John Mayer's "Daughter's" in the beginning he speaks of a young woman with insecurity. His perception of that insecurity, and his perception of young men's role. The refrain is a perception, and an interpretation of maternal, and paternal.
The first stanza of this song starts with the first hand experience of a young man who is emotionally attached, and committing to a young woman. His emotional attachment is conveyed in the line "She puts the color inside of my world."
The insecurity about her is conveyed in the line "she's just like a maze where all of the walls are continually changed." This also expresses when he gains a perception of her she quickly shuts off the part of her he precieves. His commitment is shown in the line "I've done all I can to stand on her steps my heart in my hands." until he comes to his conclusion.
The second stanza is a poigant perception of where her inescurity derives. The line "Oh, see that skin? It's the same she's been standing in." expresses a retainment of a memory. His perception and the perservation of this memory, her "skin," is conveyed through the lines "Since the day she saw him walking away. Now she's left cleaning up the mess he made."
The third stanza I interpret as his perception of young males' characteristic role, including himself, and a woman's characteristic role. The characteristics of being strong, and soldiering on are coupled with the sense that these characteristics would be lost without the loving heart of a good woman.
The fourth stanza is straight forward. Through his personal experience he has concluded that every man is the god and weight of a girl's world. This stanza brings awareness to a male role in a young girl's life. It suggests the role of a father paradigms her behavior.
The refrain of this song reverberates the maternal, and paternal roles. The behaviors set forth from a young woman should come from two caring, encouraging, and nurturing parents. So the pattern can be set forth into her adulthood.
In conclusion this song represents the importance of interpersonal relationships in early development. The roles of men, and women to children. This song fits any adaptation of the paradigm.
