"Don't Blame Your Daughter" Lyrics:

Don't blame your daughter

that's just sentimental

and don't blame your mom

for all that you've done wrong

Your dad is not guilty

you came out a little faulty

and the factory closed

so you can't hold them liable

You come from an island,

you're cutting diamonds

with a rubbery knife

Your autograph is worthless

so don't send me letters

and don't mail me cash

'cause your money is no good

What's left in your matress

is holes and lack of love left

some hair from a horse,

and none of it is yours, man

You come from an island,

you're cutting diamonds

with a rubbery knife

And the song you sing today

wasn't always in your head,

the words you tryin' to say

are the ones you shouldn't 've said

they're glistenin' like diamonds,

go out and find' em

but don't blame your daughter

Read me your tombstone,

tell me you're sorry, fax me your will,

you owe me something still

Blood is like water

the bath that you poured me

has drained and it's gone,

don't blame it on your son

And the song you sing today

wasn't always in your head,

the words you tryin' to say

are the ones you shouldn't 've said

they're glistening like diamonds,

go out and find'em

The world is full of diamonds

go out and find'em

but don't blame your daughter Subscribe to Nettwerk's YouTube channel:

A favourite song of mine. It's so eerily sad. The clip shows you that. So beautiful.

Ok I'll probably get voted down for this but I think I got the idea of the vid. It was driving me nuts to figure it out.Nina's holding a seance, with men at the end, who're the fathers of the girls you see. They're each wearing their daughters belongings. The girls are the dead spirits. Showing how they died.First there's the Victorian lady who was holding the jewelry box and looking at the doll dancing longingly. Then shown she's dragging a baby crib? small bed? or child's chair? thru the woods, so I'm guessing she aborted or lost her young daughter and ran off into the woods and died. The redhead we see next is crying and sings "you can't hold them liable" and "go out and find them" (find the diamonds i.e. the things he should've said to her) and a few more lines. "don't blame it on your son" part is sung by the guy who I thought was the dad. (But maybe her brother?) I think she felt guilty for something her dad blamed her for and drowned herself with a weight and a fishing net. (Maybe if it is her brother sitting there, he was involved and wasn't told what had happened.)The blond girl seems to have been a whore. When nina sings, "Some hair from a whore's" the first time, the camera focuses on the blond who looks ashamed. Also just by how she's dressed, bleached blond, and they made sure to show her stockings. And she's riding in a carriage that's black and looks suspiciously like a coffin. You can't see the driver's face, so I'm guessing she was killed by a random guy who paid her for sex, and got shoved in the car knowing he's going to kill her. She is able to scream for help by rolling down the window-(1:30) of the car. But I think he quickly turns around and chokes her. she looks like she gasps for air @ 1:42, and puts her hands around her throat like she's trying to pull something off her neck. and the window is still open (1:44).The hostile girl in black with thorns, reeds (?) around her neck seems to have been a witch. (?) I thought at first it was rigging rope, but it can't be since rigging doesn't stick out like reeds. I have the hardest time figuring out what her story is. What's around her neck @ 0:41? Some kind of fishing gear? And why is she always looking so mad? What's with the black everything, strange dress thing and no makeup? Here's what I think. She's a witch, with wooden reeds around her neck. She goes out in a boat. The red moon is an ill omen and there's a storm going on (lightning flashes). She's shouting and looking for someone, probably her dad from what she sings. "go out and find them" (words he should have said) is whispered by the blond spirit to the witches dad since witch is still angry and won't talk to him. So I think she went looking for her dad in a storm and got lost in it, but didn't tip over since she kept whatever was on her neck.And Nina? Her story is tough. Seems like she is or was at some point a like 1940's or 50's nightclub entertainer. (The sparkly white dress, the outfit she wears at the end, and the table she spins on) Or is just channeling her. It could be nina's the mom or the daughter. I think since she's next to a river with her skirt hiked up laying in the grass, she got raped? or just went in the water, idk. The place she is is very romantic-water, moonlight, lightening bugs and a harp (1:24). So maybe she had a romantic rendezvous that went wrong? Since she stares at the water, and stays near it, maybe that's how she died. Either way, I think the gathering of the girls' spirits @ 3:05 shows each person in what they died in. But if that where true why doesn't she (nina's spirit) wear the same white dress? grrr.

Don't Blame Your Daughter or Your SonTop Comments From Youtube:You know..Song writing is astonishing. How, who, and what inspires someone to come up with words like this. Even if this was a personal situation for the writer, just to be able to have the inspiration to sit down and write this is nothing more than a gift. Well done.

It seams that most of the fans are not sure what is the song all about. Long time ago there was a Q&A part on their website. I wasn't sure what inspired the lyrics, so I asked and Magnuss explaned that it's about the idea that each individuall is responsible for their own happiness.
