The Forgotten Ones
Allen-Lande Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep that in mind when the hope fails

When the world starts to cry
And the life around you slowly dies
The forgotten ones will see
How you seek how you try
To save a unknown life from pain
The forgotten ones will know

No one here to wipe your tears
No one here to ease your grief
Only a deep darkness ahead
Waiting for the hope to leave

But there is someone who remembers you...

When the world starts to cry...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "The Forgotten Ones" by Allen-Lande speak of loneliness, hopelessness, and the desire for someone to remember and care for you amidst the chaos of the world. The first verse expresses the feeling of abandonment and loss, where there seems to be no one to save or guard your soul. The emptiness ahead signifies that the person is facing a daunting future that they perceive to be filled with fear and uncertainty. However, the second verse suggests that there could be someone waiting for a sign to lead the way to the person in despair. This "someone" is willing to die for the person and wants them to keep this in mind when the hope fails. This person could be a symbol of hope or a friend who is faithful and never gives up on the person in despair.

The chorus speaks of the forgotten ones who are aware of the person's situation, empathize with them, and see their attempts to save an unknown life from pain. The forgotten ones are those who have gone through similar circumstances in life and understand how one feels when they are going through difficult situations. The chorus, therefore, encourages the person in despair that they are not alone, even when it seems like everything is falling apart. The hopelessness expressed in the first verse is countered by the encouragement and support reflected in the second verse and the chorus, which gives the person in despair a reason to keep pressing on, even when the world around them is crying and slowly dying.
