Defeater - Blessed Burden [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Unwanted from his first breath
A mother's blessing born, a father's burden worn
The bright shine of the sunrise
Along the tile floor to the open door

With blood on the sheets, she lay on the mattress
Staring aimlessly, numb, dark and decayed
On the bathroom floor of their rundown apartment
Scraping fingers on tile just to feel something

Unwanted by a bastard father
Unwanted

But through the hazel eyes of his mother
She's praying for god to save her
"Please save me, please save me"
But when she needs him most, he doesn't answer
Another rosary, another unanswered plea
"Please take us away, please let us be safe
Let everyone that sees me forget my face."

But all she gets is the drunk with his fists and that old devil look in his eye
Him and Jack, that gambling debt, that old devil look in his eye

And without warning he raises his hand to her
And without warning he raises his hand to her and he says
"Your god can't hear you, not down here."
"Please save me, please save me"
"No one will save you because no one cares."
Another rosary, another unanswered plea
"Please take us away, please let us be safe
Let everyone that sees me forget my face."

And with her newborn boy
They would cry until the early morning light
It was the first of many, many sleepless nights
