Lyrics
There is a wall in my life built by you
You opened a door that a kid shouldn’t walk through
But I’m not bitter, I’m just tired, no use getting angry at the way that you’re wired
Ignorant trauma in one afternoon.
And I could never let you know, you’d never get it
Now I’m the one who can’t let go, don’t say it’s genetic.
Is it real? You believe you’re guiltless.
Oh I can tell you believe you’re guiltless
But I don’t think I’d feel better if I opened your eyes
I’ll carry your burden ’til the day that you die.
Is it real? You believe you’re guiltless
I’ll never know why you favour that tone
Not one shred of hope so I built up my own
But I’m not bitter, I’m just tired, no use getting angry at the way that you’re wired
A dark politician will end up alone.
And I could never let you know, you’d never get it
And now I’m the one who can’t let go, don’t say it’s genetic.
Is it real? You believe you’re guiltless
Oh I can tell you believe you’re guiltless
But I don’t think I’d feel better if I opened your eyes
I’ll carry your burden ’til the day that you die.
Is it real? You believe you’re guiltless
I’m not bitter, I’m just tired, no use getting angry at the way you’re wired
(I could never let you know)
Is It real? you believe you’re guiltless
(’til the day that you die)
Bold of you to assume I don't know the lyrics by heart

yup yup yup!!!!
for someone who has survived trauma from my own parent; oh my god it speaks out of my soul and that situation I've been. thank you dodie x
I feel like this song is so validating for child trauma holders. Especially if it's emotional/verbal trauma which is usually downplayed by the abuser for years and years then we're just expected to forget and move on as if it never happened. It's a really nice feeling to know I'm not alone
@@user-ee7kb6sf5g you're not alone! :)
@@user-ee7kb6sf5g absolutely yes! I keep wondering if the emotional abuse is real, but other people keep telling me it is.
@@symphony_in_plaid4592 Emotional and verbal abuse is extremely real and can be very traumatic. Seek help if you need it! 💜
Wanheda 23 was just discussing narcissistic parents today and this song popped up. So validating!

The way that you find language that expresses a personal experience in a way that allows you to process it without giving too much away, and yet still allowing others to find meaning in your words, is magical.
Personally, I relate so much to the lyrics in relation to my relationship with certain family members.
And I know I'll always be curious about the true story behind this song, I also know how empowering it must be for you, dodie, as an artist, to be able to express yourself but keep things private.
Thoughtful comment.
this is exactly how I feel but you've phrased it perfectly
that lingering chord at 2:26 YUM
The ‘ooh’ s get me screaming YESSSS QUUEEEEEEBNBBNNNNNN
I can't believe Arthur Morgan listens to dodie
IAteNailsForBreakfast he’s a man of taste!
@@eleanor4618 he IS! Arthur listens to Dodie every day
The first lines punched me in the face and I just immediately started crying
Childhood trauma. It be like that man and it sucks
Its a strange feeling finding a song that suits you so well. Its nice but my heart hurts
@@bellzatanium8698 same, it felt so weird to find a song that described my past situation and the person involved so accurately, it felt like this song was meant for me, or people like me at least.
This song actually gives me chills, it's to relatable.
Spirit Fox72 what do you think the song means cause I can’t work it out, like the whole opening a door a kid shouldn’t walk though confused me?
@@bc6714 I mean personally I think think a song can mean something different for eveyone. In my personal experience I believe it's about an emotionally abusive parent who made there child have to open the door to mental illness or adult hood at an age that isn't healthy, then it goes on to talk about how the person doesn't feel guilt for what they have done maybe trying to justify what they have done. Hope that makes some sense
betty clark here’s my interpretation(idk if it’s right)it’s about her audience and fame. She is exposed to all this fame very young. She could never tell her audience that they’re ruining her. By praising her, they make her feel worse. But they don’t know what they’re doing is wrong.
I think it’s very similar to Burnt Out in that way.
Spirit Fox72 oh wow it makes a lot of sense when you put it like that thanks! I get what your saying that it’s up for interpretation tho
@@sydneyreed-schall4906 I dont think so. Burned Out is definitely about being overwhelmed by fame but this one is clearly about a toxic family member. "Opened a door a kid shouldn't walk through" means they caused or created a trauma for her as a child. "No use getting angry at the way that you're wired" means theres no use in fighting back because they literally think they've done nothing wrong. Whether it means they have their own trauma or mental illness that makes them blind to what they do or they just refuse to believe it what they did had a big impact on the kid at all. "Dont say its genetic" obviously means they are related and she doesnt want to be like them. "Dont think I'd feel better if I opened your eyes, I'll carry your burden til the day that you die" by bringing up the trauma you ruin the relationship so you just keep it to yourself to keep the relationship as healthy as you can make it. I find Monster closer in meaning than Guiltless and Burned Out.
hey dodie !
no chance of you seeing this, but whatever lol. i’m like so proud of the things you’ve accomplished in the past few years. you went from a teenager sitting in her small room to a powerful, confident woman. you’re singing and voice has exponentially grown in skill ! you have become one of my favourite artists, and i’m very excited to see what is to come in the future !
People should like this so she can see
i love your aesthetic so much
it’s so pleasing and relaxing
It's always seemed kind of forced and ingenuine to me.
Ik it’s amazing
@@2-d933 Really? I always thought the opposite lmao 😂
@@theneverendingstory2002 Yeah, I don't know why. I genuinely do enjoy her music and her personality, but for some reason it's always seemed fake to me. Like she's just trying too hard to get that aesthetic.
@@2-d933 Yeahh I can see where your coming from
THANK YOU FOR THIS SONG.
SINCERELY,
Everyone with childhood trauma
Damn, a song about childhood abuse/trauma? Amazing, powerful, means a lot to me
the fact that a song that’s obviously so personal can resonate with listeners in a thousand different ways.. i’m living for it, and i’m so impressed with how far her songwriting has come since i started watching years ago❤️
I say it all the time but I mean it, thank you for sharing your art with the world 💞
I-
Sadly this song is scarily relatable.
I'm not sure I understand what it's about, could you explain please? :)
@@claiir3bonn3l1709 when family hurts you and they literally can't see that they've done something wrong, no matter how hard you try to explain
That's my interpretation anyway
@@claiir3bonn3l1709 (TW abuse) I think dodie wouldn't like us speculating about her life and the specifics, she said she loves this song but is uncomfortable saying what its about.
All that being cleared up, she did say on tour that "its about when someone who is supposed to care for you and protect you f*cks you up"
The lyrics are really dark, to me its about abuse or mistreatment in some form who comes from somebody who is close to you, and there is no way of opening their eyes as to why they are being wrong or "guilty". They think they are innocent in what they have done and now you, knowing that they are not, carry the burden of their "sins". Thats my interpretation! But then again i dont see much dicussion on the meaning of this song as im sure dodie doesnt want it linked to her personal life.
To me this song is truly a real af painting as what its like to be in the shoes of someone who has been abused by someone near them. Its a dark, sad, topic, but dodie talks about it so masterfully i just love this so much
@@dianeaishamonday9125 oh okay, thank you! 🙂
Malesam couldn’t have put it better myself.
It’s so easy to forget that other people have childhood traumas when really none of us are alone, thank you for making this beautiful song and putting some of my feelings into words. All of your songs are so good, much love 💕
“ ‘till the day that *you* die”
Like you’re saying that all the walls and trauma will go away as soon as they’re completely out of your life.
You’re a lyrical genius.
Something so simple yet powerful, love it💚
Oh my.. The song is so upbeat as if it's trying to relax you even though the lyrics are so understanding of the feeling of not being heard, understood and blamed. The song knows how many headaches and tears you may have shed. Dodie is so amazing. I'm trying my hardest to not let myself cry because I'm living with the one person who reminds me of this and he's slowly changing but he's not there yet and it's hard to be patient. The line after the chorus where she says she probably won't feel better after opening their eyes shook my entire spine. The one thing you want is for them to understand and for them to change, but putting yourself through the effort and pain to get there is most likely going to wreck your mental health and ultimately not be worth it. Wow, just wow.
I had a small break from dodie but I'm so glad I'm back and so is she
I’ve never had the experience of someone singing exactly how I feel before. I could never eloquently explain how I feel with my own words but this song does such a good job of saying it for me.
Thank you for putting my childhood trauma into words.. feeling much better now x
the chorus really hits me tbh, my ex was emotionally abusive and still refuses to take accountability for it. ive cut her out of my life now but it was childhood/adolescent trauma and has really affected my ability to form relationships and trust people, especially in a romantic way. thank u, dodie, for writing this song x
dodie
dodie how did you know i was making a sad boi hours playlist
Lol same check my account its dreamland aka when sad escape to dreamland
I WAS SO HYPED FOR THIS EVER SINCE I SAW UR YT STORY AAAAA
I forgot those existed. :/
Melody Cutie Cupcakes
same ;------;
I've interpreted this song as the internal screaming right after hearing a person you love say something very homophobic.
They don't feel bad, they believe they are guiltless. You try and cover your own bitterness with tiredness, because there is no use in getting angry at how they have been wired to think. Unbeknownst to them, they've build a wall in your life. You could never let them know your secret, they would never get it. It could be dangerous, you might not feel better if you opened their eyes. But you can't let go of the betrayal and pain you feel. You feel you will have to hide and carry this pain until they die.
Ugh. Thank you dodie for this beautiful piece of art. 💙
Well, if ever a song were to remind me of my father... lol
i felt this comment
Literally all I can think about when hearing this song
I feel this in my soul!
...YEP
Felt this
I have no idea how Dodie keeps managing to produce songs about my life, but I'm living for it!!!
This song reminds me so much of my mother...wish I had the guts to send it to her and hope she understands. As Dodie said...she'd never get it, and I'll carry her burden till the day that she dies.
"I'm not bitter, I'm just tired. No use getting angry at the way that you're wired..."
Dodie you’re such a blessing, thank you for always posting when I’m feeling my lowest, I adore you x
Jo you alright? I hope you feel better soon!
Bridget I’ve just been feeling extremely upset, and a family friend passed away adding to it :( .. But I just know everything will be okay
@@joguevara7051 that sounds really rough :( I hope things pick up for you soon 💜
Black_Blossom thanks love x
Awww, I adore dodies fans. :) Jo, good to hear you are staying hopeful. I wish you all the best.
Thank you for singing about traumatic situations like this... it makes me feel less crazy. Your music continues to be the soundtrack to my recovery. Thank you, Dodie.
This is such a classic already boii
thank you for translation my emotions into words im forever grateful for you and your music
i am so so soooo happy that you released this song and like.. THAT YOU'RE BACK? YAAAAAAY
was she gone?
Emilie kinda she barely posted
your messy long hair up against the wall reminds me of 2012 dodie
I felt that
@@doddleoddle i assure you it wasnt a burn, i kinda miss the back-combed look haha
I just want to thank you so much for this song. My friend called me about a week ago, listed all the things she didn't like about me, and then said she didn't want to see me again. This song has basically become my anthem for this whole situation. I've listened it on repeat so many times, just to remind myself that I'm not entirely at fault for what happened. Just, thank you so much. Your songs really mean a lot.
That's tough! I also had a friend break up with me last week. Here's to our self esteem surviving!
Every single word of this has been my thought process on healing the past year from growing up with a father with INTENSE anger issues. My jaw literally dropped hearing this the first time because it was so beautifully parallel and I couldnt help but tear up. Thank you for this song Dodie. Its a little anthem now.
Why are all these songs lining up with my life events right now 😂😣
Omg saaaame also tove lo's song. I feel called out to leave behind a bad guy in my lif rn.
@@dreamcatcherislife2440 ya
Dude exactly!! I'm not sure if I'm just superimposing and projecting my life into any lyrics that could mean certain things. But either way: it's happening and I'm not mad.
@@crabsbelikesnap6196 dude SAME
Ok can I just have your guess snaps 😂
I have been waiting and searching for a song that encompasses how I feel about a person from my past because I could never exactly put my thoughts into words myself. This. This is it. You took the words and feelings that I didn't even know I had right out of my brain. Thank you, Dodie.
the last couple of seconds in this video,,, the favourite (2018) who
The end of that film proper freaked me out 😂❤️
the favourite was so good!
"don't say it's genetic" and the vibe of the song kind of makes me think of nature vs nurture
I never believed I could ever put into words how I feel about my maternal figures
But then you wrote this song
Thank you Dodie this song is really special to me
that ending takes my breath away, I love it so much !!! ❤️
This sounds like a difficult song to make. Thankyou
this reminds me of that one poem, the whipping
"the fear
worse than blows that hateful
Words could bring, the face that I
no longer knew or loved..."
Thank you. Needed this, to know I'm not alone in feeling like that and in having this experience.
Dodie's harmonies just keep getting get better and better. like *W O W*
i'm a simple girl
i see a new video from dodie, i click
i’m a simple boy
i see this comment, i like
The surreal feeling at the end is so perfect for the song and the feelings you have when listening to it, like a jumble of emotions and thoughts and you can't figure out which on to focus on because your brain is going a million miles an hour trying to understand your trauma. ugh I love this song so much it hurts
this autoplayed on spotify for me the other day and now im a giant fan
another way I've just felt this song is that it is so similar to what a victim says to themselves, convincingly. "I'm not bitter; I'm just tired. no use getting angry at the way that you're wired" is so achingly familiar to the constant reminding that they're "over it" that they're not bitter anymore, that the abuser is just "wired that way" even though the bottled up anger and resentment and hatred continues to build up inside. to numb themselves from the pain, they try to make it seem less real, less tragic.
I wish this wasn't so relatable... Thank you for making me feel less alone in trauma ❤
That layering is the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever heard
I screeched when this came into my notifications.
saaaaame
Thank you, Dodie, for always creating + writing songs that not only help you understand, accept and heal from life but that you also gift it to the world so others may do the same on their journeys as well. Many blessings!!
Beautiful, cathartic, inspiring. Good job, Dodie. Thank you ❤️
I don't know if you'll ever read this because you probably get so many comments that it's hard to keep track of them all, but I want to say thank you for making this song. If this is about what I think of whenever I listen to it, it makes me feel less alone in the experience. No one should ever have to go through that. I will repeat myself: you made me feel like I wasn't alone in this anymore. Thank you, your song moved me to tears.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a song that talks about this topic from this perspective, I think it’s wonderful you’re exploring a different aspect of yourself
Another great one, DoN'Tdie! A new favorite. It's hard to heal after this kind of trauma...I certainly relate.
You know a song is good when it's so touching it feels like you wrote it yourself.
at 2:40 , it’s one of those moments where it feels so iconic, & I just get overly excited!!!! LOL THE LOOP IS PERFECT
I have to admit, Dodie's music is a necessity in life and that's a fact.
I am so happy for you! What a great song!!! Literally “a bit of madness is key” ;) you made this song possibly out of madness, but created such a bop first of all, but also an opening of arms for others. I relate to this song so much, thank you.
Could not explain how much this resonated with me. Lately I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out why someone in my life does not seem to care how they affect others or feel remorse for anything they do, even when they are so clearly in the wrong. I cannot fathom someone being able to stand firm in their belief that they have done nothing wrong when it’s so clear they have. This song came at a perfect time.
I'm in class rn but I know the song by heart so I'm playing it in my head
welcome to today’s episode of dodie is perfection.
im not bitter im just tired
glad she can put my feelings into words bc damn I can’t
Watching you write is surprisingly pleasing
Honestly I love all of Dodie's music. It's always so beautiful and hits so close to home. It's like a safe space.
Whenever I talk about my issues with my parents everyone dismisses how I feel and uses the excuse that “they are you parents” and that I can’t feel like I do towards them, but I can’t help but have this feeling because of everything they have done. It’s reached the point where I’m tired of explaining myself to outsiders who don’t understand. And this song has captured an emotion I’ve cut off for quite awhile, thank you for making me feel less alone.
Well now I just have handwriting envy...
Every parent can relate to this lyric from a child. Amazing!. We nearly all repeat these mistakes despite telling ourselves that we won’t. Beautiful song, incredible lyric
my cptsd feels validated and understood. thank you.
So does mine!!
hello dodie! i have been watching your videos since probably 2013/2014 and i just wanted to say that as someone with a lot of childhood trauma and as someone who is trying very hard to still have an okay relationship with their mom after it all, this song is exactly what i need. thank u for sharing your heart with the world!
This applies so perfectly to my fractured relationship with my dad
this is so well mixed and all the vocals and instruments complement each other aaaaa
the chorus hits me like no other , you are AMAZING !! thank you for making this song
How is it you always manage to write songs that are just TOO relatable
It's such a beautiful song
omg i remember crying as you played this at your show. This is the only song I've ever heard that reflects this feeling so accurately. love this. thank you.
This song came out the day my ex tried to crawl back into my life and this is my new favorite song. ❤
I'm planning a dick apointment with my ex
@@pedofragilistico4837 inappropriate
it makes me so happy to hear dodie’s voice
I relate to this song on a far too deep level.
Thank you, Dodie.
I really love the fact that even though you're signed now, you still treat us with these amazing DIY videos ♥
Honestly the melody of this makes me want to move, twirl my limbs through the air and just become one with the sky💫💫
Been reading a few of the comments vis a vis what the song means, and I'm relating to it more and more, the more comments I read. I wouldn't call what I'm going through "trauma" exactly, and I'm not a kid, but if I use your lyrics to describe my situation, a lot of them fit uncomfortably well.
This song allowed me to just zone out from it all. Thank you 💛
I haven’t been 12 in 5 years and dodie really still dropping shit that’s HITS too HARD
This song speaks VOLUMES about my life right now. Needed a song like this. ❤ 👌🏻
Dodie’s handwriting needs to be appreciated more
parents don't get how much they effect their children. just because they created us doesn't give them a pass to say whatever they want.
my parents called me a cry baby and a spoilt brat whenever I would get upset about something minor. they taught me not to trust them. I didn't tell them I had dark thoughts until i literally had no other option.
I tried to but they dismissed me saying everyone feels bad. I attempted suicide and they still don't know about it.
I may have asd which would explain me "giving up" or "being a cry baby" I was literally over loading.
they had my teachers give a thumbs up or down every day after class. no one else in my class had that pressure.
I get panicked when the school nurse suggests calling home bc they always call me a hypochondriac.
this constant devalidating of my emotional and physical health has made me not trust myself. I could be throwing up and I still question whether I'm puting it on
parents need to become more accepting and stop emotionally abusing their kids
this hits so close to home it’s SCARY dodie really out here making songs to describe feelings i would never be able to
i love this sooooo much omg the creative dodie jumped out
Tearing up because you put this feeling into words
Also!! I’m so in love with this my goodness. Ive missed your more gentle music, it just hits me somewhere most music doesn’t. Keep up the amazing work love ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Dodie for such a simple yet powerful song. I always feel so cathartic whenever I give this a listen because little by little everyday I'm getting to a good place where I can fully let go of that hurt and pain.
I loved the song.
I wanted to write something about how i feel about it, but i could not bring myself to do it.
You know it's a good day when Dodie uploads a video to UA-cam
this song feels so brave for some reason
i’m currently fighting with my mom, who has done some pretty shitty things to me in the past without any sign of remorse (there’s one really awful thing in particular that she swears up and down just didn’t happen and thinks that I’m making up, which is.... hard, to say the least.) i’m currently a minor and stuck in this house until my graduation next year, but after that I can’t see us having much of a relationship. this song hits pretty close to home-i’m not bitter about the way that she’s treated me, because i know that she’s been treated similarly and has a rocky relationship with her own mother, but it stills hurts and it’s hard trying to understand that there’s never going to be a way to explain to her just how much her actions have affected me.
brilliant work again, dodie. your songs have been incredibly impactful so far, and this one is no different.
Wow ur just like me! U can escape next year good luck I have 2 wait but I am so happy for you truly, life is painful vary painful especially with trauma from parents I hope u have an amazing life in the future tho, listen to me no matter what do not continue the hurt to the next generation that is my goal at least we can be better so much better than them
This is..amazing as always. Thank you dodie for always delivering only the best. Now to jam to this song 24/7
