A coincident story of a step-father gone mad
The violent details have left the local neighbourhood in schock

I still hear your voice in my mind
I still hear your voice in my mind
Such a lovely voice (na na na na na na na)
Such a lovely voice (na na na na na na na)

I barely want you here
You think I want them here?
This is my fucking house, you think that I'ma pretend here?
They ain't my fucking blood, this ain't my kin here
Don't make me slap you up again and break the limit
And this little one, he always starin' at the wall
Is he retarded or somethin'?
Or he don't care at all?
You bring that autism shit up again, I swear to God
I told you it's all in your head, you couldn't bear a thought
I told you it's not a disorder, it's bad mothering
And you don't make it any better, you just choose to smother him
And this other one, she dresses like a harlet
So don't come runnin' to me when she claims she gets assaulted
And boys is gonna be boys, so they ain't to be faulted
With bitches dressed like that it's cause they wanna be exalted
So don't give me no fucking excuses, or she could get it too
I pay the bills in here, we both know that it's never you
It's my way or the highway, so make a fucking choice
Cause I don't like the way you make me raise my fucking voice
Matter fact, I'm outta here, I need a fucking bag
The choice is yours, get it together or disappear

Such a lovely voice (na na na na na na na)
Such a lovely voice (na na na na na na na)
Such a lovely voice (na na na na na na na)
Such a lovely voice (na na na na na na na)

Why the fuck ya'll still awake?
I need some time alone
The little one is crying, the other always down the phone
You think I'm being rough on you? Well, I don't think I am
Watch me when I put you in this yoke and show you who I am
You're paying attention to me now? Now that I got violent?
When none of ya'll would move a fucking finger I was silent
I thought I had this B, and I thought that I was past it
Cause every woman that have come before you got they ass kicked
One of them was hospitalized, the other one was murdered
I made it look like accidents, cause both of them deserved it
But here we are, and I thought I have put this shit behind me
But what I'm feeling now has overcome me and has blind me
So why the fuck you're trying me?
I had to break the stroll
And since this little one is cryin I have to break his jaw
And since your daughter dressing up and trying be a whore
I have to teach her a lesson and slide up in her raw
But that can wait for now, I'm gonna finish what I've started
I told your boy to shut his fucking mouth, is he retarded?
I'm the fucking victim here, the one who's brokenhearted
The one who no one loved, who was mistreated and discarded
The one who got abused and who was beaten all his life
The one who got confused and who was bleeding from the knife
I was drugged to the mud, I was condescended
So I'ma take the three ya'll with me and I'ma end it
The cops is on their way now? Well, I ain't goin' to federal
But ain't dyin' alone so now the three of ya'll is dead too

I still hear your voice in my mind
I still hear your voice in my mind




Such a lovely voice (na na na na na na na)
Such a lovely voice (na na na na na na na)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jedi Mind Tricks's song "What She Left Behind" depict a disturbing and violent narrative of a step-father who has become mentally unstable. The lyrics paint a picture of a dysfunctional family dynamic and reveal the step-father's aggression towards his partner and children.


The opening lines introduce a news report detailing the step-father's erratic behavior, which has shocked the local community. The repetition of "I still hear your voice in my mind" and the reference to a "lovely voice" suggests that the step-father is haunted by his partner's presence and memories.


The next paragraph reveals the step-father's hostility towards his family. He resents having them in his house and shows no compassion or empathy. He belittles and physically threatens his partner, suggesting that he has previously hurt her. He also shows a lack of understanding and sensitivity towards one of the children, possibly with autism, displaying a complete disregard for their well-being. Furthermore, he blames the mother for the child's condition, accusing her of being a bad mother.


The step-father's anger continues in the following paragraph, where he criticizes his daughter's provocative style of dress. He implies that she may provoke assault and disregards any responsibility for the actions of boys towards her. He dismisses any excuses made by his partner and asserts his dominance over her and the household. He threatens to leave, giving her an ultimatum to shape up or be abandoned.


The final paragraph exposes the step-father's dangerous and violent tendencies. He berates his family for being awake and demands time alone, while displaying his willingness to physically harm them. He boasts about his past abusive behavior towards previous partners and expresses a desire to continue his pattern of violence. He reveals his intention to harm his crying child and sexually assault his daughter. He also mentions that he has been mistreated and abused throughout his life, suggesting a warped perception of himself as the real victim. The song concludes with the step-father's declaration that he will not die alone, implying that he intends to harm his family before facing the consequences.


Overall, the lyrics of "What She Left Behind" portray a deeply disturbed and dangerous individual who exhibits abusive behavior towards his loved ones. The song serves as a harsh and unsettling commentary on domestic violence and the psychological toll it can have on both the victims and the perpetrators.

on I Who Have Nothing

I Who Have Nothing - Dee Daniels - Lyrics

I, I who have nothing
And I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one
With nothing to give you but, oh

I love you

She, she buys you diamonds
Bright, bright sparkling diamonds
But believe me, when I say
She can give you the world
But she'll never love you the way
Oh

I love you

She can take you any place she wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
Oh

I, I who have nothing
And I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling, it's I
Who loves you

Musical Interlude

She can take you any place she wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
Oh

I, I who have nothing
And I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling, it's I
I who really loves you
I really
Really love you

Love you
