I wrote Doors to recognise the aspects of Domestic Abuse that are less talked about. When we speak about domestic abuse, we only ever think about women being affected, but this simply isn’t true. Domestic abuse affects all genders and can happen in all types of relationships. Only by raising the profile of this topic and the impact it can have on everyone, will we be able to ensure no one is trapped behind closed doors.
Isla’s song won the Public Protection Partnership and Youth Work Services Song-writing Contest in 2019 as part of their 16 Days of Action Campaign, raising awareness of Domestic Abuse.
Doors – Lyrics
He’s too scared to go home
Thinks it all makes him less of a man
But there’s no hiding from or escaping it
So why should he try to hide
From being trapped behind closed doors
Nothing to see here.
Trapped behind closed doors
He shouts in fear.
Trapped behind closed doors
He sees pain.
But he hopes one day those doors will open again.
