Machine Gun Kelly, the 33-year-old pop punk rapper, has aroused emotions with the release of his latest ballad, Don’t Let Me Go, which discusses his fiancee Megan Fox’s devastating pregnancy loss.
The artist, born Colson Baker, opens out about the tragedy’s significant impact, expressing deep regret for not being physically present for his spouse during the tough period.
In moving lyrics, Machine Gun Kelly raps, “How can I live with the fact that my hand wasn’t on her stomach when we lost the baby?”
Megan previously revealed the miscarriage in her poetry book, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, in which she expressed her observations on the agony of losing their unborn child.
Fox described an ultrasound of a baby girl at 10 weeks and a day, expressing sadness and thoughtfulness while contemplating the “what ifs” surrounding the tragedy.
Amidst the emotional weight of the song’s themes, Kelly confesses his own personal struggle, revealing a breakdown before deciding to tattoo his entire upper body.
He wrote on Instagram: “For spiritual purposes only.”
Megan’s heart-wrenching words on her pregnancy loss provide a clear picture of her suffering.
With lyrics like “I close my eyes and imagine holding you tight against my chest as they rip you from my insides,” Fox evokes the raw sensations of longing.
While the couple did not publicly acknowledge the pregnancy loss until November, Kelly hinted at it during his performance at the Billboard Music Awards in May 2022, dedicating the song to Megan and their unborn child.
Fox confessed in an interview with Good Morning America that the loss was made all the more agonizing because she had already given birth to three sons with her ex, Brian Austin Green.
During this metamorphosis, Megan Fox made news with her own tattoo debut, underscoring the couple’s shared journey of self-expression and development.
