She doesn't look, she doesn't see
Opens up for nobody
Figures out, she figures out
Narrow line, she can't decide
Everything short of suicide
Never hurts, nearly works
Something scratching its way out
Something you want to forget about
A part of you that'll never show
You're the only one that'll ever know
Take it back when it all began
Take your time, would you understand
What it's all about?
Something scratching its way out
Something you want to forget about
No one expects you to get up
All on your own with no one around
Opens up for nobody
Figures out, she figures out
Narrow line, she can't decide
Everything short of suicide
Never hurts, nearly works
Something scratching its way out
Something you want to forget about
A part of you that'll never show
You're the only one that'll ever know
Take it back when it all began
Take your time, would you understand
What it's all about?
Something scratching its way out
Something you want to forget about
No one expects you to get up
All on your own with no one around

who just wants everything bad to be over
she thinks that there is no other way other than suicide
its really quite sad
and makes me want to cry
cause it just reminds of myself
but then again
it could different things for everyone
who listens to this song
let it mean what you want it to
<3
I considered this song my life theme song and gonna get the name of the song, tattooed on my leg on the 23rd of may (hopefully)
"She doesn't look, she doesn't see"
Meaning that she didn't look when he was assaulting her.
"Opens up for nobody"
how she kept it a secret.
"Figures out, she figures out"
how she believes that it was her fault.
"Narrow line, she can't decide"
her debate whether or not to tell someone.
"Everything short of suicide"
cutting because of effects of the assault.
"Never hurts, nearly works"
the display she puts on to fool other people.
"Something is scratching its way out"
how she almost tells people
"Something you want to forget about"
the assault.
"A part of you that you'll never show,
you're the only one that'll ever know"
meaning it's kept a secret. No one knows about what happened.
"Take it back to when it all began"
I always thought that was her remembering the assault, analyzing it, trying to understand what made this man choose her.
"Take your time, would you understand what it's all about,
what it's all about?"
when she's telling someone and explaining why she's so broken and so depressed.
"Something is scratching its way out,
something you want to forget about.
No one expects you to get out."
The aftermath of telling her story. She feels like people are ashamed of her and angry with her, blaming her for what happened whether its true or not. She believes they don't think she will ever get better.
"All on your own with no one around"
meaning that even after she tells the story, she still feels alone.
The girl in this song knows what's inside and she's afraid of it getting out. She's scared of people actually knowing who she is because what she's holding inside is too much for everyone else around her. She's rather forget about everything and be numb to her pain than let it out and risk other people seeing her low. She tries forgetting about whatever in her past(or present) is weighing her down and it almost works. This girl feels isolated, like she can't open up because she knows she isn't like other people and doesn't want to burden other people with the real(painful) things in life. She'd love to commit suicide, but it's almost worse to stay alive and she knows she has to stay alive even though she goes hops from side to side of the "narrow line." She tries to go back to when things were good, maybe when she's still ignorant about the evils of this world, but she knows she can't because she'll never forget about what's happened to her. No one expects anything more than normal from her, but she knows she can't be the same as everyone else around her. In regards to the title "little house;" I think it's a metaphor. I think the little house is the girl's thoughts before the reality of the real world was opened up to her.
I think it's about a girl who was raped and became pregnant and got an abortion
Now, she's cutting to cope with all the pain she's feeling and she keeps contemplating suicide, but, can't bring herself to do it.
This song means so much to me, im soo glad i found it. I also like how the lyrics are not really obvious as too what the song is about, so it gives people there own ideas of feelings to relate to the song.
