Discover the story of the song > Pa – Doe Maar

The song is about the protagonist talking to his father, who is now old with white hair and wrinkled hands. The protagonist tells his father that he didn't become what his father wanted him to be, but he's doing things his own way with his eyes closed. He also tells his father to accept him for who he is because he's still learning and figuring out his place in the world. The chorus repeats advice on how to behave properly, but the protagonist emphasizes that he's not following those rules and is doing things his own way.
