Little Girl
Her Personal Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Little girl downstairs
Outside a man is waiting
He knows she's there inside
Little girl downstairs
Little girl sits down
The man outside comes in
He knows the lock is open
Little girl's afraid
Man opens mouth and laughs
He knows that she is frightened
The numbing conscious facts
No! this isn't happening!
The numbing conscious facts
Doesn't anybody see?
The moment here is frozen
A chill is felt within
The scream rings out in silence
As her innocence is broken
A shadow came and took her
He knew just what to do
He stuck his weapon in her
Saying oh little pearly dirty girl
The lyrics of "Little Girl" by Her Personal Pain tell a story of a young girl who is in the wrong place at the wrong time. The song is about a predator who preys on young girls, and the little girl in the song becomes one of his victims.
The song begins with the little girl in a restaurant, followed by the man lurking outside waiting for her. She goes downstairs, and the man enters the building because he knows the lock is open. As he approaches her, she realizes she is afraid, and he begins to laugh because he knows he has frightened her. The girl's conscious mind becomes numbed as she realizes what is about to happen, and she wonders if anyone will hear her scream.
As the predator defiles the little girl, she feels like time stands still, and the moment is frozen. She screams her innocence is taken away from her. The predator knew what he was doing, and he used his "weapon" to defile her, leaving her violated and scarred emotionally.
The song paints a heartbreaking picture of the trauma of sexual abuse and the ways in which it can happen to anyone, regardless of their age or circumstances.
