About Red Terror
“Red Terror” is an electro-pop song that explores The Weeknd's upbringing. We see how his mother fled war-torn Ethiopia to Toronto and would eventually have Abel. She dedicated her life to raising him well and he feels as though he has disappointed her by abandoning her for a life of debauchery. On an album filled with regret, pointed at his drug abuse, the abuse of fame, the abuse of women, etc., the most climactic moment is dedicated to none other than his own mother. .
Red Terror Lyrics
[00:11.78] Oh, whoa
[00:13.86] Oh, whoa
[00:16.80] Oh, whoa, whoa
[00:21.54] Oh, whoa
[00:23.95] Oh, whoa
[00:26.56] Oh, whoa, whoa
[00:30.10] You're not heavy, I rock you to sleep, I hold you for hours long
[00:39.99] Never heavy, I won't let you weep
[00:45.51] Hush, my child, you're mine
[00:54.49] All my life, I've tried
[01:05.56] Oh-oh, you were never heavy, light just like a feather
[01:11.64] I ran from the terror, the crowd was led from the left
[01:16.70] You were never scary, I knew you were special
[01:21.59] My only attention, alone, I left to the west
[01:26.24] Then moved to the city, eight months we were pregnant
[01:30.80] You came out so precious, in the snow you would grow
[01:35.87] Your mama loves you, you'll never be alone
[01:43.50] Hush, my child, you're mine (I know, I know, I know, hey)
[01:53.47] All my life, I've tried (I'm sorry mama, I'm sorry mama, whoa-whoa)
[02:02.49] To keep you warm, if I go (if I go, I feel so cold without you mama, I feel so cold without you, whoa-whoa)
[02:11.75] You're still my child, don't cry
[02:17.22]
[02:55.60] Death is nothin' at all, it does not count
[03:03.41] I have only slipped away into the next room
[03:08.79] Nothin' has happened
[03:11.81] Everything remains exactly how it was
[03:18.13] I am I, and you are you
[03:28.00] And the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged
[03:39.13] Whatever we were to each other, that we are still
[03:48.25] Call me by the old familiar name
[03:50.81]
[00:13.86] Oh, whoa
[00:16.80] Oh, whoa, whoa
[00:21.54] Oh, whoa
[00:23.95] Oh, whoa
[00:26.56] Oh, whoa, whoa
[00:30.10] You're not heavy, I rock you to sleep, I hold you for hours long
[00:39.99] Never heavy, I won't let you weep
[00:45.51] Hush, my child, you're mine
[00:54.49] All my life, I've tried
[01:05.56] Oh-oh, you were never heavy, light just like a feather
[01:11.64] I ran from the terror, the crowd was led from the left
[01:16.70] You were never scary, I knew you were special
[01:21.59] My only attention, alone, I left to the west

[01:43.50] Hush, my child, you're mine (I know, I know, I know, hey)
[01:53.47] All my life, I've tried (I'm sorry mama, I'm sorry mama, whoa-whoa)
