Martha and Ilse are two young women who are raped by their fathers while their mothers ignore it, and they have no one to talk to about the experience because such things are social taboos.
The Dark I Know Well Lyrics
[MARTHA]
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
You say, "Time for bed now, child"
Mom just smiles that smile
Just like she never saw me
Just like she never saw me
So, I leave, wantin' just to hide
Knowin' deep inside
You are comin' to me
You are comin' to me
You say all you want is just a kiss good night
Then you hold me and you whisper, "Child, the Lord won't mind
It's just you and me
Child, you're a beauty
God, it's good, the lovin'—ain't it good tonight?
You ain't seen nothin' yet, gonna treat you right
It's just you and me
Child, you're a beauty"
[ILSE]
I don't scream, though I know it's wrong
I just play along
I lie there and breathe
Lie there and breathe
I wanna be strong
I want the world to find out
That you're dreamin' on me
Me and my "beauty"
[MARTHA & ILSE]
Me and my "beauty"
You say all you want is just a kiss good night
Then you hold me and you whisper, "Child, the Lord won't mind
It's just you and me
Child, you're a beauty
God, it's good, the lovin'—ain't it good tonight?
You ain't seen nothin' yet, gonna teach you right
It's just you and me
Child, you're a beauty"
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well...
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well...
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well...
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well...
