Departure
Forge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here it comes
It's coming right on time
There's very little room left
So get in line

It'll be a short trip
But none will leave unchanged
It'll show you places
You thought were out of range

[chorus]
AND I KNOW WHERE THIS VESSEL'S HEADED
I KNOW THE DISTANCE SPANNED
AND I KNOW WHERE THIS JOURNEY ENDS
RIGHT BACK WHERE IT BEGAN

Some may not make it
They can exit at any time
On this trip there will be no stopping
There will be no wasted time

With so much left to see
We've go to keep this pace
We've so much ground to cover
On this trip through space

[chorus]

And all the while you slept
Awaken only to realize, we never left





[chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Forge's song Departure depict a journey, possibly a metaphor for life, where the destination is known, but the path to get there is full of uncertainties. The opening lines emphasize the imminent arrival of something significant and the urgency for everyone to prepare for it. The limited space alludes to the inevitability of the journey; everyone will embark on it, willingly or unwillingly.


The subsequent lines shed light on the nature of the journey. It will be a short trip, but transformative, filled with novel experiences that will challenge individuals' preconceived notions of what they believed was possible. The chorus highlights the knowledge of the destination but also the recognition that the journey is just as important as the end. The journey will eventually lead to the starting point, implying the cyclical nature of life.


The next verse depicts the unforgiving nature of the journey, and the absence of an option to opt-out once embarked upon. It stresses the importance of not wasting time and keeping pace with the journey's demands. The final lines, "And all the while you slept, Awaken only to realize, we never left" suggests the idea that the journey may have already begun, and individuals may not even be aware of it.
