Forgive Durden; Lizzie Huffman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O the Scientist, and his Genesis
He overlooks my gift and then I think
She's the only who knows what I could have done
I must be patient.
They will realize what I know inside.
I was meant to lead this world to greater things
It's my destiny
Everything seems to fade when I see her face
The sky and trees all blur every time I look at her
Nobody understood me till her eyes fixed upon me
My puzzle life's complete, now that I've found the missing piece
Don't you worry, boy, it's a waste of time
Place your hand on mine, untie your mind
We'll just float away into the day
You're not the only one who thinks they're falling in love
You must be patient
They will realize what I see inside
You were meant to lead this world to greater things
It's your destiny
Everything seems to fade when I see her face
The sky and trees all blur every time I look at her
Nobody understood me till her eyes fixed upon me
My puzzle life's complete, now that I've found the missing piece
O, you're the meaning
Nidria, please listen, I'd like to explain
I should have told you sooner, it's been gnawing at my brain
My mind's in knots, it's got me lost,
Please help me through the maze
'Cause you're the key, the lock turning,The breaking of these chains
Everything seems to fade when I see his face
It seems all the stars turn down every time I look at him
Nobody understood me till his eyes fixed upon me
My puzzle life's complete, now that I've found the missing piece
Everything seems to fade when I see her face
The sky and trees all blur every time I look at her
Nobody understood me till her eyes fixed upon me
My puzzle life's complete, now that I've found the missing piece
Ahrima, the most gifted serif, the utmost skilled of the cherubs,
He felt his aptitude and slate were being misused
Shamed, he repined this to O the Scientist,
Who replied with a calm face, expressionless
Dream with your eyes closed
Try and pluck the pearl from your bones
Dream with your eyes closed
Try and pluck the pearl from your bones
The lyrics to Forgive Durden's "The Missing Piece" tells a story about a character named Ahrima, who is smart and gifted but feels that his abilities are not being valued or properly used. He believes that he has a destiny to lead the world to greater things, but nobody except for one person, Lizzie Huffman, seems to understand him. As Ahrima falls in love with Huffman, he realizes that she is the missing piece that completes his puzzle of life. The lyrics suggest that Ahrima and Huffman have a special connection, and that Ahrima feels that he can accomplish anything as long as he has her by his side.
The lyrics touch upon themes such as love, destiny, and the search for meaning and purpose in life. The use of imagery, such as the blurry sky and trees when Ahrima sees Huffman's face, creates a dreamy atmosphere and adds to the emotional impact of the song. The lyrics also contain references to mythology and mysticism, with Ahrima being described as a gifted serif and the idea of plucking a pearl from one's bones.
