Added DiffLines:
* Music/SuzanneVega's "Luka", a song very obviously about child abuse, runs with the "walked into the door again" approach in amidst claims of being clumsy and recommendations not to ask. It's complete with LyricalDissonance, since the song is very upbeat and happy-sounding until you hear the lyrics.
* There's a [[TearJerker positively heartbreaking]] song by Music/JarsOfClay about child abuse simply titled ''He'', the chorus of which ends with the line "...And they think I fell down again." [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QZ4Daq4XVM Listen for yourself]].
* Some Music/CrashTestDummies fans suspect the song "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" is really about child abuse. In this interpretation, the girl with "birthmarks all over her body" is actually badly bruised, and claims the injuries are birthmarks in order to shield her abuser.
* Never Again by Music/{{Nickelback}}: "Just tell the nurse, you slipped and fell."
* "The Sanctuary Hum" by Project 86: "My sweet one/You tell no lies/The greatest reason to be despised/But we must pretend/Your broken wrist/Just happened when you fell off your bike".
* "Once and Never Again" by The Long Blondes. One of the verses indicates that the girl to whom the song is being sung is cutting herself- 'look what he's made you do to your arm again'; which makes the line in the chorus 'you said you cut yourself whilst washing up the knives' an example of this trope.
* "Hell Is For Children" by Music/PatBenatar, a song about AbusiveParents, has the line "Tell grandma you fell off the swing".
* The 18th-century English MurderBallad "The Berkshire Tragedy" has the VillainProtagonist resort to the nosebleed explanation (a detail preserved in later adaptations such as "The Knoxville Girl") when questioned upon returning home immediately after the crime:
-->How came you by that Blood upon\\
Your trembling Hands and Cloaths?\\
I presently to him reply'd,\\
By bleeding at the Nose.
* [[Music/{{Disturbed}} Disturbed]] has a song, Façade, about domestic abuse that has the lines, "''Did she fall again? An accident? Her eyes encircled in black again''"
* The Music/{{Ludacris}} song "Runaway Love" features a ten-year-old girl named Nicole. When her alcoholic step-dad beats her up, she often ends up bruised. Her teachers notice but Nicole always makes up excuses.
* Alec Benjamin's "Must Have Been The Wind" is about a man who befriends an abused woman. She makes excuses for signs of DomesticAbuse, such as the noise being just the wind.
* "All Over Now" by Music/TheCranberries opens with an apparent case of DomesticAbuse and the usual excuse.
-->''Do you remember, remember the time''\\
''at a hotel in London? They started to fight.''\\
''She told the man that she fell on the ground.''\\
''She was afraid that the truth would be found.''
