Wash Away Those Years Lyrics
One early morning
She showed her crown of thorns
She whispered softly
To tell a story
About how she had been wronged
As she lay lifeless
He stole her innocence
And this is how she carried on
Well I guess she closed her eyes
And just imagined everything's alright
But she could not hide her tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
They were sent to wash away those years
My anger's violent
But still I'm silent
When tragedy strikes at home
I know this decadence Is shared by millions
Remember you're not alone
For we have crossed many oceans
And we labor in between
In life there are many quotients
And I hope I find the mean
This song seems to me to be about a person who maybe had a sister or someone he lived with come home one day and tell him that she had been raped. The singer doesn't know how to deal with it so he just stays silent about how he feels, but inside he wants to find the person that did this to whoever he is speaking about in the song.
Ya, this song was inspired by a friend of Scott's who was raped..and domestic violence also. NOTHING to do with religion..."She showed her crown of thorns.."
The message isn't religious, although some imagery definitely is.
this is a fantastic song!it takes my heart out!scott has sung this song with deep emotions.........it really brings tears to my eyes..........actually this song is for scott's very close friend who was raped by a two dollar trash bag!as scott says HE STOLE HER INNOCENCE.say a round of aplause for creed specially scott!5 on the poll
yeah, this is a great song. Lots of emotion and has the power to make even the strongest of us break down.
Any one would break down to Britny Spears. It hurts when you rip of your own ears just so you don't have to listen to her. But I do happen to like this song because I was raped and Scott reacted the same my boyfriend di when I told him about it.
I love this song
this song means so much to me it describs how i felt through my childhood when my father use to do that to me. i cried the first time i heard it and i have to hear it atleast once a day. and now i dont hold bk ne of my tears.
I was sexually abused by my brother for 7 years...so at first I didn't like this song because it reminded me of it, then I realized it brought me healing, so I listen to it a lot and it's now my favorite song on the cd.
This song talks about a friend of scott's who was raped.Scott must have had a lot of friends who needed help.He had a friend who committed suicide.And now he writes songs to help people who have the same problems in there life.
