Foreverlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Felt so alone
I felt so alone
My heart without a home
In that time I thought
That I was gone
That I was gone
From Your love
Oh you find me when I fall
You say, Oh son you are MY own
When I doubt your love, when I doubt my worth
You show me every time, that I am loved
There was a time that I
thought "I'm the worst"
I thought the worst things
About my life
In that time I thought
That I could draw
Draw all the lines between the world
And where I fall
Speak what I'm worth.
There was a time that I
felt so alone
But I'm not alone
I'm not alone
The lyrics of Foreverlin's song "Speak" are a poignant reflection of the emotions felt by many individuals struggling with doubts and feelings of inadequacy. The song starts with the artist describing a time when he felt completely alone, with his heart lacking warmth and direction. Despite such feelings of abandonment, he still didn't believe he had completely fallen out of the love of someone, presumably God. The main theme is the artist's struggle with insecurity and doubt about his self-worth, but he also expresses how his faith helps him to cope with these feelings. He speaks of how the love of God encourages him to keep going, even when he feels like giving up. No matter how far he falls down, he knows his creator will always find him and remind him of his worth.
The verse that says "There was a time that I thought "I'm the worst," I thought the worst things about my life" is a reminder, to both the artist and the listener, of how these negative feelings can distort our perception and lead us to forget how valuable we really are. The artist is essentially pleading with God to remind him of his worth and comfort him in his time of need. He concludes the song by affirming his belief that he's not alone anymore and that his faith has helped him push through and overcome his doubts.
Overall, "Speak" is a song that deals with serious and relatable themes that speak to individuals who struggle with feelings of loneliness, self-doubt, sadness, and a search for meaning, eventually finding solace in their faith and a higher power.

There was a time that I
At some point in the past
Felt so alone
I was lonely
I felt so alone
My feelings of loneliness were intense
My heart without a home
I didn't know where I belonged
In that time I thought
During that difficult period
That I was gone
I felt like I had disappeared
From Your love
I thought I was no longer loved by you
Oh you find me when I fall
You help and support me when I am struggling
You say, Oh son you are MY own
You reassure me of your love and care
When I doubt your love, when I doubt my worth
During moments of insecurity and self-doubt
You show me every time, that I am loved
You demonstrate and prove your love for me repeatedly
thought "I'm the worst"
I believed I was terrible or inferior
I thought the worst things
I had negative and unkind thoughts
About my life
About my existence and experiences
That I could draw
That I had the ability
Draw all the lines between the world
Define the borders and differences between things
And where I fall
Including where I fit or don't fit in
Speak what I'm worth.
Acknowledge and affirm my value and importance
But I'm not alone
I have support and companionship
I'm not alone
I am not by myself

This summer I went to Maranatha Bible Camp. Foreverlin played songs for us.. {the singer's cute in real life} this inspired inspires me because.. I feel alone ALL the time.. but I know I'm not because of my heavenly father.. I wanted to buy a poster so they could sign it but I didn't have enough.. They were so nice and friendly.. my camp on the other hand treated me like.. me like... n... nothing. I literally didn't get one hello.. I'm serious. Nobody talked. To me.. LITERALLY nobody. I went swimming alone.. I felt so alone. But yea. I am glad I got to meet foreverlin in real life! There a true insparation.
