My Child Lyrics

Tore 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 the angel I denied
When you came to life I was terrified
I knew that nothing else would ever feel the...

    I googled the meaning for this track, and it's about his ex girlfriend's miscarriage. I feel David's pain as me and my wife went through the same thing. But with twins. I relate to this so g a lot. I rely feel for the guy

    If my personal demon with My Child. I lost my daughter Hailey to her mothers fucking coke addiction. EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE I LISTEN AND CRY. It has been over 9 years since the Reaper CHEATED ME. I will suffer eternally. I firmly believe David lost a child in his journey. I feel his pain and mine.

    Poor man, he was worried about being a dad, about the kid's future. He is describing the heartbeat of the baby passing away because of a miscarriage.
    " Sweet surrender to the angel I denied" He accepted being a father and was ready. He has grief,

    "No serenity within agony Every day brings on A hundred ways to fight Constant scrutiny I can feel you judging me Resurrecting every demon that’s inside Her face was horrified You struggled still alive My one 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 With your future in mind Time to do what is right A new beginning"

    I cannot imagine how he feels. Who knows? Maybe he can have another chance.

    I believe that this song is about a father killing his child because he couldn't take care of him/her so he thought it was for the best.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    if im not mistaken, and i could be wrong, (thats why i googled the song meaning), i think its about a man whos child dies during labor.

    very sad and emotional

    Draiman in an interveiw with metal hammer said what this song was about and i cannt remember the exact wording but the general jist of it was that in the time between touring he had met someone and they were going to have a child together but i believe she had a miscarriage and the song is about how felt "The Reaper Cheated Me.." this line is how he felt he had been cheated out of the chance of being a father. He also said the with the heartbeat at the beginging of the song and the deadline at the end he was choking up because it is obviously a very emotional song for him.
