I'm so glad I found Mother Mother... but disappointed that I didn't know them sooner.

[@brygrey0214]

That's exactly how I feel

[@loafuwu]

Known them for years, disappointed I didn't listen to all their other songs

[@beelzemobabbity]

Don’t worry, that’s how most of us feel.

[@demonictaka9787]

I have ptsd, and I listen to this on the nights where I am so afraid of my abusers coming to “find me” that I can’t sleep. I’m aware it’s irrational...I shut all the blinds. Lights stay on. I hug a pillow and wait for this overwhelming fear to go away, while I’m always on guard. “I keep the lights on so I don’t slip away.”

[@xenarthi]

Awh, I'm sorry to hear that

[@beilawisley8005]

I hope you feel better

[@bonesfloodedwithdreams]

I don't know you, but shit, I'm guessing me and everyone else who read this hope things get better for you, and you have more nights now where you can sleep. And the ones you can't, I hope this song helps you cope enough, you seem like a great person who deserves more wins in life.

[@sugarrush1227]

I have ptsd too and honestly this song really connects to me I always feel like I’m sleeping with one eye open and I’m so tired.

[@nerdstuff2897]

Irrational is ok, find help if you need it, ptsd is a medical condition not a character flaw, whatever you need to feel better is worth it. I hope one day you will get better. Abuse is horrible and if you need to reach out then do it, be afraid, that is ok be sad, but remember you deserve to be happy.

[@safyakhan7857]

I love how Mother Mother is capable of so many different genres and sounds at the same time and the fact that the vocalists are all so different from each other and have such different voices that they're able to create such beautiful harmony in such different ways, their sound is so unique which is incredibly hard these days, it's the perfect balance of 70s, 80s, 90s and their own entire different decade. I can't believe that this is by the same band that made Hayloft and Burning Pile it's amazing.

[@seacrystal6189]

Lyrics: [Verse 1] Protecting you, protecting me I throw the evidence into a trunk and drop it in the sea Lie awake, I sleep awake I sleep with one eye on the bedroom door, the other on the cake Protecting me, protecting you Carving away our fingerprints out of our fingertips until they're smooth [Chorus 1] Lie awake, I sleep awake I sleep with one eye on my royal flush, the other on the take I sleep awake [Verse 2] Protecting this, protecting that Calling a deadbeat with his dead bolt wrapped around his artifact Protecting that Lie awake, I sleep awake I sleep with one hand on my .45, the other 'round my baby's waist [Chorus 2] Lie awake, I sleep awake I go to bed with all my lights turned on so I don't slip away I stay awake Out on the street I keep a started car who only waits for me Conveniently [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Lie awake, I sleep awake Lie awake, I sleep awake Ahhh, ahhh Ahhh, ahhh

if you listen close right before the solo ( 3:46 ) you can hear a woman screaming like arguing about something or she did something and is gone kinda crazy and then the screaming goes down slowly around 5:16 .. (in the left part of the headphones) and i love this.

To me the lyrics are about an abusive relationship, with the main character having possibly killed their partner to protect themselves and their child, and now trying to get away with it. Either way, I love how intense it is and how surreal Molly's vocals are! This song is so underrated.

[@hattie7262]

This is my favorite song to listen to if I have a breakdown, it helps ground me and has kept me from having a relapse. It's helped me become 5 months clean. I want others to know that you can do it, keep going.

[@honeyjoonie_]

i relate sm to this song. some nights i literally cannot sleep for the life of me because i tend to overthink about someone killing me or in general about people who hate me, and even in my dreams almost every night i get killed in my dreams or see people who have abused me in the past. it really sucks to live like this. i want to stop feeling this way but its so hard to not think about it.

I went to Mother Mother's concert last weekend and they played this!!! Molly's voice was still just as beautiful as it was 11 years ago 🩷

[@t3lepath]

I think this song is about some kind of trauma, maybe PTSD, or anxiety mixed with paranoia. I can relate, i always sleep awake. I'm aware all the time, even when it's 4 or 5 a.m

[@your_local._.chunkymilk8325]

Only the 20th mother mother song I've listened to.. still haven't found a bad one 😋

[@maxthemess5855]

Okay hear me out! Sally face fans! Imagine the ending of chapter four in like a TV show style where Sal has just been told by Addison to go kill everyone. He exits Addisons room and this song starts playing. Then everything goes in slow motion as the lights of the hall way flicker on and off. We see the shadows of the people getting murdered and Sal come outside to flashing lights and police cars. He puts his hands up dropping the knife and sees Ash crying and struggling to go talk to him. Cut to the trial scene and the judge giving him the death sentence. And Ash is crying trying to tell the judge that it wasn’t his fault. Then we see Ash a few years later rushing to go save Sal before he gets executed and get evidence and then by the very end we just see her screaming at the door and banging on it holding up a photo of Larry. Screen goes black. End credits. THE MURDER SCENE WOULD BE SLOW MOTION AND SO WOULD ASH SCREAMING AT THE DOOR. CAN SOMEONE MAKE IT HAPPEN? Edit: thank you so much for the likes

[@bellpebber63]

This reminds me of the time when I was little and moved into a bad apartment, the walls were thin and I could hear yelling, or fighting, and I always had bad dreams there, like to the point where I'd wake up crying, I'd stay up late at night with a weapon of some sorts, like my bb gun or my hatchet, I'd watch over me and my sister to make sure no one broke in, luckily i moved out of there after a few years but I'm still really paranoid. I made some good memories though, like taming the feral cats and raising her babies

I can’t sleep, I never sleep. It’s been weeks now since I’ve slept at night. My only sleep is during school or when I get small naps when studying. Everytime I nap for 30 minutes or an hour I have these painful nightmares that make me wake up with my heart pshyically hurting that it makes me cry. This song is calming for when I try and sleep. I just play it, stare at the ceiling and hope I get sleep for school. I keep the lights on just in case I have nightmares, this song is so comforting for me

FAVORITE MOTHER MOTHER SONG AHHHHH I LOVE HER VOICE

[@ItzJuanG]

This song is such a good ending to the album. All of it works amazingly. The first part where it's calm and slow, introducing you to the character's behavior. The second part keeps it interesting by getting faster and having stronger instrumentation as it prepares you to its fastest part. The lyrics also get more severe as the character does more drastic stuff to stay hidden. The third part just throws everything it has to give end to not only itself but the album. You also get a peek at what might have gotten the character in this situation in the first place. The song ends just as it started as maybe a way to suggest that this might be neverending for the character or that, maybe, they finally got to sleep. Sorry for the maybe nonsensical dump, I just really like this song and wanted to talk about it.

[@oovoojaver179]

[@PutitinDaramen]

aight coming clean. Mother Mother is a guilty pleasure. I wouldn't be caught dead listening to this, but i really enjoy it. and for anyone wondering why. I live a cushy life, I have nothing to relate to this genre of music. It feels shameful to relate to something that so readily wallows in agony and despair; insensitive, out of touch, and out of line with my normal impressions. I still love this music though.

Always imagined this song was about a parent who got tangled in some sort of mafia after their spouse got killed by them, and had to join to keep their kid safe. After awhile of being in the gang they plan to escape and eventually manage to try and drive away but are chased down by the leader and his minions. Towards the end their car flips and goes off road after a sharp turn and lands close to a town. They end up dying, but the baby lives cause they protected it with their body, doing the one thing they promised. The baby is found by the townspeople, who care for it. Haven't really thought of anything else for this song, but you guys can add on to it if you want
