about

Father is a song based on a true personal story. It represents one of the most untold stories. Domestic violence is often labeled as a problem coming from broken families or those with lower social status.

In truth, violence can happen in any home no matter the race, religion, culture, social status or neighbourhood. It's important to be aware and report any suspected or actual cases. Violence can have long term consequences on victims particularly young children which can impact their mental health for many years to come.

ZAYD reveals part of his own story in the song as he is left to grapple with the aftermath. Father is a song that describes the long lasting effects of the rage, the hurt, and the depression that a person can be left feeling for years after. It can cause a person to feel hopeless, lost and unworthy.

Through his music, ZAYD aims to help those who have undergone similar situations. His goal is to help individuals along the path of healing by providing an outlet in his songs as well as the knowledge that there are others out there that have and are still fighting the same battle. Its about replacing the negative feelings with the positive feelings of hope, love and a brighter future ahead. It’s about raising awareness of mental health and your voice to protect children and other victims of abuse.

lyrics

Wish I knew it was my mistake
To be born, to be in this mess
Wish I knew so I could tell you that father
Why don't you put a bullet in my head

It's never too late, nothing is wrong
Don't let it burden you
Haven't you learned from your empty past
You always told me I'm to blame

Why don't you take my hand
And show me how it was I am to blame
Why don't you leave out the rest
Yeah
There's a death note written your name

Let it out let it burn
Let it touch, let it feel you
Let it be inside your head
Let the demon play the game

Wish it all, wish it all now father
Wish it what you desire father
Let the voice guide you
Guide you to your emptiness

Why don't you take my hand
And show me how it was I am to blame
Why don't you leave out the rest
Yeah
There's a death note written your name

Why don't you take my hand
And show me how it was I am to blame
Why don't you leave out the rest
Yeah
There's a death note written your name

There's a death note written your name

Forgive me for my act
Forgive me for my sin
Let them see your emptiness
Let the demon play the game

Why don't you take my hand
And show me how it was I am to blame
Why don't you leave out the rest
Yeah
There's a death note written your name

Why don't you take my hand
And show me how it was I am to blame
Why don't you leave out the rest
Yeah
There's a death note written your name

For this Canadian rocker, music is a way to talk about the hard things in life; suicide, depression, anxiety and abuse. When life knocked him down, it was always music that pulled him through and now he wants to pay it forward. ... more
