One of Pearl Jam’s more well-known songs off of Vs is about a misunderstood child with a learning disability. The child is abused by her parents, thus, Eddy Vedder says, “the shade goes down, so the neighbors won’t see” as the girl is punished for being difficult.
Daughter Lyrics
[Intro]
(You guys ready?)
[Verse]
Alone, listless
Breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl, violence
Center of her own attention
The mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud
The shades go down, it's in her head
Painted room, can't deny there's something wrong
[Chorus]
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me
[Bridge]
She holds the hand that holds her down
She will rise above
Oooh ooh
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me
[Outro]
The shades go down
The shades go down
The shades go go...go
