- My Child LyricsTore it up again, I couldn't stop again
Let it go till there was nothing in the way
Fought the feeling then, I gave in again
Sweet surrender to an angel I denied
When you came to life I was terrified
I knew that nothing else would ever feel the same
Doubt came over me, what kind of father would I be?
I knew the time had come to stand up and be a man
To change the face of my life, your future in mind
Time to do what was right, a new beginning
The world around me died when I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why this has happened to me?
Why was it only in death, were you redeemed, my child?
No serenity within agony
Every day brings on a hundred ways to fight
Constant scrutiny, I can feel you judging me
Resurrecting every demon left inside
Her face was horrified, you struggled still alive
My only desire was to trade my soul for yours
Grief crippled me, the reaper cheated me
Left me yearning for the path I'd come to adore
To change the face of my life, your future in mind
Time to do what was right, a new beginning
The world around me died when I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why this has happened to me?
Why was it only in death, were you redeemed, my child?
My child, the world around me died when I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why this has happened to me?
Why was it only in death, were you redeemed, my child?
I pray, you were redeemed, my child
Let it go till there was nothing in the way
Fought the feeling then, I gave in again
Sweet surrender to an angel I denied
When you came to life I was terrified
I knew that nothing else would ever feel the same
Doubt came over me, what kind of father would I be?
I knew the time had come to stand up and be a man
To change the face of my life, your future in mind
Time to do what was right, a new beginning
The world around me died when I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why this has happened to me?
Why was it only in death, were you redeemed, my child?
No serenity within agony
Every day brings on a hundred ways to fight
Constant scrutiny, I can feel you judging me
Her face was horrified, you struggled still alive
My only desire was to trade my soul for yours
Grief crippled me, the reaper cheated me
Left me yearning for the path I'd come to adore
To change the face of my life, your future in mind
Time to do what was right, a new beginning
The world around me died when I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why this has happened to me?
Why was it only in death, were you redeemed, my child?
My child, the world around me died when I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why this has happened to me?
Why was it only in death, were you redeemed, my child?
I pray, you were redeemed, my child

✔️
It is first released on August 27, 2010 as part of Disturbed's album "Asylum" which includes 13 tracks in total. This song is the 9th track on this album.
✔️
When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, Disturbed's 'My Child' takes us through the parent's very emotional disasters of losing the child. Using metaphors such as 'saw that heartbeat' to signify the moment of realization and 'redeemed' to indicate a feeling of finding comfort or peace in dying, the lyrics cover loss, guilt, and the yearning for forgiveness. My child lyrics mainly express heartache, despair, love, contemplation, and anger. However, the song simultaneously highlights the importance and implications of fatherhood and duty, mourning and loss, and redemption and promise. The lyrics deal with mature subjects such as parenthood, death, and existential queries about life and death, thus making them unsuitable for kids below 13. The song's emotional power and allusions to death and personal battle make a PG-13 rating appropriate.

This song, this album... BOTH spectacular. I listened to them before, but this album is their best in my eyes. Ditto to Heather-- I never had a favorite song or album until August of 2010.

David Draiman is so good at portraying raw emotion through the lyrics in their songs. His voice makes it that much more believable.
