For You

The speaker addresses their parents as a child who feels unheard and emotionally hurt. They want help and attention, but describe a relationship marked by silence, insults, and a lack of respect for their choices. The repeated lines about being trapped in their own head and remembering what was said suggest that these painful exchanges keep replaying. The emotion grows from a plea to be noticed into anger and blame.

“Locked inside my head” is an image of feeling isolated with one’s thoughts, unable to reach someone who might help. “The silence gets us nowhere” means that refusing to communicate prevents the relationship from improving. The speaker’s question about turning up their “screams” is likely figurative: they are asking whether they must make their distress more intense before their parents will hear it.

The lyrics present the speaker’s feelings, not an objective account of every family interaction. Their statement that they are “fucked up” because of their parents expresses deep hurt and assigns blame, but it does not establish the full cause of their struggles. The song can be heard as both a demand for accountability and a desperate request for connection; whether reconciliation is possible remains unresolved.
