Michael Geist, also known as DJ Ghost, formed GGFH in 1986. After releasing several demo tapes and playing the occasional live show, Brian J. Walls joined the band and the duo were eventually signed to "Dreamtime Records" in 1992.
GGFH toured briefly with the metal bands Fear Factory and My Dying Bride and shortly after the tour, Brian J. Walls left the band to pursue other interests (1993).
Over the next 10 years DJ Ghost started a graphic design company and gained notoriety as a DJ. After the release of “The Very Beast of GGFH Vol. 1” in 2001, DJ Ghost decided to begin work on another GGFH LP.
With the absence of Brian J. Walls, the band’s main song writer, DJ Ghost looked to a handful of contributors to help write new GGFH material.
Serrated Smile was released in 2005.
Forgiven
GGFH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In your eyes the burning phoenix flies
Off your lips the crimson color drips
Demons in flight
Comfort me in black and white
Reduced to dust
Nails dug deep
Another night no sleep
No domination
Submit to me no hesitation
No domination there's no regrets
Submissive dedication
Silk and skin
We end and begin again
Into the dark
You come and leave your mark
Two as one
Eyes hiding from the sun
The lyrics of GGFH's song "Forgiven" have some dark and intense imagery that requires a deep interpretation. The song seems to be about a sexual encounter between two individuals, where they have found comfort in each other while hiding their true identities. This intimacy seems to have a dark and thrilling aspect to it, with metaphors like "demons in flight" referring to their hidden desires. The burning phoenix in the eyes of the other person could symbolize a passion that is hard to contain.
The lyrics also mention the color crimson, which is associated with both love and danger, perhaps indicating the thrilling but hazardous nature of their relationship. The reference to nails digging deep and blood flowing filled with lust further enhances the danger element that is suggested throughout the song. The lyrics talk about submitting to each other with no regrets or hesitations, a mutual surrender of control to each other.
The lyrics of "Forgiven" ultimately describe an intense, secret, and passionate encounter between two individuals, where they lose themselves in each other's embrace.
