The Fall

20 Years

we ain't friends

april

Imagine like Lennon 
Hope like Guthrie 
Sing like Seeger

And Sang Along

I wanna feel your love all over me
Wash me over like sweet Victoria Falls
Sweep me up, break laws for me
I'm talking of physics and gravity
I want you to hold me like today's our eternity.

Fortunately, there are many good mothers and increasingly also good fathers in the world. However, there are exceptions to this rule. In the case of fathers, these exceptions have been seen for some time and violent fathers in particular are sanctioned more quickly and the affected children are better protected from them. 
Violent mothers are still a big taboo topic. This may have something to do with the fact that they usually express their violence more covertly and subtly than violent fathers. 
The following song is based on numerous experiences of children who have become victims of maternal violence. Representative for this is a story told by a 12-year-old boy who fled from his violent mother to his father (both parents had been separated for a long time).   

Mother Violence

Glassy eyes, frightened look
Pale face, far removed from happiness

Early adult, was never a child
Was mother's slave, repressed whirlwind

His own will was broken, forbidden to resist
Every no from him was punished 
Futile pleading

Subtle, hidden and cold
Mother Violence

Neighbors all look the other way
Just hands off the dirt

Remember, moms are just sweet
Violence never comes from mothers, the fathers are the swines
Step up to the lying club, come in, let the doubt be, don't want to be Outside, otherwise you will become the swine

Locked up in the cellar, deportation arrest.
At night on the street, so scared to death

Top-Secret blows, was always to blame
Always mental torture, day-to-day turmoil

One day he broke out from home, fled to his good father
Seemed liberated, but next morning a hangover came 

Subtle, hidden and cold
Mother Violence

Outwardly quite sweet and nice, she pulled her spider's web 
Around his exile
Youth Welfare fell for her, saw only her saint`s shine

The blind choir sang: 
Only fathers can be perpetrators, mothers are so weak and small. 

Subtle, hidden and cold
Mother Violence
Subtle, hidden and cold
Mother Violence
Subtle, hidden and cold,
Mother Violence

Broken
