Father's Son
Redemption's Cry: Confessions of a Troubled Soul
Lyrics
My father he done told me
The speaker recalls advice from their father, urging them not to harm others.
To never ever hurt no one
An emphasis on the father's teaching to avoid causing harm to anyone.
But now I'm sick and mad and I've been caught red handed
The speaker confesses to being sick and angry, caught in the act, but asserts they are still their father's child.
Hell I'm still my father's son
Despite the speaker's negative actions, they acknowledge their heritage and lineage.
I lay awake 'til daylight
The speaker struggles with insomnia, contemplating with a pillow and a gun.
A pillow and a gun
An intense emotional state reflected in staying awake with a gun, suggesting inner turmoil.
And if my secret dreams could be seen on screen
The speaker alludes to secret dreams that, if revealed, might invite judgment or scrutiny.
Then they'll be coming for this one
The fear of consequences if the speaker's inner thoughts were made public.
I'm so down Lord
The speaker expresses deep emotional lowliness, seeking solace or guidance.
Better slow down Lord
A plea to slow down, possibly asking for divine intervention or reflection.
Please Lord now forgive me
The speaker seeks forgiveness from a higher power despite feeling undeserving.
Even though I don't deserve
Acknowledging personal shortcomings and a plea for divine mercy.
I never was too good and now
The speaker reflects on their past moral failings, admitting they were never virtuous.
The Devil's all I serve
A declaration of allegiance to negative forces, possibly symbolic of personal struggles.
My woman she done left me
The speaker reveals the departure of their partner despite warnings to leave.
I told her twice to go
A repetition of advising the partner to go, suggesting a difficult relationship.
The first time she ignored me
An account of the partner ignoring the initial advice, leading to drastic actions.
But then I threw her on the floor
A disturbing event where the speaker resorts to physical aggression against their partner.
I'm so down Lord
A repetition of the expression of deep emotional lowliness, seeking intervention.
Better slow down Lord
A repeated plea to slow down, indicating a need for reflection or a pause in life.
