Forlorn Legacy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Such a horrible emptiness
As a hope tonight
It's like I hear the footsteps
From where I hide
At least I know we're of the same kind
At least I know I'm disappearing
With my own rime
My other mask.
Now you can see your seed has grown
Welcome to illusive trap
I'll be your long lost forgotten son
Newer knew why I fulfilled
This vain task
Never knew what kept me walking
Towards your cold
Uncomforting arms
Maybe the end can comfort the sanity
Left in me, or maybe
I'm already stiff
And this is eternity.
It's all the same to me
Still I velcome you with
Reverence
The lyrics in Forlorn Legacy's song Welcome portray a sense of acceptance for a bleak and empty existence. The singer talks about welcoming hopelessness and disappearing into their own rhythm. They mention being similar to the person they are addressing, referring to them as their "other mask." The lyrics seem to express a sense of resignation to an illusive trap, and the singer offers themselves up as a long lost, forgotten son. The end is considered as a possible escape or comfort to the insanity that the singer finds themselves in. The tone of the lyrics is melancholic and introspective, with a sense of acceptance that echoes throughout the song.

It seems like I welcome
I feel like I am accepting
Such a horrible emptiness
An immense void within me
As a hope tonight
In the form of a glimmer of optimism this evening
It's like I hear the footsteps
I sense the approaching sounds of another approaching
From where I hide
I'm concealed somewhere
At least I know we're of the same kind
At least I know that we're alike
At least I know I'm disappearing
At least I am aware of my vanishing presence
With my own rime
Leaving behind my poetry as a legacy
I welcome you
I welcome you
My other mask.
My second facade
Now you can see your seed has grown
You can view how your influence has spread.
Welcome to illusive trap
Congratulations on entering the ambiguous maze
I'll be your long lost forgotten son
I will be your estranged and unseen offspring
Newer knew why I fulfilled
I never really understood why I completed
This vain task
This meaningless duty
Never knew what kept me walking
I never really comprehended what motivated me to keep going
Towards your cold
Towards your dispassionate
Uncomforting arms
Uninviting arms
Maybe the end can comfort the sanity
Perhaps, the end of everything can relieve my mind
Left in me, or maybe
That still resides within me, or perhaps
I'm already stiff
I'm seemingly immobilized
And this is eternity.
I exist here forever.
It's all the same to me
It has little significance to me
Still I velcome you with
Nonetheless, I welcome you with
Reverence
Great respect and admiration
