Seeking Strength for Protection
Feeling small and helpless in the presence of his father, the speaker recalls the fear and the need to protect himself and his family. Growing up with a father who had a dual personality, the speaker felt the urge to get strong to shield his loved ones from potential harm. The speaker's desire to build strength stemmed from the concern of losing control and becoming a victim of his father's wrath, a fear that led him to consider his father capable of causing harm. The contrasting images of his father being sober on the way to work and a different person after visiting the bar painted a picture of unpredictability and the need for protection in the speaker's childhood environment.
