Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Abuse" by Forlorn brings the listener on a journey through the cycle of abuse. The use of repetition emphasizes the severity and relentlessness of the abuse. The lyrics start with "Abuse life" and end with "Abuse me," demonstrating how abuse can permeate every aspect of one's existence. The inclusion of "love" and "hate" implies that the abuser can be someone who was once trusted, and the emotional manipulation can be just as damaging as physical abuse. The repetition of "Abuse" also creates a sense of hopelessness, as if the victim is trapped in a never-ending cycle of torment.


The final two lines of the song, "Wish for, Another system, Another night, In another life" could suggest a desire for escape, a longing for a "way out" of the abuse. The repeated use of "another" highlights the feeling of desperation and the need for change, even if it's in another life. The lines give the listener a sense of longing, bringing about imagery of a better, safer life.
