You're Not Forgotten
Fool's Garden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Follow the road where I once have lost my way.
To the mountains.
Show me the way to the valleys
Back to the place where my memories once have died.
To the valleys.
Silently winding through the veils of wasted time.
To the graveyard.
Show me the way to the fields of pain
Coming to terms with the past and what remains.
You're not forgotten.
Oh you're in my mind,
Oh still in my mind.
In "You're Not Forgotten," Fool's Garden sings about revisiting the places of the past, both physically and emotionally. The lyrics suggest a yearning to reconnect with memories that have been lost, to retrace steps taken in confusion or pain, and to face unresolved feelings. The references to mountains, valleys, and graveyards create a sense of journeying through difficult terrain, facing obstacles and confronting painful truths along the way. The chorus provides a glimmer of reassurance: "You're not forgotten," the singer declares, acknowledging that even though memories may fade or be painful, they still have value and meaning.
Overall, the song expresses a desire to come to terms with the past and find a sense of closure, while acknowledging that the memories will always be a part of the singer's life. The use of visual language and vivid imagery creates a sense of traveling through different landscapes and encountering different emotional states, while the repetition of the phrase "You're not forgotten" provides a touch of comfort and assurance.
