A Sound Mind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake me up from the bad dream I am having
Cause I'm too wrapped up in myself & I am forgetting
All about you.
Ive been spreading myself thin
To all of those who have been there for me
To all of those, who have given
So much of themselves to me
Cosmic debts I am slowly repaying
But there's been to much on my mind I haven't been letting
Others know how much I care
Cause you give I take you give some more so I take some more
But its time I started giving back to you.
No more spreading my self thin
To all of those who have been there for me
Not giving enough of myself
To all of those, who have given
So much of themselves to me
Breaking the silence that was made
When I pushed you away
Now Im Spending myself on
All of those who have been there for me
Giving more than enough of myself
To all of those who given
So much of themselves to me
Yeah and you'll be in my thoughts forever, I'll take you with me
Yeah and you'll be in my thoughts forever, I'll take you with me
Everywhere I go

The lyrics in "Always & Forever" by A Sound Mind are a heartfelt reflection on the importance of family, close friends, and mentors. The opening lines of the song express a sense of disconnection from those around the singer, as if they are so focused on their own problems that they have forgotten about the people who are closest to them. The line "I've been spreading myself thin" suggests that the singer has been trying to help everyone who asks for their time, but in doing so, they may not have been giving enough attention to the people who matter most. The line "Not giving enough of myself to all of those, who have given so much of themselves to me" highlights this sense of imbalance in the singer's relationships.
The song then takes a hopeful turn, as the singer acknowledges the debt they owe to those around them and vows to start giving back more. They "break the silence" that has grown between them and their loved ones, and begin to "spend" themselves on those who have been there for them. The repetition of the line "you give, I take, you give some more, so I take some more" reinforces the singer's recognition of this pattern of behavior, and their desire to change it. They want to be there for their loved ones in the same way that their loved ones have been there for them. The final lines of the song offer a sense of resolution and closure, as the singer promises to carry their loved ones with them wherever they go.
Overall, "Always & Forever" is a poignant reminder of the importance of staying connected to the people who matter most in our lives, even when we are struggling with our own problems.
