Amélia
Mission Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Daddy says "Come and sit on my knee"
Daddy says "You're the only girl for me"
'Cause Amelia, "You're Daddy's favorite girl"
Amelia, "Daddy loves his little girl"

Daddy comes in the dark of night
Daddy say "Don't be scared, it'll be alright"
Amelia, "Daddy hates to see you cry"
Amelia, "You're the apple of Daddy's eye"

Daddy says "Dry your tears and give me a smile"
Daddy says "If you're good I'll hold you awhile"
'Cause Amelia, "You're Daddy's precious girl"
Amelia, "Daddy loves to love his little girl"

"Daddy, tell me Daddy,
Is this really love?"

Daddy says "Don't tell Mama what I did to you"
Daddy says "If you do I'll beat you black and blue"
'Cause Amelia, "You make Daddy feel like a man"
Amelia, "Daddy loves you more than Mummy can"

"Daddy, tell me, Daddy
How can you call this love?"





Amelia
Damn your Daddy to hell

Overall Meaning

The song "Amelia" by Mission tells a story of a young girl who experiences sexual abuse from her own father who manipulates her emotions using his position as a father. The lyrics begin with the view of the father as a protective figure, offering comfort to his daughter in times of distress. He tells Amelia that she is the only girl for him and that she is his favorite, which creates a sense of closeness between them. However, as the verse continues, the mood changes, and Daddy comes in the dark of the night, telling Amelia not to be afraid. He further goes on to tell her that she is the apple of his eye and that he hates seeing her cry. It becomes clear that this is not a normal father-daughter relationship when Daddy says that he will hold her for a while if she is good, which suggests that he is using her to meet his sexual needs.


The chorus reinforces the message that Daddy loves his little girl and that she is precious to him. However, there is a growing sense of unease as the verses continue. Daddy tells Amelia not to tell her mother what he did to her, threatening her with violence if she does. He tells her that she makes him feel like a man and that he loves her more than her mother can, which revolts Amelia. The chorus repeats, but with a subtle change. Instead of Daddy's love being celebrated, it is damned to hell, and the song ends with a sense of anger and disbelief.


Overall, the song "Amelia" discusses the dark subject of incest and child sexual abuse from the point of view of the victim. By exploring this topic, the song emphasizes the importance of speaking out about such abuse and seeks to bring change for a safer world.
