Daughter - Doing The Right Thing Lyrics

Can anyone explain to me what's the storie behind that blue bag and why did the old man left it in the shelter store

Kaki king - doing the wrong thing one after the other in the playlist

This is too real to be music

Daughter a masterpiece fuckkk

i love this song but i truly cant bear to hear it all the way through. It's beautiful but I can't do it. Breaks me.

140ak-238aw

Wow why didn't i find you before?? Your voice is like an angel

Love this!

I saw an interview where the band mentions that Elena is exclusively writing all the lyrics for their songs. I can't imagine what her private thoughts are like, to be able to so consistently evoke feelings of sadness and despair...

this song, lifeforms, shallows, and smother is the most beatifully haunting songs I ever listened

Perfection ❤

Oh my god my eye crying right now T^T

I remember avoiding this track from the moment I found out about it (1 year or so). I watched Numbers on a loop but not this one, knowing this one will be a sad one.

I gave up resisting sometime ago and found I was right. But still beautiful

Didn’t I see that bloke in Jonny English??

Who from 2019 and listened to this song

who isn't

There's a connection with "How"!!!

Let us all die in one go.

This song gives me courage for a big acceptance

September 2019 still listening to this song in my depressive life. Anyone else?

sex lsd trip and after i did cocaine and 10 bongs of marijuana...333 love god angel daugher elena my love i want to kiss you so much and this is for sure the best moment in my life here and now

Does anyone know a song out there in existence that's sadder than this one? Because I've searched and searched and I've yet to find anything that even compares.

I thought not even a movie can make me cry but now a song is doing that..😥😥

I want more music i listened To them a million time 😢😢

I just discovered Daughter this week and I’m loving them. Got to listen with headphones and turn it up loud though.

I remember I used to not like this song, but told myself I'd come to this. Somehow I knew someday I'll like this song.
Now that I gave it another try, I wept like a child.
This is hauntingly beautiful.
It makes you ponder of things- of life.
It is a scary feeling. But it reminded me, that I can still feel.

I can not thank you enough, Daughter. You make me feel things I did not know I am capable of feeling

This shit fucking slaps
Perfect for a sake filled bedtime QQ
I love Daughter
Fucking HELL MAN FFFFFF :'''''')

2019? This song is great

Everytime im here

jakie smuty....

This song’s lyrics perfectly suit Eleven’s mother from stranger things

Grubu Youth adlı parçayla tanıdım. “Sanat işte tam olarak bu” dedirtti bana. Hem de öyle zor öyle karanlık günlerde yanımda olmuştu ki şimdilerde yeniden dinlemeye korkardım. Ama bakış açım neyse ki değişiyor ve bu ön yargımı kırmayı başardım. Daha sonrasında ise yakından tanımak istedim, diğer şarkılarına kulak vermek istedim. Youth’tan edindiğim fikre göre gerçekten anlam dolu şarkılar yapmaktaydılar. Cezboldum adeta. Bu klip, bu ses bu ritim galiba benim en yakın arkadaşım olacak. Bu grubu hak etmeyen kimseyle tanıştırmamak istiyorum. Oldukça etkileyicisiniz, keşke her birey o denli derine inebilse...

I’m a CNA in a long term care facility and this speaks to me so much

There's just something in my eye... Oh, it's tears.

Almost 4 years on from the release of this track (and video) and I'm still greatly affected by it. I can't even think about the lyrics to the second verse without my throat tightening and my eyes filling up.

Beautiful and heartbreaking.

I was sitting alone at night browsing on YouTube and by coincidence I find this group and now am a big fan

💜👍

I understand the 827 dislikes here because of the fear of losing someone you love... Great song, great video!

Person I love wants to leave me because I cannot bear children. I feel these lyrics on whole another level.

This was incredibly upsetting.

This song makes me sob everytime. My grandmother was exactly like that at the end of her life, watching TV all day, and incoherent when she would talk, upset when we had to tell her that her mother was already dead. Now my dad is showing signs of the same disease, and since I take after him to a T, I know it's just a matter of time before I lose my children and lose my love to Alzheimer's. I wish they could find a cure. I hated that my Grandma never knew who I was, that my kind and patient father is becoming angry and short-tempered as he knows he's forgetting things.

Garbage

Why not give more constructive criticism?

I have not got the time or energy. Sometimes less is more

@Mark Matthews Not in this case I'm afraid.

@Mark Matthews If you don't have the time and energy to elaborate, your opinion is worthless.

I remember being 16 years old. Don‘t know why but I was begin to feel like an old and lonesome man who had already lived the best of his years. This feeling would intensify as time was passing by. Now I‘m 30 and lonelier than ever and the last few people of importance will soon begin to pass away. I don‘t know if i chose this life of suffering but maybe I didn‘t choose to change it.

Why must you hurt me this way...

Im not sure if Daughter is killing me or keeping me alive . So many feelings. I feel too much and not enough is the melody.

Yes, almost 4 years later this song still makes me cry! Elena and the others don't even know how huge and important they are to some people, talking for myself... They were the string that held my life! Thank you. ''If you leave, remember not to disappear.''

I can't listen to this piece and not cry. With the video, it's simply heart shattering

Awesome musik..

I didn't much think about this song being about Alzheimer until I saw the video.
I was more fond of the idea how this song goes with the main theme of screwed up past and how you passively suffer under all these painful past memories (let the pictures soak). Similar to how daughter portrayed this kind of pain in their song Youth.
This song is just going one step further in the stages of despair and broken life.
The apathetic uttering of "Then I'll lose my children, love" only makes it more clear, that the feelings earlier expressed are vanishing away. How through all this pain, you get numb for any kind of feeling and just sit there in silence.
This song symbolizes heart break over the past so perfectly, that even after the smug feeling in the beginning of the song of "and they're making children with their old excuses" you suddenly have the reveal of how broken of a personality you actually are, you go outside and then the reality dawns on you, you cry for your mother.
You try so much to revive your alive self of the past, that you go out and see how nice the sun feels, but there are still so many things that make you dead inside.

Guess every song has a different meaning for everyone. And I see how my opinion on the lyrics only reflects my situation. Funny.

Just amazing, breathtaking

Lol, ASMR and the music cause me an aergasm

AWESOME VIDEO! ♥

2:50 wild youth Easter egg! Look at the couple's faces

I'm so fucking crying

I loooooove

Breaks my heart...

It's amazing how much of a resemblance there is between Elena and who I assume to be her mother or grandmother at 4:13. I teared up when i saw that picture...okay I was crying the majority of the song but it hit me hard then. 😢❤

Reminds me of "Requiem for a dream" movie

Damn, sitting here, filling out my tax return forms...

What's the name of the B/W film(s) running on TV in this video? I remember seeing some of those very excerpts used by Bell Witch in the visuals of their so unspeakably beautiful "Mirror Reaper" concert.

This song made me cry

My mother passed away last summer - I got a call from the dad with the news a mere 43 minutes after I spoke to her before I left for work. That July day started great, I'd just returned from great vacations, and then it plunged into hell. I had to take care of the logistics, and it seemed bearable, but now, half a year later, I keep replaying it in my head, and this song is a kind of therapy to let myself unlock that hurt deep inside and cry while no one sees, because I'm supposed to be fine and over it by now, and I'm not, and the world is so much bleaker and emptier now.

I relate to this. This song unleashes the deep sorrows within me. It's good to let it out once in awhile
I feel you stranger.. I really do

Best song and video combination ever!! Very underrated band

2:56 his "wild youth ep"

4 years later and am still here...

Caralho...

"Cause she's already gone" always makes me cry, I hope I never lose any of my parents, this song makes me imagine how I'd feel and appreciate them more. I hope I die first or something and never feel that way.

4:31 The love of my life😍😍😍ELENA💙

Letras cantables en español, en caso de que alguien las quiera.

Ellos hacen niños
Por hacer amor
Usan sus excusas
Nacimos para reproducir
Pero me conforta
El estar sola
Solo temo que pronto voy
A ser insana

Y perder mis niños
Y perder mi amor
Y quedar mientras
Los imágenes
Salen la televisión
Y remojan en mí
Pasan por mi cabeza
Y desvanecen después

Y entonces quito mi ropa
Para dar un paseo
Porque hace buen tiempo hoy
Y me gusta como siente el sol
Y cuando se oscura
Llamaré en la noche para mi madre
Pero ella no responderá a mí
Porque ella ya ha ido

Y eso no me dirías
Sabes que me duele oírte decirlo
Y sabes que en esto no haces bien
Claro que sabes que no haces bien

He perdido mis niños
He perdido mi amor
Yo quedo mientras
Los imágenes
Salen la televisión
Salen la televisión
Salen la televisión
Salen la televisión
Salen la televisión

Todos hacen niños
Y enamoran
Estos imágenes
Remojan en mí

This is the saddest but also the most beautiful song of daughter... Makes moments special everytime

Great song love it

Daughter 绝了 太喜欢🖤🖤🖤

I can't help but feel that in the last days of my life I'll relate to this and that's so sad but I find it beautiful someway, 'cause I' ve related a lot of my favorite band songs.

Is it ok if i cryed cuse i cry flr everything

02:56 mmm reference game too strong...

I hate this world and the pain that comes with age

this video made me cry so badly

I couldn't watch whole thing, I have enough of my depression

Can anyone explain this video to me? I’m a little confused

I can relate to this song even though im still young... does anyone relate too? please tell me im not alone.

her voice is like medicine

And they're making children
And they're making love
With their old excuses
We are built for reproduction
But I find it soothing
When I am confined
I'm just fearing one day soon
I'll lose my mind
Then I'll lose my children
Then I'll lose my love
Then I'll sit in silence
Let the pictures soak
Out of televisions
Float across the room
Whisper into one ear
And out the other one
Then I'll take my clothes off
And I'll walk around
Because it's so nice outside
And I like the way the sun feels
And when it's dark
I'll call out in the night for my mother
But she isn't coming back for me
'Cause she's already gone
But you will not tell me that
'Cause you know it hurts me every time you say it
And you know you're doing the right thing
You must know you're doing the right thing
I have lost my children
I have lost my love
I just sit in silence
Let the pictures soak
Out of televisions
Out of televisions
Out of televisions
Out of televisions
Out of televisions
And they're making children
Everyone's in love
I just sit in silence
Let the pictures soak

I guess wich is the meaning of the red dress

My grandma had a traumatic childhood. When she was 4, she lost her mother. She used to cry every time she reminisced the past.
She's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease for almost 10 years now. She doesn't remember my name anymore. She doesn't cry about her mother either.
I feel as if there's no grandma of mine left in that shell. The disease left hardly anything.
I'm so afraid it will happen to my mum.
I'm so afraid it will happen to me...

listened to this song twice today, and twice ive cried ily daughter

My friend always says how good Daughter is. He was correct

life and death and something between... we are all ashes of our own

I just cried my eyes out

Everyone says they're afraid of getting old. No, it's making more people that should have you afraid, because this cycle will keep on repeating until the last person. It's an endless loop of suffering but like she said, it's reproduction. The only way to win is to fight your instincts.

Wow guys, this is the saddest song I ever heard, are you okay?

Did anyone notice about that red jacket ? It appears in the 3 videos (How, Numbers, Doing the right thing) What does it mean?
