I was backed into a corner,
And my hands were tied from two…
So I threw my hands into the air,
And I did what I had to do…
There were marks all over her body,
And she never speaks with her friends…
And we stopped showing up on Sundays,
And we will never go back again…
Lord, I’m not ready to have a baby,
So I give him back to you…
And I’ll take him back when I’m ready,
If you can ever forgive what I did…
If you could ever forgive what I did…
When will we be happy?
Where will we find strength?
Can we face our families?
When will you be safe?
Be safe…

have to do with emotional pain...? I was just wondering, because this line and the next, "and she never speaks with her friends" leans me toward believing that it's got a rape scene involved, but then again, why is HE talking about it, if it's really rape and abortion? It just didn't make sense to me...
care to explain?
"As for Aboriri, it's the story of a couple facing the decision of having an abortion or not. We try to write our music from personal experiences, even though some (like aboriri) aren't necessarily "true" stories, they do come from true experiences."

I had not thought of that.
Sad song, but so amazing.
think about it...
The title "Aboriri" means abortion, from Latin "to perish".
"Backed into a corner" could refer to the feeling of having to make a decision of birthing the child or having an abortion.
"Marks all over her body" could refer to the operation [physically and emotionally].
"She never speaks with her friends" refers to the fact that she won't even discuss her abortion with her friends.
The lyrics tell how they stopped going to church, possibly shunned, if the abortion was known about or just felt dirty?
The rest [all of the song] is pretty explanatory. Amazing song. Absolutely amazing.
