Analysis of I wish...
Rasmus Berggren 2002 (Linkoping)
Mother is screaming in horror as my father walked into the house, drunk as horse
I hear father screaming something slurred
I wake up in the morning to the broken glass on the floor
I open the fridge; empty
My stomach is screaming for food
Father is laying on the couch, with his beer belly sticking out through the white t shirt
Fucking asshole
Mother is hiding somewhere, or at work
I have to go to school soon
Escape this house
SON, WAIT ONE FUCKING MINUTE!!
He came with the belt, I knew the next step
Pants on the floor, ass in the air, screams in the silence
Well, if that was true
Then I would have had a justification for this hell
Instead I was cursed with a good childhood without no justification for this hell
Dammit
