“Stupid Child” seems to describe a twisted infantile-like relationship, with reference to self-harm and abuse.
The song’s lyrics and title have a lot of parallels to “Helpless Child”, a more lyrically dense song that would appear a good 10 years later on the band’s final album in their original run...
Stupid Child Lyrics
[Refrain]
I'm your stupid child
I'm your stupid child
[Verse 1]
I'm your stupid helpless child
I'm your stupid helpless child
I'm your stupid helpless child
I'm your stupid naked child
I'm your stupid naked child
I'm your stupid helpless child
[Verse 2]
I'm ashamed of what I am
I'm ashamed of what I am
I'm ashamed of what I am
I'm ashamed of what I am
I'm ashamed of what I am
I'm ashamed of what I am
[Verse 3]
I like the way that feels
I like the way that feels
I like the way that burns me
I like the way that burns me
I like the way that dulls me
I like the way that dulls me
I like the way that cuts me down
I like the way that cuts me down
[Refrain]
I'm your stupid child
I'm your stupid child
[Outro]
I like the way that feels
I like the way that feels
I like the way that feels
I like the way that feels
I like the way that feels
I like the way that feels
I like the way that feels
I like the way that feels
I like the way that feels
