I was going down From Jerusalem to Jericho, Towards that cursed town, Exchanging peace for pain and sorrow.

Then the robbers came Stripped me and beat me, left me half dead. Stuck here, bruised and lame Will this wretched road be my deathbed? Can somebody help me? Does anyone care? I have an urgent need! But sadly it seems that no one is aware. Wait, a priest I see!

Descending like me. He passes by me, Then comes a Levite and does the same. I thought they would help me! They seemed to serve God and to honor His name. Religion is empty! It cannot heal me. All my wounds still remain. Her mother comforted her as loud noises and people probably scared her, and the mother protected her as best she could by "holding" her.

How anyone couldn't see the odd choice of words afterward is likely because no one 'wants' to think that. Her father "liked" her?? Cherished, or doted on, would describe a loving father. Then as she probably faces the same "out there" but she "liked" it with cute boys, drinking, and "we didn't give a damn" because life was so tenuous they lived for the moment and to hell with the consequenses but it beat having to deal with being the corner of a sick "love" triangle.

Not like the clergy would be able and willing to help. Impoverished, very pretty, and growing up in a culture which has endured centuries of harmful superstitions, political upheaval, extreme violence and practically inbred hatred between two equally oppressive religions. Most likely raped by soldiers as is common she may have decided to at least use her "assets" to make life more bearable. Did anyone care? The million dollar question. Was there anyone who truly cared for her and about what was happening in her life?

Who was there for her to talk to, or seek comfort from when her own mom couldn't find her at all? Ashamed, scared, and possibly pregnant at some point.. I'm simply astounded by these incredibly naive, overly optimistic interpretations.

What I described is most common just about everywhere in modern society these days. All thanks to the digital media constantly enticing men, and boys in puberty, to lust after and fantasize about half naked women. Thus making them unfaithful over and over till the point shame fades and true debauchery sets in. Women do not become easily aroused by seeing half naked males so no it's not the same for each gender and females suffer for this greatly!

One can tell from her poignant words, and deep emotion in her tone that she wants to know how her family felt about her, and what they thought about it all if they knew..

Also why did they let it happen in the first place!! Ondinechan on November 21, Link. Ondinechan I completely agree, why would someone write such a sad song for a fairytale childhood? Clover on September 02, Plus, the words 'does anyone care' is a cry for help. No wonder there are so many troubled and abused people around if words like this cannot - or will not - be heard.

General Comment I've heard a lot about her parents not liking her. These aren't usual terminology used for neglectful parents. They are there for her at least in that manner. There is something off. Meaning the past tense of liked me.

And the did she hold me when I was out there I think this song is in large part about the difficulty of pursuing a music career against what her parents wanted from her and how it was hard for her and her family. I think I have a bit of a better understanding of the song now.

The song is really aimed at them not us. She's referring to how it is a prominent part of her life and hints that it's the reason for the rift and how both sides are aware of that.

D'you see? D'you like me? D'you like me standing there? D'you notice me? D'you know? D'you see me? If they still care enough to support her even if they don't express it directly. She still thinks about them and she wants to believe that they care about her. She wants to be able to go back to when things were more simple, back to before this rift formed in their family.

It's also probably a reference to her siblings when they were growing up while the opening chorus was more a general focus on her whole family. She is trying to get them to remember with her the better times when they got along better. She reflects with her mother back to when she was young and her mother nurtured her and cared for her. Then she asks "Did she hold me when I was out there?

She wants to know if her mother misses her because she misses her family. She's going directly to how her father liked her cared for her and then she asks to her family and less directly to anyone listening to this song if they care. It's the only line in this song that really is for not only her family but to all of us to reflect upon to understand how things have become difficult in her life.
