Forgive Me
Diego Chavez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The tree gave up its fruit at once
Ah! My hand it burns
Scarred with these prints
They will live when I die, that is a fact
The blood will drain
Infection will mix with the blue corpse
But you have it here
At your back and at your face
Leaves drop or aching branches creak
You walk alone down boulevards
I take you to the sky
Take you to the sky [Repeat: x3]
The lyrics of Diego Chavez's "Forgive Me" seem to reflect themes of guilt, sin, and the consequences of one's actions. The opening line "you know evil, know it well" suggests that the singer may be addressing someone who has experienced or committed evil deeds. The next lines "the tree gave up its fruit at once, ah! My hand it burns" could allude to the biblical story of Adam and Eve, where the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge caused them to experience pain and suffering. The singer seems to have scars on their hand and believes that their actions will have lasting consequences even after they die.
The following lines "they will live when I die, that is a fact, the blood will drain, infection will mix with the blue corpse, but you have it here" suggest that the singer's actions have harmed someone and that the effects will continue even after they are gone. The line "you see how it is like the wind, at your back and at your face, leaves drop or aching branches creak" creates a sense of unpredictability and instability, as though the consequences of one's actions can affect one's surroundings in unexpected ways. The final lines "you walk alone down boulevards, I take you to the sky, take you to the sky" suggest that the singer may be seeking redemption or forgiveness for their sins.
