Forgive And Forget
Cast Aside Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said you would always be there
Until the fucking end
But then you sold out straight edge
And betrayed your friends

Forgiveness is not an option
Now you're dead
I will not forget

What you did

Never backing down
From a fucking fight
Why don't you step on up
And we'll see who's right

Forgiveness is not an option
Now you're dead
I will not forget
Now you're dead to me

Through all the years
I've paid my dues
Now its time to see who's true

I'll stay straight edge until the end
Never turn my back on a friend

Overall Meaning

These lyrics speak to a sense of betrayal within the straight edge subculture. The singer is addressing someone who had previously claimed to be an ally, someone who had promised to remain true to the straight edge lifestyle, but had since "sold out." The use of the phrase "sold out" here implies that this person had given in to outside pressures, possibly by abandoning their sobriety or by engaging in other behaviors that were deemed unstraightedge. By doing so, the person had betrayed not only the singer but also their entire circle of friends.

The tone of the lyrics is stern and unforgiving. The singer makes it clear that forgiveness is not an option and that this person is dead to them. The use of the phrase "dead to me" reinforces the idea that the betrayal was significant enough to sever all ties between the two individuals. There is also a call to action present in the lyrics, with the singer inviting the other person to step up and prove themselves in a confrontation.

Overall, these lyrics express a profound sense of disappointment and anger towards someone who had previously been a trusted friend. The use of the straight edge subculture as a backdrop adds a layer of intensity to the situation, emphasizing the importance of loyalty and integrity within this community.

You said you would always be there
You promised to be a loyal friend

Until the fucking end
You said you'd be there until the very end

But then you sold out straight edge
But you betrayed our values and gave up your straight edge lifestyle

And betrayed your friends
In doing so, you also betrayed our friendship

Forgiveness is not an option
I cannot forgive you for what you've done

Now you're dead
Our friendship is over, I want nothing to do with you

I will not forget
I will always remember what you did and how you betrayed us

I will never back down from a challenge

From a fucking fight
I am willing to defend our values and beliefs

Then we will see who truly stands by our values
