Caroline
Mad Sin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"shut up and swallow"
Yeah, that's what daddy said before he came in her - down in the garden shed
"now you get punished for being such sinful scum
and did you never ever say a word to any one"
CHORUS:
No one saw the terror in your eyes
Pure desperation! yeah yeah
But mom never said a word, she just took another sip
From the bottle of dirt
What about the neighbours?
They found that little girl next to the body parts Which used to be her parents
CHORUS:
Caroline, my sweet sweet caroline,
No one saw the terror in your eyes
CHORUS:
Caroline, my sweet sweet caroline,
No one saw the terror in your eyes
No one saw your anger, till you cut off his arms, Cut off his legs,
Cut off his dick with his own axe
Pulled out her heart, cut out the brains,
It felt so good and it killed the pain
CHORUS:
Caroline, my sweet sweet caroline,
No one saw the terror in your eyes
CHORUS:
Caroline, my sweet sweet caroline,
No one saw the terror in your eyes
No one saw your anger, till you cut off his arms, Cut off his legs,
Cut off his dick with his own axe
Pulled out her heart, cut out the brains,
It felt so good and it killed the pain
No One Saw The Terror In Your Eyes!
"Caroline" is a gruesome and haunting song by the German psychobilly band Mad Sin. The lyrics focus on the story of a young girl named Caroline, who suffers from horrific abuse and neglect from her parents. The opening lines of the song are particularly unsettling, as they describe Caroline's father raping her in the garden shed and then punishing her for being "sinful." The chorus repeats the title line, "Caroline, my sweet sweet Caroline, no one saw the terror in your eyes," emphasizing the absolute isolation and invisibility that Caroline feels despite her suffering. The second verse mentions Caroline's mother, who is just as complicit in her abuse by ignoring it and drowning her sorrows in alcohol. The song gradually builds to a climax where Caroline takes violent revenge on her abusers, cutting off limbs and eviscerating them. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the sense of tragedy and waste, as Caroline's violent outburst goes unnoticed and unacknowledged by the outside world.
Overall, "Caroline" is a disturbing and provocative song that confronts uncomfortable truths about child abuse and societal apathy. It offers a glimpse into the psyche of a victim who has been pushed beyond the brink of sanity and resorts to extreme measures to protect herself. The lyrics are made more powerful by the driving, aggressive music and lead singer Köfte DeVille's raspy vocals. This song is not for the faint of heart and may be triggering for survivors of abuse, but it serves as a reminder of the urgency and importance of addressing these issues in our society.
