lyrics below..
"Child I Will Hurt You"
Keep them locked away
Reduce them to strays
Clean their cuts and scrapes
Mercy we abstain
Hope you're entertained
Snow covers the stain
Forray forever
Taught them with solace
They know a soft caress
To lower your defense
Hide all that you could
Done for the greater good
It's later understood
Forray forever

![Crystal Castles - Child I Will Hurt You [Slowed & Reverb]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/XNfUyCvm0O8/mqdefault.jpg)
My first impression of the song in the context of the sound, title, and lyrics is that it's a lullaby. Musically, it sounds like a nursery song, something to put a baby to sleep. A parent is singing to their kid, "Child, I will hurt you." But not intentionally. The parent is so loving and protective that she will inadvertently hurt her child. "Keep them locked away," "Clean their cuts and scrapes," "They know a soft caress," "Done for the greater good." Parents shielding their children from the world, leaving them unprepared to face it on their own.
Beautiful Interpretation
or the mere fact that putting someone to the world will inevitably hurt them
Wow, you summed it up perfectly.
nope nope too deep for me
@@aidenstclair715 had nothing to do with the comment.
most underrated crystal castles song
their songs are literally poems
that's what songs are
I cry at this song. Not because it's sad. It's just full of emotion.

I be in my feels to this song omfg
@@u64qc8yxtsyn2 Are you doing okay, or are you just trolling? Crying and having emotions is normal and healthy
@@u64qc8yxtsyn2 what?
@@u64qc8yxtsyn2 ah yes, emotions are cringe.
This is the song that I want to hear the last minutes of my life.
this song makes you sad man, even if you are so happy. i wouldn't want to die sad...
Aleksandër Halfaxa Is the song that i listen before sleep :) kisses
I feel peace with this song. Not sadness
I'd rather hear Sid Vicious's version of My Way. Go out with some attitude!
gay id pick gummo
idk why but this song reminds me of the scene in the movie edward scissorhands when she was spinning in the ice shavings he was sculpting and it looked like it was snowing.
your description was perfect.
The moment I heard the tinkling tune I thought of edward scissorhands!!
That's crazy....At times when I've laid down, relaxed and listened to this song, that same exact scene from Edward Scissorhands came to mind!! And the love between Edward and Kim before Kevin came and ruined everything. Love the melodic sound to this song...
they must be listened to back to back then Edward Scissorhands-Ice Dance
oh my god yes im gonna cry
This song makes me think of a group of people looking up at a sky full of meteors showering down on a dark clear night, coming to the realisation that they're all about to die, but still dumbstruck by the beauty of the shootiing stars.
That's really beautiful.
Damn
Like in the Bible
you couldn't express it better, congratz man.
That's beautiful...i can only imagine. A talented writer/narrator takes you there. You have that ability
whenever i listen to this song it makes me reflect on my abusive mother and my utter fear that I will end up hurting my future children as part of the cycle haunting song
You’ll be okay
You’ll hurt their eyes if you don’t use grammar.
@@angusbeef5259 who pissed in your cereal dude?
just dont have children
felt that shit bro.. She said we'll be talking to a therapist soon since I still havent gotten over everything that happened so long ago.. I guess its a step in the right direction and closure for both of us, it could be worse I guess. But she fucks up one more time now that I'm at this age and I swear she's never hearing from me again
depressive in a beautiful way
Right
yeah.s.
I love how the very few songs that crystal castles has which are very....heavenly, like tell me what to swallow, turn out to be the most meaningful.
and note that they are the last ones on the albums!
It's funny how this song has one of the most violent titles in my opinion and it sounds like one of the softest and gentlest. Probably not meant to truly be like that but interesting
If this isn't played at my furneral I ain't dying, simple as that
paha mood
😋😂
So hauntingly beautiful. Dangerous even.
Had a guy hold me to this song.
Most amazing feeling I've ever had.
Thank you Crystal Castles.
This song reminds me of how bad I mistreated myself in the past years and how I actually hurt my child self at the same time without realizing, she's probably still somewhere around in there. I can't help but feel bad after all, because she didn't deserve any of that, and the title of the song portrays my situation perfectly. Every time I listen to it, I feel like my present self is talking to my inner child and is warning her about what's bound to happen. In any case, it's a really beautiful song and I am at loss for words every time I listen to it, it gives me a sort of nostalgic feeling mixed with regret but also makes me feel like I am in the safest place on earth, someplace where nothing can get you.
I feel the same
Knowing that is the first step to healing your inner child, so consider yourself blessed. Most people dont realize that the inner child is a real thing, and it's sad. Your inner child needs to be nurtured and cared for, needs to be loved, so you can truely love every part of yourself and grow. Ignoring that voice can lead to the path of self destruction that far too many people follow. Stay strong.
I did the same thing growing up was really harsh because of so much emotional trauma i endured
All parents harm their children, trying to protect them from the harsh reality of the world.
??????????
@@bonnie9532 Think they mean something like parents hiding their children from reality. Not being fully honest about the world and leading the kids to be hurt by the truth as they grow up?
@@cennamonzimt but hes sayin anyone that harms their kids is just trying to protect them ignoring the many child abusers
@@bonnie9532 Doubt he was. It's 5 years ago so we can't exactly expect him to respond with what he means.
@@cennamonzimt yup probably had good intent but bad execution
not that anyone cares but I always cry to this song...
Katie love you’re not alone.
I care, its made me cry on more than several occasions
me too
cringe dude
@@u64qc8yxtsyn2 true
I always imagine gazing at stars while this song plays. Hopefully one day I can go somewhere where the light pollution isn't too bad, and I could see the Milky Way
Hawaii is the best place in the world for stargazing. The air is so clear there. Lying across the sand, feeling free and staring up at the great beyond... Truly beautiful.
I've only seen the Milky Way once in my life, lying on the beach in complete darkness. One of the most breathtaking and sobering views I've ever seen. It's definitely worth it.
undertakerfreak1127 hellew!
We all will, one day.
Alastair Gilfillan shhh god is dead and we have killed him, only sweet release of the cold void will set us free
This song has such a sad feeling... It suits me.

my grandmother has a painting in her house, hanging on the wall, when I was a child, I spent hours looking at that painting, imagining what it would be like to live in that world. this song made me feel, It made me feel present in that painting scenario..
i love this
crystal castles music makes up the sound track of the life i wish i lived.
i listened to this while i was on my way to my grandfather's house after he had passed and it will forever stick with me.
On all their albums their last track was always different from the rest of the album and had a song like this, and this is for sure my favorite out of the 3 album closers.
So much deep messages in this song
This song gives me the memory of when I was a kid and saw snow for the first time falling from the sky and covering everything around me into a thick icy blanket. I also remember sticking out my tongue to taste it. Such a good song..gives off a peaceful relaxing vibe.
I hug and dance under the moonlight with my best friend to this. In my mind.
I've been looking for a song that sounds like my childhood nightmares.
this songs reminds me that I will never be a child again and every single moment of my childhood has formed my present self, and there's no way to change any of that... sucks man
All downhill from here
try meditating
My song as I draw my last breaths.
I hope you're still alive o.o
Mina Ap. By outward appearances,yes.
Vince B. Poetic c:
Minnie Ap. Another day,another night,darkness all around
Vince B. what I've found out, in this timecycle we call life, is that when darkness is all around, it's just and only then where and when you can see things the clearest and we must all project that vision in the outside world cuz it's too pure and sacred to let it haunt us in our skulls.
Easily the most endearing song they've ever recorded. I did not expect this from them! Definitely the best song from III.
This song is really beautiful. I'm almost in tears. It's sad in a sort of.. everything-will-be-ok way. It makes me think of how hard life is, how much it hurts... yet how much we can really hold onto. Things that give us hope.
"Child I will hurt you" is my soundtrack of dreaming, every night I listen to this song and I feel so calm, quiet... Love you, Crystal Castles, pure love.
hide all that you could
done for the greater good
it's later understood
this song reminds me of when mother deers will get so worried and stressed about thier newborn babies that they will groom them over and over again until the baby is almost bold and bleeding, unintentionally hurting their child because they wanted to keep them safe
what the fuck, i can never listen to this song without wanting to cry. it makes me feel like i'm living a tragic life that i'm not. makes me feel almost mad with sadness, how the hell can a song evoke such feelings??
por que que essa música está tocando em um momento tão delicado como esse que estou tendo agora?perfeito,,essa melodia tão calma,,deixou tudo mais leve.momentos de desabafo e ajudas..simplesmente,,perfeito.
I want to listen to the part at 1:34 for the rest of my life.
same , may i die while this part is playing on loop
i heard 134 is some sort of angel number once. it feels fitting.
Beautiful song when you watch snow falling
I love the melody so much, this song is so amazing ❤❤
If it were Grimes, it'd have a ton of sampling and extra stuff going on. This is a very straight forward ballad to me, reminiscent of "Tell Me What to Swallow" from the first Crystal Castles album, but more concise and focused. It really shows how much Alice and Ethan have grown since '08.
The best song of this album . I'm happy o discover crystal castles :)
If anyone wonders, the photo shown here is from World Press Photo 2011, showing a mother taking care of his son suffering from wounds caused by tear gas used against him in a protest in Yemen
This song sounds like Christmas
merry christmas man
@@jonathan1849 merry Christmas to you too
@@jonathan1849 Merry Christmas!
Magical..
Straight up. I remember looking through my truck window listening to this song. Gotta be real. This song reminds me of Xmas.
well...i'm suppose to write an essay about a song with symbolistic meaning, and how the song can easily be taken out of context. Totally found it. Thank you CC.
memories of my adolescence ❤️🎶🎶
This is one of those songs that I don't know whether to feel happy or sad. Beautiful.
Always hits hard.
So absolutely beautiful
This song feels like dying in the snow
2:47 still sticks with me after all of these years
My favorite song.
cannot and will not stop listening to this song. scary how addictive it is.
I miss her.
I don't know why, but when I first heard this song everything just kind of froze. I imagined myself in an empty playground looking up at the clouds drifting by... Everytime I listen it makes me feel totally nostalgic.
Beach house vibes 🖤
so pure and full of beauty
I remembered my dream for the first time in three months after listening to this song before I rested.
This song is beautiful. Love the lyrics
Are you alive ?
FINALLY. 6 YEARS I'M LOOKING FOR THIS SONG. I'VE LOST THE TRACK ON UA-cam. 😭
I get overemotional at everything when this song is playing, and I'm crying right now because it just brings back so many good memories. It's unreal.
Simply the most beautiful thing ever! Mesmerising and captivating. I wasn't expecting sth like that from CC but it's just amazing!
This song remembers me to my mom. I know she was unprepared to be a mother, even she wanted to be one. I love her, but, she wasn’t mature enough to deal the development of a child in a third world country. She was overprotective, she judged me because I was different to her and the rest of people, she wanted to control me with her contradictions, and being emotionally neglectful sometimes. But at the same time, as a mother do, she sacrificed many things to keep me alive, and even slowly changing her attitudes towards me. She still doesn’t understand me, but at least, she tries to be better nowadays. She had to let me experiment a little bit more, and let me do more things. Basically, letting me being myself.
Of course, I’m not perfect either. I need to deal with trauma and my diagnosis(ADD, autism, depression and anxiety), but at least, I know that nowadays I don’t have to worry much about this relationship like before.
This song is just perfect
A really touching song. It just takes me away & I love it for that.
It sounds like angels singing......
One of the most beautiful and underrated songs I have ever heard
This is the most beautiful song ever.
still think so? even after 8 years
I prefer your music sidewalks and skeletons
