Forgiveness
Di-rect Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Steel gray
Colors are devoured, a warning
She Builds up her defenses
to save her from decay
it starts to fade away

No, it can’t be forgiven
You can’t find forgiveness, . . . if you try

A light heart
Doesn’t need protection, or shelter
Her smile is other-worldly
Giving unconditional love
Only from the heart

No, it can’t be forgiven
You can’t find forgiveness, . . . if you try

No, it can’t be forgiven
You can’t find forgiveness, . . . if you try

In the battle of the weak they were so far from home
Thinking, how to be strong?
Hear the uniform screaming with his hands up high
Saying, don’t get me wrong!

Today is already gone
We can leave as dust, or dreams

A light heart
Doesn’t need protection
Giving unconditional love

No, it can’t be forgiven
You can’t find forgiveness
You can’t find forgiveness
You can’t find forgiveness
You can’t find forgiveness
You can’t find forgiveness




You can’t find forgiveness
You can’t find forgiveness, . . . if you try

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Di-rect’s song Forgiveness touch on the themes of defenses, forgiveness, unconditional love, and strength. The opening lines paint a picture of a person who has built up defenses to protect themselves from harm. However, these defenses ultimately start to fade away and are unable to save them from decay. The idea is that we cannot always protect ourselves, and sometimes we need to be open and vulnerable to truly connect with others.


The chorus repeats the phrase “No, it can’t be forgiven. You can’t find forgiveness if you try.” This line points to the idea that while forgiveness is important, it cannot always be obtained simply by seeking it out. Instead, true forgiveness requires a deeper understanding of the situation and other factors involved. The second verse brings in the notion of a light heart, one that doesn’t need protection or shelter. This type of heart is able to give unconditional love, which is a powerful force in connecting with others.


The final lines touch on the theme of strength in the face of adversity. The battle of the weak being far from home symbolizes the struggles we often face when we are outside of our comfort zone. The idea of leaving as dust or dreams suggests that we have a choice in how we approach these struggles. We can let them defeat us, or we can leave behind something meaningful that reflects our strength and resilience.
