- Daddy Lyrics / with translationsMy bones are tired, Daddy
I don't get enough sleep
I don't eat as good as I could, Daddy
What's that say about me?
Sometimes I sleep past noon, Daddy
Drink lots of black coffee and I smoke like a chimney.
Yes, I left the refrigerator door half open, Daddy.
What's that say about me?
Sometimes I want to rip out your throat, Daddy
For all those things you said that were mean.
Gonna make you just as vulnerable as I was, Daddy
What's that say about me?
Sometimes I want to bash in your teeth, Daddy.
Gonna use your tongue as a stamp
Gonna rip your heart out the way you did mine, Daddy
Go ahead and psycho-analyze that.
'Cause I'm your creation, I'm your love, Daddy.
Grew up to be and do all those sick things you said I'd do
Well last night I saw you sneak out your window
With your white hood, Daddy
What's' that say about you?
I'm sloppy, what's that say about you?
I'm messy, what's that say about you?
My bones are tired, Daddy
I don't get enough sleep
I don't eat as good as I could, Daddy
What's that say about me?
Sometimes I sleep past noon, Daddy
Drink lots of black coffee and I smoke like a chimney.
Yes, I left the refrigerator door half open, Daddy.
What's that say about me?
Sometimes I want to rip out your throat, Daddy
For all those things you said that were mean.
Gonna make you just as vulnerable as I was, Daddy
What's that say about me?
Sometimes I want to bash in your teeth, Daddy.
Gonna rip your heart out the way you did mine, Daddy
Go ahead and psycho-analyze that.
'Cause I'm your creation, I'm your love, Daddy.
Grew up to be and do all those sick things you said I'd do
Well last night I saw you sneak out your window
With your white hood, Daddy
What's' that say about you?
I'm sloppy, what's that say about you?
I'm messy, what's that say about you?
My bones are tired, Daddy

✔️
When we try to understand the message behind it, Jewel's 'Daddy' deeply penetrates the difficult bond between the performer and his dad, employing grim metaphors such as throat tearing and teeth smashing to express the long-stored rage and the need for revenge, thereby mirroring the sorting out of the past traumas. The Daddy lyrics mainly highlight feelings like anger, stress, heartbreak, hopelessness, and thinking. The composition, however, allows one to see that through the very hardships of parenting and the associated feelings, one can arrive at the point of self-awareness and self-reflection, then of recognizing as well as getting rid of unhealthy practices and options for coping, projecting anger and resentment toward the parent, wishing to get back at the parent, feeling the impact of parental influence and investigating the parent's hypocrisy. The lyrics are full of violent pictures, extremely powerful language, and themes that are not appropriate for children or young people.
