Not Your Seed
The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not that tween that you drove here for
I′m not your girl anymore
I overtook her body with an infectious spore
You left me out of your sight for one second
And look what happens, nightmare time
It's worse than you could imagine
Just alien invading minds
No more family vacays together
'Cause your only daughter′s under the weather
And if you actually paid attention to me
You′d see, I'm not your seed
I′m not your angsty teen
No matter what you believe
The apple's fallen far from the tree
It′s not my fault anymore
No more curfews to be late for
It's not my fault anymore
No more being worried and waiting by the door
Did you know that I wanted to live with you?
(Look what happens, nightmare time) O-ooh
When you needed to fight,
You gave her that too
(Aliens invading minds) Ah-ooh
Did you know mom let Deb sleep over?
And you′re right about Deb, she's a hardcore stoner
And if you wonder what lead your daughter astray
Well, daddy wasn't here to say
Not your seed
I′m not your perfect teen
I′m fucking seventee-en
At least I was before you left me
Why does it hurt to love you?
Why am I in pain?
Why does it hurt to know you?
You'll let me down again
If I turned my insides out,
Would you even know that I was there?
Why does it hurt to love you?
Why does it hurt
To love?
I′m not your seed (Not your girl, not your girl)
Now maybe you'll listen to me (Listen to me, listen to me)
I′m sure you'll let me bleed (Let me bleed)
Not at all your seed
′Cause I'm not your girl anymore
The song "Not Your Seed" from The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals cast is a powerful ballad that portrays a strained father-daughter relationship. The lyrics speak of an angsty teenage girl who is no longer a child that can be easily controlled by her father. She has grown up and taken control of her own life, and her father needs to acknowledge that she is her own person with her own choices and decisions. The chorus, "I'm not your girl anymore, I overtook her body with an infectious spore," suggests that the girl has undergone a transformation, and her father needs to accept her for who she is now.
The verses speak of rebellion, where the girl talks about how her father left her alone for a moment, and she has now been taken over by an infectious spore. This could be a metaphor for how she no longer follows her father's ideals and has become her own person. The lyrics also depict the girl's frustration in not being heard and not getting enough attention from her father. She talks about how he keeps blaming her for things that are not her fault, and that she is not his perfect teen as he believes her to be.
Overall, "Not Your Seed" is a powerful song that speaks of the importance of accepting others for who they are, especially children. The girl has grown up and taken control of her life, and it is time for her father to realize that and let her be her own person.

Not sex and not drugs
The situation is not caused by typical teenage behavior
Just alien invading minds
The cause of the problem is something much more unexpected and unexplainable
No more family vacays together
We will no longer be going on family vacations
'Cause your only daughter′s under the weather
Because I am not feeling well

Did you know that mom allowed my friend Deb to stay the night?

Why am I in pain?
Why do I feel so much hurt?
Why does it hurt to know you?
Why is knowing you so painful for me?
You'll let me down again
I know that you will disappoint me once more
If I turned my insides out,
If I were to expose my inner thoughts and feelings
Would you even know that I was there?
Would you even recognize me as a person?
Now maybe you'll listen to me (Listen to me, listen to me)
Perhaps now you will pay attention to what I have to say
I′m sure you'll let me bleed (Let me bleed)
I am certain that you will cause me further pain
Not at all your seed
I am not the child you hoped for
′Cause I'm not your girl anymore
Because I have grown and changed beyond the young girl you once knew
