Never Forget
Angelus Apatrida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How many hours (I've) wasted my illusion
A crystal dream with no solution
Broken by your never ending greed
A blood-injected pupil runs
Your conscience while you fall asleep
My pores are sweating hatred words I have never told you
There are not many men in the world
Who I can consider my friends
We put our entire trust in you
And you threw it right to the trash
Say goodbye to the world you use to know
Say goodbye if you've ever been alone
Realize that no one loved you
Say goodbye, I forgive but I never forget
What made you think we'd join your game?
Your words betrayed yourself, - you would
There are no more tales, no more lies
The real story has just began
(Solo: Guillermo Izquierdo
Solo: David G. Álvarez)
Our future built in bad lands
We were running out of time
Foundations are stronger than all
Destroying everything in their path
The lyrics to Angelus Apatrida's song "Never Forget" are reflective of the singer's experience of betrayal and the realization of the true nature of a former friend. The repetition of "how many times?" and "how many hours?" express the depth of emotional investment that the singer had in this relationship, only to have it shattered by the friend's "never ending greed." The metaphor of a "crystal dream" adds to the image of something pure and seemingly perfect, but ultimately fragile and easily shattered.
The second verse introduces a more aggressive tone, with the singer feeling a rush of hatred towards the friend. The description of the friend's "blood-injected pupil" while they sleep could suggest a sense of guilt or remorse on the friend's part, as if they are subconsciously aware of the harm they have caused. The singer's "hatred words" are not explicitly stated, but the use of this phrase suggests a deep anger and resentment that has been pent up for some time.

I feel so much hatred towards you that my body is literally reacting by sweating out words I could never say to your face

The real story has just began
The truth is finally coming out, and it's going to be a shock to everyone involved

Our future built in bad lands
Our future has been built on shaky ground, and it's not looking promising
We were running out of time
We were quickly running out of time to fix the situation
Foundations are stronger than all
Despite everything that has happened, our foundation and bond are stronger than anything else
Destroying everything in their path
But the people responsible for causing the damage will face the consequences of their actions

Gracias por hacernos la cuarentena mas llevadera, ya estoy esperando el vídeo de la semana que viene (también estaría bien subir un vídeo con varias canciones, un concierto vamos, jejeje, ahí lo dejo por si alguien más le mola la idea y se apunta a la proposición).
Otra pregunta totalmente distinta, alguien sabría decirme si los guitarristas usan otros modelos de jackson aparte de la linea hecha en USA de 4.000 €? no se, algún modelo de la línea Pro o algún modelo hecho en Japón, lo que sea, pero que sea "similar" a la linea americana en lo que es dimensiones del mástil, comodidad al tocar, etc. (lo ideal seria contestaran Guillermo o David, pero agradecería igual si alguien más conociera el dato).
