just being humble I maybe wrong...x

    General Comment:Well. I think all of you are right. And the abuse part is pretty obvious.
    But the feeling of the songs states otherwise. Not the lyrics, but the music itself.
    See, the chorus states
    "I couldn't hurt her like everyone"
    Yet "I don't deserve her"
    The Irony of that is, that whilst he thinks he isn't good enough for her. The rest of the world is abusing her. And while he thinks he's doing her a favor by staying away from her, the reality is that he could be the one to 'save' her. But because of his bi-assed behaviour (too shy, low self-esteem, etc.) , he won't. Thus, lets her be abused.
    I'm think that's where the 'dark' riffs come from. The whole song spits irony.
    In the end, I guess, it's not him speaking. "We're coming for you!" It's the "song itself". (I think of it as 'demons' or something along those lines.) Something to punish.
    But the question is, are they coming for the abusing father, or the cowerd that didn't dare to save her?

    General Comment:this is a song about a 17 year old who's dad gets her drunk, then he sexually abuses her. he is possibly going to give her an STD, he never wanted the disease anyway, so he does what he wants.

    General Comment:Holy Fuck. This song is so disturbing. Damn I can't believe shit like this actually happens. Obviously we know the meaning. Anyone could figure it out. It's not that hard.

    General Comment:This is obviously a song about a girl who molested by her father. From the lines "Here she's coming and she's drunk again Shes only seventeen" you see the girl is a troubled teen who drinks and possibly does drugs. The chorus is by someone who truely cares about her, but doesn't think he deserves her. The only line in this song that i can't completely decifer is the last one "We're coming for you" I think there are two possibilities 1. The boy who cares about her is going after her father and something might happen to him, like he might get arrested (which would explain why all of his lines have been to someone who he wants to tell the girl what hes saying "won't you tell her"),or 2. he is going to rescue the girl and take her somewhere away from her father.
