Lyrics: And they’re making children And they’re making love With their old excuses "We are built for reproduction" But I find it soothing When I am confined I’m just fearing one day soon I’ll lose my mind Then I’ll lose my children Then I’ll lose my love Then I’ll sit in silence Let the picture(s) soak Out of televisions Float across the room Whisper into one ear Out the other one (Instrumental break) Then I’ll take my clothes off And I’ll walk around Because it’s so nice outside And I like the way the sun feels And when it’s dark I’ll call out in the night for my mother But she isn’t coming back for me Cause she’s already gone But you will not tell me that Cause you know it hurts me every time you say it And you know you are doing the right thing You must know you are doing the right thing I have lost my children I have lost my love I just sit in silence Let the picture(s) soak Out of televisions x5 (Instrumental break) And they’re making children Everyone’s in love I just sit in silence Let the picture(s) soak... *please let me know if any of the lyrics need to be corrected :)

[@courtneybryant4874]

i work with people with dementia, up until their final moments and i cannot express the heartache that this song captures. I cannot explain with words the helplessness you feel around people suffering with the disease. They have lost their children, they have lost their loves, they just sit in silence and let the picture soak out of televisions. SUCH PERFECT LYRICS.

[@lh4864]

Wow. Just wow. I'm a huge Daughter fan, and over the years of obsessing over their music, I noticed that their songs sound more profound and jarring when you're in the mood for dark and somber music. On the rare occasions that I'm happy, I can't listen to them at all. But days like today, it's all I listen to. Maybe I'm crazy for wanting to wallow in my misery, but their music makes me feel alive when I don't want to be.

[@Meyour67120]

You're not crazy at all. It's even the opposite, you're in good mental health. Hearing sad song make actually people happy, by a cathartic effect. It's like allowing our emotions to be express, by the media of art.

"makes me feel alive when I don't want to be." This really got me. :'( ♥

I work with an ederly couple and it's just like this. He's 72 and she's 73 and she has dementia/Alzheimer's . He is heartbroken and lonely living in the house they built together watching her deteriorating right before his eyes. He said I'll never forget the day the nurse asked if she could tell her who I was and she said I don't know. He said I went to the barn and cried like a baby. My heart aches for him. He tells stories of how active and kind she was and to see how she can barely walk now with assistance kills us. She still smiles and laughs however so I'm going to keep it going as long as I can and he says my company helps so that's something.

[@Jistarii]

As someone who has seen multiple family members go through Alzheimers and Dementia. Its terrifying, and this song really puts weight to all of that. "And when it’s dark I’ll call out in the night for my mother But she isn’t coming back for me Cause she’s already gone" I've seen my family members call out for family that has already died, and then to explain to them that the people they love are no longer there anymore, and watch them go through the heartbreak again, just like the previous day you explained it. Life is precious. Don't waste it. Spend time with the people you love. Tell them you love them, show them you love them. Because tomorrow is never promised.

[@enriquedv353]

same, though sometimes it was kinda funny, when I would bring a friend home she would say like "oh my grandson!" and my friends would get so confused. But yeah she always forgets her mother died and sometimes doesn't recognise my grandfather so that's really sad.

[@notyourbusiness7239]

My mother works at a hospital for the elderly who have Alzheimers, and just hearing about the families breaks my heart. My mother comes home and tells me about her patients (of course not specifically, that would break the confidentiality) and they don't remember their own children or grandchildren. It breaks my heart just thinking about the patients being so confused and conflicted. The family crying because they have lost their loved one. I really feel for everyone who is going through this. You can get through it.

im not even exaggerating when i say i sobbed. i was already moved by the time the man was in the launderette, and then when he was walking back home, and we see the couple with the face paint on, i broke. the stark contrast between him with the empty, wrapped in plastic, red jacket, and then the guy kissing the girl on the forehead, both of them wearing face paint, i couldnt take i anymore. AND THE MARRIAGE PHOTOS AND THE RING ON HIS FINGER but i mean most of all, the fucking lyrics. there are no words to describe how much each and every one of daughter's songs touch me, but this song gets me every. time. i also want to say that i did just watch three other daughter music videos so the 'oh my god i am about to cry' level was already quiite high

+Edward Marshall Yeah the "lies" part seems as if although we know it wasn't intended to.

[@darrenbrown7037]

+Edward Marshall Did you know that referring to old people as "cute" is actually quite demeaning? Not trying to be mean here, I just couldn't help but comment because in your reply you state that "elderlies" is derogatory and then you go on to call old people "cute." There is an ongoing agreement in our culture that it's okay to refer to elderly people as cute, and yet it only reinforces a prejudices ageism, there is a loss of respect and dignity when people who have lived the extraordinary ups and down of an entire lifetime are reduced to being "cute." Old people know more emotional, mental, and physical pain than anyone, they know the spectrum of human diversity and experience, "cute" was the first 10 years of their life, what of the journey that followed the next 70 years thereafter? I'm not so sure cute is the word I would use to describe such an immense achievement.

[@shrekhasgay2785]

[@orlandogloom5409]

Nice long post but, not sure what you're talking about. Maturity has little to do with age and (to an extent) experience, and so does respectability, seriousness, etc. I wish people would/could think before attempting to (supposedly) correct others, or upvoting someone's comment... sigh...

[@fabled.]

I saw an interview where the band mentions that Elena is exclusively writing all the lyrics for their songs. I can't imagine what her private thoughts are like, to be able to so consistently evoke feelings of sadness and despair...

[@jmtothemusic]

We start our lives with everything- a family, a home, a life ahead of us. All of our life we experience and learn and struggle, and we still inevitably die with nothing anyway. It's the ultimate paradox that once we have the experience and knowledge to really love properly, there's nothing left for us. How sad.

[@BURNOUTRS]

I feel like there was a time when this would have been too much for me. it would have been too depressing and it would have served, to me at least, as some sort of grim reminder of the pain and suffering that the worlds seems to be full of. Now I can't see how i could have ever been so blind. i want to put it into perspective and say that I've had my own fight with anxiety and depression since I was very young. the above statement is reflective of who i was as a teenager. Now at 22 I see things in a completely different light. This video, this song, as Daughter's work most often does, makes me cry. it make me bawl, it makes me feel a sadness so incredibly deep that, paradoxically, it feels empowering. If I've suffered in this way, if so many people that come to these videos have suffered in some way, then it means we need to make a change. I no longer feel that this music is willing me to be depressed, instead it should stand as the impetus to spread as much love throughout the world as I can. If you feel saddened by what you see and hear, let that motivate you to do everything you can to make a difference in this world.

[@deborahpaulenenchehawthorn]

Thank you for such powerful and consoling words.I myself currently struggle with depression, anxiety and post traumatic stress. I'm so grateful to be reminded that through the grievances and the hurt I have suffered, there is beauty in the world and I can be an avenue of perpetuation of said beauty.

[@leviacronym6770]

Lots of people will hear Daughter and automatically call the band's music "depressing" because they don't know what depression really is. Something being depressing is more than just feeling "sad". The only ones, like you and me, that can understand it are those that have gone through depression. So yeah, I get why the happy people would misuse the word, lol. But could this music help enhance people's depression? Maybe, but it doesn't for me personally. As someone that suffers from mental illness, depression being part of it, since I was a teenager (in my 30's now), I can safely say this type of music doesn't depress me at all. If anything, it liberates me. It feels real, and I can relate to it on many levels. If I need a good cry, it's always there and lets me release all of my feelings without hurting myself. No amount of "happy" pop music or banging bad ass metal can ever hope to do an inch of what Daughter and other talented musicians do for me. Music has played an important role in my life, and I honestly believe that without it, I would have killed myself when I was much younger. Obviously, Daughter and other music, is different for everyone, but for me, for someone that has suffered depression, anxiety, and more, since I was a kid, I can say this music is both freeing and comforting for me. But I do think you're right that this music can help motivate you into doing something to make others happy, or just to live your life more fully since tomorrow is never promised to us.

[@bruh666]

Thank you for this. I find it strange when people call sad music "depressing" or avoid it for that reason. Sadness isn't a bad emotion and expresing sadness through music can be beneficial.

[@SLE3PR]

Daughter is like a conduit for all the sadness in the world.

[@HelenRachael]

I don't really call anyone ever because I'm an awkward person but my nan recently got her hearing aids sorted and can hear much better now, watching this emphasised for me how lonely she must get on her own in a different city, so I think I'm going to start calling her each week for a chat when I can't travel to see her. What a powerful song.

Lyrics for russian guys (перевод взял с амальгамы) Они заводят детей И занимаются любовью, По традиции оправдывая это тем, Что созданы для продолжения рода. А я нахожу успокаивающим, Когда сижу в четырех стенах. Я лишь боюсь, что однажды Сойду с ума. Затем я потеряю своих детей, Затем я потеряю свою любовь, Затем я буду сидеть в тишине, Впитывать картинки Из телевизора, Плывущие по комнате, Шепчущие в одно ухо И вылетающие из другого. Затем я скину одежду И пойду гулять, Потому что снаружи так хорошо, И мне нравится ощущать на себе лучи солнца. А когда стемнеет, Я буду звать в ночи свою мать Но она не вернется за мной, Потому что ее уже нет. Но я знаю, что ты мне этого не скажешь, Потому что ты знаешь, как мне больно это слышать от тебя каждый раз. И ты знаешь, что поступаешь правильно, Ты должен знать о том, что поступаешь правильно. Я потеряла своих детей, Я потеряла любовь. Я просто сижу в тишине И впитываю картинки Из телевизора, Из телевизора, Из телевизора, Из телевизора, Из телевизора. Они заводят детей, Все влюблены... А я сижу в тишине И впитываю картинки...

He starts off walking downhill, which is relatively easy for him, but after getting her dress, he has to walk uphill, and it becomes harder for him, as he makes his way back. The symbolism is great there, especially when he walks by a happy couple and right after, has to sit down and rest and he ends up breaking down and crying. Then there's the kids at the end, full of life and happy, kicking trash around, which looks like dust/ash. This video and the music, of course, is just so heart breaking beautiful and meaningful. The pictures, the mementos around the room, and then the empty room...a lot of us can relate to this. I've heard this song and watched this video many times and it never fails to strike me hard in the chest. Judging by all the comments, a lot of people have been just as moved, and some more so than others. Loss is so hard for so many people and Daughter captures it perfectly.

[@QueenErrr]

A few years ago NOBODY knew who Daughter was. This new album is so fucking awesome and I'm glad that they're now getting the exposure they deserve.

[@BlodTussi]

God, this song AND video strikes me hard in the feels. I recently discovered Daughter and I am already obsessed with several songs. I have to say that this video actually makes sense with the music. Can't tell you how many songs have weird, kinda out there videos that don't always correlate to the song itself. But this one works very well. Separately, both are strong, but put together, they make my eyes water. It's so sad, so realistic, and it makes me want to cry. I LOVE this song so much along with Still and Landfill. The part in the song/video that gets to me the most is: And when it’s dark I’ll call out in the night for my mother But she isn’t coming back for me Cause she’s already gone But you will not tell me that Cause you know it hurts me every time you say it And you know you are doing the right thing You must know you are doing the right thing

[@TheNaughtyvenus]

I've listened to this album countless times over two years. I have just gotten the news that my grandmother has an initial case of Alzheimer's, and it reminded me of this song. I don't know what to do, knowing that I'll have to watch her life come to sitting in silence, letting the pictures soak out of televisions (she really likes to watch TV). Just thought I'd write this down somewhere, to make myself more aware of it. Grandmother, I am terribly sorry.

[@misan9821]

I didn't much think about this song being about Alzheimer until I saw the video. I was more fond of the idea how this song goes with the main theme of screwed up past and how you passively suffer under all these painful past memories (let the pictures soak). Similar to how daughter portrayed this kind of pain in their song Youth. This song is just going one step further in the stages of despair and broken life. The apathetic uttering of "Then I'll lose my children, love" only makes it more clear, that the feelings earlier expressed are vanishing away. How through all this pain, you get numb for any kind of feeling and just sit there in silence. This song symbolizes heart break over the past so perfectly, that even after the smug feeling in the beginning of the song of "and they're making children with their old excuses" you suddenly have the reveal of how broken of a personality you actually are, you go outside and then the reality dawns on you, you cry for your mother. You try so much to revive your alive self of the past, that you go out and see how nice the sun feels, but there are still so many things that make you dead inside. Guess every song has a different meaning for everyone. And I see how my opinion on the lyrics only reflects my situation. Funny.

[@leviacronym6770]

You're neither wrong nor right. Music (and poems) have always been meant to be interpreted by the listener/reader. Some musicians understand this and refuse to tell their fans what each song was inspired by, what it means to them personally. Everyone always listens to a song and then wants someone to tell them what it means, what it's about. I just like to listen and feel the music, and come to my own conclusion. I do like to hear other's thoughts on it, which is why I read and commented on yours.

[@FalsettoSlumber]

My grandmother has Alzheimer's, and whilst it's progressing, she can still remember us. It seems awful, but part of me hopes that her terminal cancer, or her diabetes, takes her first, before she forgets who we are, or who she is. My grandmother is one of the most important people in my life; I based my final year fine art degree show project on my relationship with her, about her memories, and my memories. Without her to inspire me, I would never have passed. Wouldn't be doing a mental health nursing degree to help people in her position. Wouldn't be who I am today. This is an excellently done video, I cried my eyes out. Just today, before I watched this, I bought tickets for my partner and I to see Daughter in January, and I'm so very glad I did, if this is what the quality of their new album will be...

I remember I used to not like this song, but told myself I'd come back to this. Somehow I knew someday I'll like this song. Now that I gave it another try, I wept like a child.

I am sitting here clutching onto my Momma who is in stage 6 Alzheimer's and just weeping beyond belief at this.

Strength and Guidance

[@shrekhasgay2785]

Elizabeth Grace Shit, that would be hell. I send you my condolences.

[@earthsky2336]

I'm so SORRYYYYYYYY!!! I love you and her! I could just imagine! My heart goes out to you! Live for her ! Don't ever stop!! I love you

[@cleverestx]

My heart goes out to you and your family.

[@FaIsALl115]

I know my comment doesn't mean anything. But please stay strong. At least for her.

[@jessicacruz6410]

Is it just me or did anyone else cry

[@Serenabella123]

Yes yes and yes..... I am trying to stop

[@franone388]

I'm bawling my eyes out crying, help ;-;

[@charliiebrown6121]

My grandmother passed away in march, I lived many years of my childhood in her house, she became a mother to me but I'm glad she is gone now, her last years alive were so difficult due to health issues and a deep depression consequence of my great-grandmother death (her mom). She is no longer suffering here and I thank God for that even it that means not seeing or hugging her anymore.

[@111a-j2z]

"Cause she's already gone" always makes me cry, I hope I never lose any of my parents, this song makes me imagine how I'd feel and appreciate them more. I hope I die first or something and never feel that way.

[@cgalanowsky]

One of the better music videos I've seen in my life..direction and cinematography is incredible

[@Tallster3]

And the new one too!! The director of "Doing the Right Thing" and "Numbers" deserves an award... Absolutely amazing, breath-taking, genius, and beautiful videos (and I can't wait for the third!!)

[@giselledanielle1038]

Her voice=chills!!

[@deniseaviles3394]

Daughter never fails to surprise. Love her mind. Love her melancholy. Love her music.

[@kaitlinmadio6645]

This is too good not to be playing on repeat 😍

[@capturesintime639]

After crying my whole childhood, I sit here, 15. Tearless and free. Because I find the pain soothing, freeing, in a way. Because at least it is the truth.

[@iunnoo]

I've been missing out on daughter for the last 5 years and I have no excuse but I'm here now and I'm enjoying my stay

[@harjaskohli8892]

daughter deserves more, much more subscribers & views , she is so talented, so deep. its always great looking at talents like this.

[@aly3558]

The face paint on the younger couple is the same as Elena's childhood photo, i.e. the cover for 'The Wild Youth' EP! Can't wait for January 2016 ♥♥

[@lovelessdrunkbaby1256]

Please don't ever stop making music. I'm sure your sound warms a lot of hearts around the world. 💟 Kisses, a fan from Brazil.

[@SashaWillems]

litertally crying, such an emotional song x

[@SashaWillems]

*literally oops

[@MiaMoran]

this was so beautiful i am in tears. words cannot describe how excited I am for her new album coming in January, so so so excited.

[@EkaterinaPorSuerte]

It was so worth the wait! I love you so much guys, can't wait to see you again!

[@tonnaboy10]

I just discovered Daughter this week and I’m loving them. Got to listen with headphones and turn it up loud though.

[@edenbosich]

I can't really explain what this song means to me, the way it makes me wander through my memories, and some of my deepest fears... When I was 8 years old, my aunt passed away from cancer, and I've seen her suffering, she was in pain. Her death has caused the worst feeling that I've ever felt, and, someday, I am going to face this feeling again, and I'm afraid. Maybe, someday, I will have children, and maybe a wife, but, somehow, I feel that I am going to die alone, that I am going to lose my loved ones, and I will have to face this feeling again... But alone. And maybe, near death...

[@1312nikolas]

This has some seriously good cinematography going on..

[@seunghunyang4584]

2:53 ohhhhhhh!! are those two from 'Wild youth (EP)'??

[@andreacamacho4408]

They aren't. The kids from The Wild Youth are Elena and her brother. :D

[@seunghunyang4584]

Andrea Camacho :( But they looks similar.. I think they are intended!

[@andreacamacho4408]

+seunghun Yang The guy could be Elena's brother... I haven't seen a picture of him, so it's a possibility.

[@frname7665]

+seunghun Yang It's supposed to represent a link with The Wild Youth, yes, but no, they're not the same persons (maybe the guy is, but not the girl)

[@pouaichhdelavega4784]

+Andrea Camacho It's not her brother

[@russiagreeceindata8959]

I cry every single time I watch this video Thank you, the whole team, for existing and for creating this video

[@sepilooo]

This video made me cry hard... and actually appreciate my parents more while they're healthy...

[@Roland2610]

seems to capture the darkness at the end of life but also its beauty. Amazingly brilliant, soulful and powerful. Thank you for all that contributed in this visual and reflective piece a of music.

[@jvee5322]

Im not sure if Daughter is killing me or keeping me alive . So many feelings. I feel too much and not enough is the melody.

[@m1ssmaniii]

I've literally been re-playing this song over and over again. I cannot wait for their album to be released!!

[@lisigameplay]

And they’re making children Everyone’s in love and I listen Daughter Let the picture(s) soak...

[@CJ-H23]

My grandparents have lost faith in this world and I see it every single day. They both watch tv every waking hour, they forget I graduated high school, my grandfather forgot my own name. He’s forgotten his wife’s before too. People like to ignore the elderly. What they don’t realize is the immense pain they must endure.

[@mariavogiantzi6955]

oh Daughter...another breathtaking song/video..straight to my heart

[@JoyaLewisTheMusician]

Been obsessed with their music and finally getting around to watching their music videos!

[@lostinthevoid9]

I'm afraid of getting old.

[@PotatoChip1018]

Me too oml

[@mollymcintosh2090]

so am i :(

[@nourshankhallouf4347]

😣

[@johnvafeiadis7111]

”I can’t think of getting old it only makes me want to die “ Paramore describe it perfectly

[@shrekhasgay2785]

Tasneem mg The pessimistic ideology is. "Each day I live, I get closer to tragedy, and ultimately, death." The optimistic ideology is, "Each day I live, I get more and more opportunities to conquer anything I want to." Im afraid too, but thats not how to think. And too all of those who are going through family members with alzheimers, Im so so sorry. I send you my condolences.

[@ladydaisy99]

I've started crying at the beginning and i can't stop

[@blumeplants]

I finally have new Daughter songs to cry to omg THE WAIT WAS SO WORTH IT, we missed you guys so much. THIS SONG IS BEAUT

[@manneianevski]

3:33 incredible acting from this man. I had tears in my eyes, feeling what he might felt in the script. Heartbreaking.

[@sonic-factory]

Beautiful, though a terribly sad video and song. Looking forward to the new album!

[@harrietisthename]

This is the most beautiful and heart wrenching music video I have ever seen. The message is so clear about the effects of dementia, and about how it effect everyone and not just the person suffering from dementia. Its so heartbreakingly real.

[@yadavgopal631]

Gave me chills. Amazingly haunting. I hope the rest of the album is as good. Glad to see they haven't changed their music drastically.. really excited :D

[@McKrackinSkullz]

This reminds me of how I lost my great grandmother to Alzheimers. This song speaks to the loss from the other perspective. It was a horrible thing to take witness to. It's losing someone before they pass. Such a painful way to leave.

[@Rsguide2you]

I love this song. The past few months i've listened to all your music as it is the only thing that keeps me alive. I've had too many suicide attempts the past 6 months every time with the song 'Smother* in my ears. This song is amazing i'm glad you made this and i'm happy i got to hear it before the end. - Tobias

[@carolapuddu7829]

You know when you're very very excited for a new album from a band you really really love and the you're waiting for a long long time, and then suddenly the new single comes out and it's sooo good, even better than you've ever imagined and you cannot possibly contain yourself because you're too damn moved by the song, the video and the meaning? I'm feeling this now

[@WhiteWolf.the.Artist]

This song got me through losing my Mother to Alzheimer's. Thank you.

[@mermaidvirgin8613]

Always when I'm listening to their music, I just feel underestanded like I've never felt before. Am I the only one?

[@lilly2063]

I cry every time I watch this video or hear this song, but I love it

[@primejudicator7817]

All day on repeat. The music is mind-blowing.

[@lokibier]

September 2019 still listening to this song in my depressive life. Anyone else?

[@amiemurphy6381]

I’ve cried to most of Daughters music.. never cried to this song until I just watched the video 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@WhiteSlift]

This is simply a beautiful song.

[@edwinamarie]

Always so beautiful, their music goes straight to the heart. Also, I know I'm not the only one who noticed the couple from The Wild Youth EP album cover. I SEE YOU, DAUGHTER.

[@lucasvowell8423]

She played this for the first time at Red Rocks yesterday. Very haunting live.

[@CluZee]

Daughter didn't disappoint me with this single once again. After hearing it for the first time, I knew it was gonna be another great song. Upon searching the lyrics and official video, this song indeed is a heartbreaking song. Song about the life. A person might grew old, yet the world around him still moves on, so the only he had left is the memories.. Photos.. It is always hard to part anyone from our life. Treasure the moment.
