Forgotten Forever
Borealis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From what you recognize
New light cast on old place
And seen through empty eyes
One moment's thought defines a lifetime
And this moment will be yours
Take this time to see your new reality
You hear them calling
No one else will know
Don't you ever let these cracks show
When your thoughts become lost
What was good becomes bad
All at the damning cost
Of all you ever had
Another mind lost to the depths
To see what no one else can
An existence cast in a memory
And forgotten forever
The lyrics of Borealis's Forgotten Forever delve deep into the human psyche and explore the themes of self-discovery and the fear of being forgotten. The first verse talks about how one's reflection in the mirror can seem different from what they recognize, indicating the change that comes with introspection. The new light cast on an old place might refer to looking back on one's life with a new perspective, possibly after going through a difficult experience. The line "and seen through empty eyes" could mean that, despite the change and introspection, there is still a feeling of emptiness or disconnect.
The chorus urges the listener to take the time to reflect and understand their "new reality." The fear of being forgotten forever is present in lines like "hear them calling, no one else will know" and "an existence cast in a memory, and forgotten forever." The second verse touches on the theme of lost thoughts and how they can change one's perception of what is good and bad. The line "all at the damning cost of all you ever had" could mean that dwelling on negative thoughts can lead to losing sight of what's important.
The lyrics of Forgotten Forever remind us that self-discovery is a journey that can be difficult but ultimately valuable. The fear of being forgotten and the realization that time can change one's perceptions are themes that are relatable to many.

Mirror sees a different face
Your reflection may not always be what you expect it to be
From what you recognize
It may not resemble what you are accustomed to see
New light cast on old place
A different perspective on a familiar setting can reveal something new
And seen through empty eyes
This new perspective may not bring the satisfaction one hoped for
One moment's thought defines a lifetime
A single moment can shape the rest of your life
And this moment will be yours
You have the power to seize the moment and make it count
Take this time to see your new reality
Use this moment to embrace the new perspective and adjust to the changes it brings
You hear them calling
You are being called upon
No one else will know
This struggle is personal and no one else will understand it quite like you do
Don't you ever let these cracks show
Don't allow the weaknesses and vulnerabilities to be exposed
When your thoughts become lost
When you lose direction and clarity of thought
What was good becomes bad
The things that once brought satisfaction may now seem unsatisfying
All at the damning cost
The price to pay is significant
Of all you ever had
The loss may be of everything that once made life worth living
Another mind lost to the depths
Another soul getting lost in a state of confusion
To see what no one else can
This state of confusion can offer a unique perspective
An existence cast in a memory
The memory of past struggles becomes a part of our identity
And forgotten forever
However, this memory fades away over time and becomes forgotten

@TheFdsea
A question to Symphony X. It's so difficult to make songs so powerful and beatiful like this?
@th3gimp17
Symphony X evolved into more of a hard rock/power metal style and forgot their more progressive and neoclassical oriented roots with their last album. Bands like this taking up the mantle is what we can hope for now.

THIS is what i call GOD... not just a band, not just a song... the ENERGY, POWER, MELODY... MUSIC... the REAL MUSIC, that takes you to another dimension, space and time...
@-TheBugLord
This is what I call music. God isn't real. The Bug Lord is our only god.
