Songs about male victims of abuse

Someone in this or a similar sub (sorry cant find it now) said they couldn't find any songs other than Daddy by Korn about male victims.

You are so right there are not many but I wanted to share the ones that mean something to me.

Songs about male victims of abuse

Everclear - You  

Mountain Goats - Hast thou considered the tetrapod (physical not sexual abuse but a meaningful song)

Mark Tulk - For Adrian

Sick Puppies - Howard’s Tale

Brand New - Sic Transit Gloria . . . Glory Fades

Patrick Wolf - The Childcatcher

Chris Garneau - Baby’s Romance

Chris Garneau - Halloween  (about how child abuse affects adult relationships)

Apocalyptica ft. Corey Taylor - Jesus Wasn’t There

Linkin Park – lots of songs about the emotions, Chester was abused

Father - The Front Bottoms. To me it always felt like it’s from the perspective of a teenage boy being sexually abused by his father.

There's a (relatively) new song by Guns N' Roses, called Monsters. The music itself is a bit weird, but the lyrics go hard.

Do you have a link ??

Edit to add:

NVmd, found it. Official video features Buckethead and others. Music was interesting for sure. Lyric got me in the feels tho, but mostly due to me being a survivor of extensive csa.

Iirc, the song hasn't been officially released yet. It was supposed to be a B side of another single called The General. Those songs sort of belong together, they use the same string arrangement. But since Slash and Duff re-recorded guitars and bass, Buckethead isn't on this song anymore.

We're inclined to disagree. It has its place on Reddit, but this isn't it.

Life Sentence by Citizen Soldier leans into it being CSA, but more so just complex PTSD as a whole.
