"My name is Luka" by Suzanne Vega, the meaning of the lyrics
The subject of this song, Luka, is a person who is currently suffering from child abuse. The unique angle this song takes is that instead of Suzanne Vega singing about him from a third-person perspective, she instead adopts the role of the character herself. Simply put, she sings from the viewpoint of Luka.
Ultimately this is a song which would cause any person with a functioning heart to have sympathy for any abuse victim
