what a haunting song... pretty obvious it's about a father molesting his daughter. but it's interesting because it doesn't make the father out to be a completely bad person, since it's told from his p.o.v. hence the line,
(and i think it goes) "you know we're all tryin to be pure... but it isn't a very easy thing now, is it?". very good song.
he doesn't make the father out to be a bad person? that line you quoted doesn't make him any humaner. what about when he said:
"And the way that you hate me, and the length of your hair
It's the reason I made you, it's the bond that we share"
he's practically rubbing it in her face. and none of it is in his point of view.
first it's the narrator but he describes how Amy's feeling, then it's from the point of view of the boy who saw Amy walking.

THANK YOU!

Everywhere I go, people are constantly talking about how this song in written in three perspectives.
IT'S NOT.
It's written in ONE.
He never actaully sings from the girls or the father's prespective, first of all when he's talking about the girl he sings in second person, as if he's telling a story, it's in SECOND person, as if he's talking to HER. Can't talk to herself in the song! And if she did why would she refer to herself as "you", she wouldn't because it's not in her PERSPECTIVE. And also when it gets to the part about the...

And also when it gets to the part about the dad it goes, "HE SAYS, (Let me repeat, HE SAYS, which is THIRD person. THIRD PERSON= STORY) 'we all follow the rules
We can't very well go and break them now can we?
For you, for you, for you. . . . ."
and then it ends with QUOTATION marks.
Which implies a QUOTE.
Sorry if I might sound like a bitch, it's just annoy me.

okay, what the hell, Firefox said "humaner" was a word, so I tried it but dictionary.com confirmed my suspicions and told me it's not.

i like the part where we're all allowed to have our own opinions on song lyrics.
