2) A melodic black metal band from Cape Town, South Africa. Taken from their myspace:
From the conception of Child till the completion of their first song, two things have always dominated their style; striving for heaviness and pushing the boundaries of song writing.
A product of past bands, Child came into being as a five-piece in the beginning of 2006, desecrating their original Death Metal style with influences from various Black Metal and Melodic Death Metal bands.
Near the end of 2006 the band was completed with the addition of a sixth member, and the concept of bringing more atmosphere into the mix.
Child was born, a bastard style of Melodic Black Metal.
Instinctively feeling the urge to bring originality to the genre of Black Metal, Child takes into account their years of watching the local Cape Town Metal Scene evolving.
Not celebrating the confinement of their land of birth, nor denying it, they accept the unchangeable and seek to sanctify it by empowering themselves through the world’s demise.
Child have arrived.

The Man
Child Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

One man One blood
Running through us all
Like a river one soul connecting us all
Like a river strong... connects us all... as we all belong
One man One blood
Just running… running through us all
Like the stones that lie - in the riverbed
There lies the souls that connect us all

It's the tide that binds - the Otter who knows
Lord don't he know
One man, one woman, and one blood running through us all
Like a river so strong - running... running through us all
Like a river so strong
We all belong
Like a river so strong
We all belong
Well, It's the Eagle who sees... know's Love is all
Oh just keep that hope in your eye
Your eye
Cause an elephant you know he can't cry... no no no
My friend the Orca's in need - black and white in perfect harmony
One man One heart and One soul
and one blood connects us all
Oh... One love to touch us all

One love to touch us all
I say one LOVE to touch us all

Overall Meaning

The child's song "The Man" depicts how every individual, irrespective of their race or ethnicity, is united by a common bond of humanity. The singer acknowledges the blood running through us all, which connects us as one soul, similar to the way a river flows with a strong current that binds everyone. The song is a testimony to the fact that even though we come from diverse backgrounds, share different cultures, and live in distinct regions, the essential essence of human nature remains the same.

The lyrics go on to further explain the metaphorical significance of using a river to symbolize human unity. From the stones that lie in the riverbed to the creatures that thrive along the water waves, everything has a role to play in shaping the connectedness of humanity. The Otter, the Eagle, the Elephant, the Orca, and their distinctiveness, all symbolize the unique qualities of each individual soul that coexist in perfect harmony.

The song emphasizes the idea that love is the binding force between all human beings, and we should keep hope in our eyes to see the world from a more compassionate perspective. The lyrics suggest that as humans, we should aspire to be more like an Otter or an Eagle, always be hopeful and optimistic, and strive to create a better future for all humanity with love and compassion.
