Escape The Fate - The Day I Left The Womb Lyrics






Mother, where are you today?
You took a piece of me the day you went away
No recollection nor the smell of your perfume
I took a piece of you the day I left the womb
(The day I left the womb)

Brother, put your needles down
The best thing for you is to leave this awful town
Pretty soon, you'll have kids to feed
If you see mother, tell her I can sing

Please don't worry, I am doing fine
You're much too busy to even find the time
So use your chemicals and take this to your grave
The boys you left are men you didn't raise

And daddy, how are you today?
You must be proud of the boys that you have raised
Your withered heart, and everything it's seen
Your cuts and calloused hands, you had kids to feed
You had kids to feed

Please don't worry, I am doing fine
You're much too busy to even find the time
So use your chemicals and take this to your grave
The boys you left are men you didn't raise

Escape The Fate The Day I Left The Womb Comments
  1. M.... M....

    Listening to drugs by falling in reverse and this just gives me such a down to earth story that I can relate to some. I'm the one with cuts and callouses this song mentions and the one that's been on drugs and I've had a loved one walk away from my clan. sharing those things gives hope and inspires others. I'm glad for Ronald

  2. M.... K....

    My heart breaks for him every time I hear this song

  3. h.... m....

    God damn ronnie

  4. C.... D....

    Watching this after Ronnie’s new song Drugs just makes this hurts so much more

  5. G.... S....

    I lost my mom to drugs when I was 12, left my family for her drugs and friends. I hated her for years, when I was 14 i had to move back with her after being thrown out of the place I was staying. Her & her boyfriend were still on drugs. My mom's is almost 2 years sober this August. Congratulations mother, you're doing fine.

  6. L.... A....

    My mom died of a drug overdose when I was eleven years old. I feel like she loved her drugs more than me. I wish she saw me grow up. I wish she could meet her grandchildren when I make them. I wish she was apart of my life.

    L.... A....

    Oh my god, I feel your pain. So sorry about that...

  7. E.... ....

    He sang this song flat as fuck but it works in with uniqueness of the song, whether this was on purpose or an accient it don't really matter

  8. Z.... t....

    Songs from my childhood.

  9. D.... ....

    Any tips onto how to play this on guitar?

  10. B.... B....

    For all Ronnie's family-related songs, I just switch the words "mother" and "father" to make it fit myself, lol

  11. �.... n....

  19. P.... P....

    The last word of the album is "raise". The first song on his album with Falling In Reverse is "Raised by Wolves"

    P.... P....

    I love that little detail ... Ronnie always MADE escape the fate for me ... he made mistakes but don’t we all?

  20. A.... N....

  21. s.... c....

    This song breaks my heart so much after watching the interview with Ronnie and max you really get to know the inside of his life and how horrible it was has done some fucked up shit in his life but the way he made a whole 180 change is crazy I really appreciate and respect him for who he turned out to be today

  22. k.... K....

    Im 14 again ! 21... my brother was 21 when he put the bottle down and moved to China . Now married n child. Miss him. Teaches english.

  23. A.... ....

    Mother, where are you today?
    You took a piece of me the day you went away,
    No recollection or the smell of your perfume, 
    I took a piece of you the day I left the womb.
    (The day I left the womb)

    Brother, put your needles down.
    The best thing for you is to leave this awful town.
    Pretty soon, you'll have kids to feed.
    If you see mother, tell her I can sing.

    Please don't worry, I am doing fine.
    You're much too busy to even find the time, 
    So use your chemicals and take this to your grave,
    The boys you left are men you didn't raise.

    And daddy, how are you today?
    You must be proud of the boys that you have raised.
    Your withered heart, and everything it's seen,
    Your cuts and calloused hands, you had kids to feed.
    You had kids to feed.

    Please don't worry, I am doing fine. 
    You're much too busy to even find the time, 
    So use your chemicals and take this to your grave,
    The boys you left are men you didn't raise.

  24. S.... ....

    Jesus :(

  25. J.... B....

    fucking feels man

  26. A.... R....

    This was my picture on msn messenger. Good times.

  27. C.... D....

    This tha business

  28. R.... S....

    Play toram online, and love Ronnie

  29. C.... D....

    Spencerino , put yer pokey's down the best thing for you is to not know Abomb's cheating on you . All so soon YOU got Emma's to feed . If you see Nuggy : tell her mom is a lost cause and smells of moldy cheeses and her grandfather was a marmaduke

  30. W.... W....

    This song used to fuck me up when I was 14 and it still does.

  31. a.... p....

    this song is so touching

  32. G.... y....

    The voice crack at the end gets me everytime :'( he sounds like he's gonna break down crying

  33. S.... W....

    This songs feels like a punch in the throat for anyone Whos mother didn't love them.

    S.... W....

    Saskia Wrycroft or those of them who Died young

    S.... W....

    For me it was my dad

  34. M.... ....

    When I bought this CD I discovered this song and after listening to it I couldn't listen to it again for 2 or 3 years. I love it and listen to it now but it still haunts me .

  35. A.... ....

    This why I love Ronnie radke as a musician. He's so upfront with his feelings and thoughts. As much as I love metaphors and such in other songs, Ronnie stands out

  36. J.... R....

    Dad left when I was 3. FIR and old ETF have helped me deal with it.

    J.... R....

    Mine never cared

  37. J.... ....

    this song is very different from the rest of the album. not just cuz it's acoustic but all the other songs just sound like a whole bunch of emo cliches squished together. the day I left the womb is quality shit tho. very honest and passionate song

  38. s.... H....

    Take This To Your Grave…

    Fall Out Boy!

  39. M.... _....

    This whole album is amazing 😩😍

  40. E.... N....

    Dokken is better

  41. F.... l....

    I love how he say mother then daddy because anyone can be a mother or father but it tack a good parent to be mom/mommy or dad/daddy

    F.... l....

    Felicia louisiana girl He says daddy with a regretful and disheartened tone. He feels bad he wasn’t the best person his mother wanted him to be, he grew up the way his father taught him growing up and feels nothing but regret and failure toward his father.

    F.... l....

    @Isaac Torres clearly not if you listen to the song. That has to be the dumbest take away from this I have ever heard. He is thanking his father and condemning his mother for leaving them for drugs and alcohol

  42. S.... R....

    BRS ? cadê vcs !!

    S.... R....

    oporra aki
    n sabia q br curtia o escape the fate antigo kk

  43. F.... l....

    I just found out that this is Ronnie and I have always said this song sounds like a Ronnie radke song

  44. M.... G....

    who's still listening to this in 2017? ❤

    M.... G....

    Makenna Gallo Me, and I will most likely be listening in 2050, lol

  45. O.... ....

  46. A.... G....

    one of the most genuine emotional songs ever.. I love it still and can related

    A.... G....

    Look up a band called capsize for some music kinda like this album (at least capsizes new album) Its really emotional.

    Now if you want to ball your eyes out look up hotel books.

  47. R.... ....

    it's wire because Ronnie's voice is so similar yet so different at the same time. I really love this song though even if it makes me a little sad.

  48. N.... T....

    This is the most beautiful song ever. Lol haven't listened to this since my emo days, currently sobbing

  49. C.... C....

    I love all the songs with Ronnie <3

  50. D.... B....

    D.... B....

    emo-cional rsrs

  51. A.... G....

    This song is just....THE BEST. It's literally the only song I know all the words to, I could listen to this for HOURS!!!

    A.... G....

    Oh wait, my bad. I also know all the words to Frank Sinatra's Almost Like Being In Love

  52. A.... M....

    E.... C....

    mds vc ta até aqui

  61. K.... d....

    eski tadı yok be...

  62. L.... ....

    Ronnie was better off in ETF. Either way his depressed emo shitty fanbase is gonna follow him everywhere and give him money.

    L.... ....

    Grace Gouveia it's actually about his mom. That's why is about leaving the womb.

    L.... ....

    Bethany Anne ture but I believe it's about his brother too because it said brother put your needles down. And that means his brother did drugs. And Ronnie himself did drugs once and he stoped.

    L.... ....

    Grace Gouveia its about his family

    brother put your needles down

    mother, where are you today?

    father, you must be proud of the boys you have raised

    L.... ....

    mike pk666 ^

    L.... ....

    this bitch.

  63. B.... S....

    you can hear the pain in Ronnie's voice in all his emotional songs and he physically makes you feel the pain and thats what makes him a good singer

    B.... S....

    Broken Sanity This bitch got me in my UWUs

    B.... S....

    still listening in 2019

    B.... S....

    This takes me bad to some bad memories,when I was 4 my parents split up it’s been so hard to function after that it’s okay but sometimes it’s to damn much I was in a dark place I thought about suicide daily I’m better now I have not cut my wrist in two years Ronnie made me want to live he is my role models he is an amazing artist I would never be here if it was not for him he keeps me going to help cope with my sever anxiety I draw on myself with sharpie instead of cutting my friends say that’s much better than the actually thing so I’m glad your still here Ronnie

    B.... S....

    Emo Chan I feel you

    B.... S....

    I know how he feels because I’ve been in his shoes, only it was my dad who left

  64. k.... c....

    This song, really, really, gets me. You can tell Ronnie's emotion. I miss when he was in Escape The Fate, But I'm glad he made Falling In Reverse, they're a great band too.

  65. E.... ....

    You can tell there's real emotion in this song. Ronnie is the best.

  66. A.... ....

    Ronnie does really have talent🙌

    A.... ....

    I know! have you heard him rap? he's so fucking talented at every stupid little fucking thing he does.

    A.... ....

    A.... ....

    Angeluhh you should

  67. E.... T....

    this song is so amazing you can hear the anger and sadness in he's voice its just so beautiful 😭😭.

    E.... T....

    +Eperanza Torres Yea, way more emotion in his voice then other songs of his old and new.

    E.... T....

    Yep this song made me cry, since the meaning is pretty obvious.

    E.... T....

  73. L.... T....

    Rip Anthony James Radke sorry for your loss Ronnie

    L.... T....

    😔💔

    L.... T....

    +Thomas Smith AS a fellow biker. i will continue for the fallen ones.

    L.... T....

    unseenufo I’m sure Ronnie appreciates that

  74. M.... M....

    this is my favorite song...even if it is old..

    M.... M....

    it doesn't matter if songs are new or old as long as they are good

    I like old songs more than the ones that are coming out now even if they are very old

    M.... M....

    the pioneers of this genre set the bar too high for todays bands.  I wait for the next band to try something "out there".  Ronnie's writing has always been top notch and so progressive in many aspects.

    M.... M....

    +Big Bow 777 bands in this genre I've noticed have gone straight to the synths lol. I honestly don't think, with the way the "scene" is today, you'll more than likely never hear a band of similar qualities.. all the acts and bands of today's time are all muney hungry fucks.

    M.... M....

    +Big Bow 777 lol most of the lyrics from this record just sound like generic emo shit tho

    M.... M....

    This whole album is a master piece every song is good I’ll listen to it until I die

  75. d.... ....

    Fuck, this song hits home.

  76. A.... M....

    I love this song its amazing

  77. H.... B....

    If you see mother telling I can sing.....

    H.... B....

    *Tell her

  78. D.... M....

    Ronnie's voice omfg <3

    D.... M....

    Ikr he sounds like he's gonna cry, it's beautiful seeing his emotions

  79. S.... ....

    This song is so beautiful, it needs more recognition.

  80. m.... l....

    My friend HATED Escape The Fate, I showed her this and she fell in love with them. She likes Radke, but she likes the new singer better.

    m.... l....

    Craig seemed like kind of a dick when he first joined the band like how the first album was this war is ours some people think it had to do with ronnie getting kicked out of the band, there was also a picture that etf took when ronnie was still there in a bar and, and craig took one with etf in a bar, its almost like you take all your original family photos and put your step tape your step dads face over your dad

    m.... l....

  85. P.... ....

    Ronnie is by far the best singer ever

  86. A.... ....

    Forever & always. This is my song. ♡

  87. K.... ....

    I can't say that many songs have helped me out in my life but this one really did. I can relate so much. I was so depressed and im not anymore and when i listen to this song it brings back so many memories. Damn the emotion in this song is so strong.

  88. R.... P....

    Wtf you can barely hear Ronnie...

    R.... P....

    Nah not really

    R.... P....

    I can hear him

    R.... P....

    @Logan Von Meow i can hear him pretty well

    R.... P....

    you probably had 1 ear bud on other off

    R.... P....

    yungooK. Ayy 47 on ur pic longlivesteelo​. What brings u here lol

  89. J.... W....

    You could just feel the raw emotion in Ronnie's voice :'(

    J.... W....

    @Joshua Wibbens I thought the same..

    J.... W....

    @Joshua Wibbens yes!... <3 :'(

  90. D.... D....

    I know how this feels my mother left when I was 2 to fuck other men and become a raging dunk and drug addict and my father was rarely around he use to beat me and my older brother and he's a terrible drug addict now and I drink my problems away and when I heard this song for the first time I put it on repeat and bawled my eyes out for hours on end and to know that I'm not the only one with this feeling feels like my heart tried to build itself back together for the first time in years

    D.... D....

    There will always be other people that have problems similar to yours.  If you every need someone to talk to you can reach me through my channel.  Be strong of who you are and don't allow other people's mistakes to change who you are!! *Virtual Hug* Be proud of who you are and how you allowed your past to make you stronger.

    D.... D....

    Hey, as an only child, with an older brother who passed away when he was three and I was one, and my parents divorced when I was three, I c an totally relate. I, as well, struggled with addiction and sepressing my emotions and drowning them out with alcohol amongst many other things. If you ever need to talk to someone who has been there and made it through a better person in the end, I'm all ears. Feel free to reach out to me and I'd be more than willing to help in any way possible!

  91. t.... ....

    rip ronnies brother :(

    @Patrick Stump's Fedora thank you. *tips fedora*

    @⊗ NeX Officially Leto Official Ufuk ⊗ fuck you're gay

    Rest in peace, dear Anthony.

  92. J.... D....

    Porque las canciones que hace Ronnie ahora no son como la de este album? no solo en el sentido del genero, si no en la calidad de musica, es asombroso todo este album

    J.... D....

    Te recuerdo q la música la hace toda la banda no sólo el vocalista

  93. J.... H....

    This song remains my most cherished piece of music, even after four years, when I started listening to harcore/metal etc. The album will remain my favourite for eternity also. I wish there was another album like DIYLF... But it's such a masterpiece and could never be re-created.
