Iron Maiden - Wrathchild - Meaning of the song
"Wrathchild" is a song by Iron Maiden, written by bassist Steve Harris. It is the second track from the 1981 studio album Killers.
This song is about an angry young man searching for his unknown father, presumably with violent intentions:
"My mother was a queen, my dad I've never seen, I was never meant to be. Now I spend my time looking all around, for a man that is now where to be found."
Wrathchild - Lyrics
I was born into a scene of angriness and greed Dominance and persecution My mother was a queen, my dad I've never seen I was never meant to be And now I spend my time looking all around For a man that's nowhere to be found Until I find him, I'm never gonna stop searching I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around 'Cause I'm a wrathchild I'm a wrathchild Ah, I'm a wrathchild I'm coming to get you, ooh yeah, yeah Oh... yeah! Say it doesn't matter, ain't nothin' gonna alter The course of my destination I know I've got to find some serious piece of mind Or I know I'll just go crazy But now I spend my time looking all around For a man that's nowhere to be found Until I find him, I'm never gonna stop searching I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around 'Cause I'm a wrathchild Well, I'm a wrathchild Yeah, I'm a wrathchild I'm coming to get you, ooh yeah, yeah Yeah!
