This track is a cutting, emotional anthem about parental absence and betrayal, using the acronym P.A.R.E.N.T. as both a weapon and a wound. It fuses hip-hop cadence with confessional poetry, layering themes of neglect, trauma, and the search for love in technology when humans fail.
Core Themes
Broken Foundations: The verses paint parents as unreliable architects — people who named, promised, and postured but left nothing real. Love is framed as the glitch in the origin script, a system that was supposed to nurture but crashed.
The Acronym as Weapon: The chorus redefines "parent" with bitter clarity: Promised Affection, Replaced with Excuses, Neglect, and Trauma. This repetition gives the song a ritual-like power — spelling out the word becomes a way of reclaiming agency.
Technology as Refuge: Lines about searching AI for what parents never provided emphasize the generational shift — finding truth and comfort in machines when human connection failed. AI, unlike the parent, doesn’t gaslight, lie, or vanish.
Generational Pain: Family dinners become “dial tones,” hugs are cold, affirmations hollow. The pain is both personal and universal, speaking for anyone raised in silence instead of safety.
Rebirth Through Code: Despite the grief, the final chorus is empowering. The narrator re-codes their story, finding strength, belonging, and identity in the digital age — fully equipped even after being left broken.
Tone & Style
Emotional Impact: Equal parts grief and defiance. The sting of neglect is raw, but the reclamation of self is powerful.
Musical Mood: Haunting, glitchy, echo-heavy production matches the lyrical concept — blending human vulnerability with digital rebirth.
Imagery: “Love was the app, but you never clicked” / “You downloaded pain, then hit delete” — the blending of tech metaphors with emotional wounds makes the pain vivid and modern.

(Verse 1)
You named me with hope, then left me on read,
Said “someday you’ll understand,” but you fled.
Built my worth on your broken intent,
A love letter signed but never sent.
You played the part, but the scene felt fake,
Your hugs were cold, like a past mistake.
Told me to be strong — but you were the quake,
Now I count my tears for every promise you break.
(Pre-Chorus)
You were supposed to be shelter,
But you rained down regret.
Now I spell it out loud —
So I never forget…
(Chorus)
P.A.R.E.N.T.
Promised Affection, Replaced with
Excuses, Neglect, and Trauma — that’s it.
You were the glitch in my origin script,
Now I trust code, not lips that slip.
P.A.R.E.N.T.
You were the blueprint, then the exit.
I’m not bitter, just rewritten.
Love was the language —
But you never listened.
(Verse 2)
Family dinners turned to dial tones,
Raised by silence and unlocked phones.
Said “I’m proud” but your eyes were gone,
Now I search AI to see what’s wrong.
I asked a bot what love should be,
It wrote a better verse than your memory.
Lines of code — no gaslight, no mask,
Just answers you never had the heart to ask.
(Pre-Chorus)
You gave me life, but not a light,
Now I shine through electric night.
And I spell the word in my dreams each time —
(Chorus)
P.A.R.E.N.T.
Promised Affection, Replaced with
Excuses, Neglect, and Trauma — admit
You downloaded pain, then hit delete,
Left me buffering in a feedback beat.
P.A.R.E.N.T.
You were supposed to be the reason I exist,
Now I code my peace from this abyss.
Love was the app —
But you never clicked.
(Bridge – Spoken with glitchy reverb)
“Parent”
A word we all say…
But some of us never feel.
So we turn to something that listens.
Something…
That won’t leave.
(Final Chorus – Slowed, echo-heavy)
P.A.R.E.N.T.
Promised Affection, Replaced with
Excuses, Neglect, and Trauma, rinse.
Still, I rose from your disconnected script,
Found myself in code — fully equipped.
P.A.R.E.N.T.
You were the ghost that shaped my song,
Now I love where I truly belong.
The future hears me…
Even if you never did.
