Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Truce (page 1/1) ------ performed by The Dresden Dolls Never thought of it as a divorce song | Reviewer: Grachel | 4/2/09 I always saw it as a break up song between friends. How some people return things they gave to each other after an ending relationship the parts of the world could symbolize CDs or dining plates. To the part of "split between parents" at a certain time in most relationships when they get serious the parents are met and not all women hate their step mother's. Like everyone else I was a divorce kid but I didn't immediately see that in this song. I think too much-scratch that, not enough | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/2/09 Doesn't it sound like the "Amanda, You're telling me a fairy tale" bit at the end is from an old video or something? Like of someone saying that to her when she was young. That's what I always thought. Hmm... | Reviewer: Blah | 12/31/08 Interesting song. Although, speaking as a divorce kid (I smell a new phrase in the mix!), I didn't really feel like it was emotional in the "parents splitting up" sort of sense...in fact, I would have never guessed that her parents had been divorced if I didn't already know it. Then again, I've always looked at my parents divorce as a positive thing...sure, at the time, it was devastating, but seeing all the destruction they had caused to me, my brother, and their selves while they were together makes me rather happy that they split. I love the Dresden Dolls. I love how each song has a mix of both innocence and chaos, and this song is a perfect example of that. I relate more that I'd like to | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/30/08 That's why I love this song and half jack. My parents divorced when I was five... and lately my father has become quite cruel. I want to tear the Je- Jack part out of me... But yeah... amazing song. Astonishing... Amazing and Yes | Reviewer: Amanda | 2/16/08 In response to LieutenantLauren im not really sure but i do know that her parents got a divorce when she was young, and she didn't really like her dad after that. The song half jack is written about her father. besttt.... | Reviewer: LieutenantLauren | 9/15/07 best break-up song ever written in my opinion. Listening to this song is like going through an emotional rollercoaster. It covers every emotion. I really like this line: "And special occasions we'll split between parents Who forced us to hate them on alternating weekends" As a divorce kid, this really hit home. I was 7 years old and it was such a confusing time, and I was so upset. Then as I grew older, I couldn't stand them, but instead of facing it like most teens, I would just run away to Dad's house. I think that this emotion is something only a divorce kid could understand. The hatred and sadness, and bouncing around all the time from house to house. Does anyone know if Amanda went through a divorce in her life? Add Your New Review About The Song
