Genesis (Phil Collins) - No son of mine

Original Music Video
"No Son of Mine" was released in November 11, 1991. The first single from the album " We Can't Dance" .

Lyrics:

Well the key to my survival
was never in much doubt
the question was how I could keep sane
trying to find a way out

Things were never easy for me
peace of mind was hard to find
and I needed a place where I could hide
somewhere I could call mine

I didn't think much about it
til it started happening all the time
soon I was living with the fear everyday
of what might happen that night

I couldn't stand to hear the
crying of my mother
and I remember when
I swore that, that would be the
Last they'd see of me
And I never went home again

they say that time is a healer
and now my wounds are not the same
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say

He sat me down to talk to me
he looked me straight in the eyes

he said:

You're no son, you're no son of mine
You're no son, you're no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
and you're no son, no son of mine

oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
and as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it

You're no son, you're no son of mine
but where should I go,
and what should I do
you're no son, you're no son of mine
but I came here for help, oh I came here for you

Well the years they passed so slowly
I thought about him everyday
what would I do, if we passed on the street
would I keep running away

in and out of hiding places
soon I'd have to face the facts
we'd have to sit down and talk it over
and that would mean going back

they say that time is a healer
and now my wounds are not the same
I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say

He sat me down to talk to me
he looked me straight in the eyes

he said:

You're no son, you're no son of mine
You're no son, you're no son of mine
When you walked out, you left us behind
and you're no son, you're no son of mine

oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
and as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it

You're no son, you're no son of mine
But where should I go and what should I do
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But I came here for help, oh I was looking for you
You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh
You're no son - ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah
You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh, oh...

My real father left when I was two, just upped and left. My step father however, spent all my remaining childhood years, physically, mentally and sexually abusing me and my mother let him. So NO, time does NOT heal. That's a crock spoken by those who've never experienced these terrible things. So I appreciate a song that comes from the heart and is meaningful. Thanks Phil, nice to know we're important too.

i dont think time heals eney thing it only makes it worse i hate my father because he told me he hates me and he never wanted me so fuck him and fuck that saying time heals all wounds

[TheARWolf]

My parents have been divorced since i was two. My mom abuses me mentally everyday I spend with her. She wants me to be perfect, but I'm far from it. She's gotten worse. She used to slam doors and cupboards, now she just uses her words, which is worse because they're aimed directly to me. I've thought of leaving many times, but my dad just doesn't care. My mom thinks that she should know everything about me, and my dad could care less. It's hard to live between two opposites, but I have to.......

my father and his family disowned me for my fiancee and my Daughter and it hurt badly. My fiancee treats me wonderfully and my daughter is a grace from the Gods themselves but they told me they would sooner shoot themselves than accept my fiancee why because we are both mentally ill, they also told me give up my daughter to adoption and go find the real father of my Daughter cause he can't be the father cause he is too Dumb. I love this song cause it rings true only difference is i am a daughter

[CherryMistmas]

My parents recently disowned me when I came out to them as transgender. Everytime I hear this song it feels me with both pain and hope...my family may be gone, and there may be no way they'll ever forgive me, but I have the desire to keep living, not for other people, but for myself.
