1) God Forbid was a melodic metalcore band from New Brunswick, New Jersey that was formed in 1998. Their style is different than the styles presented by other, popular metalcore bands: God Forbid's influences are deep-rooted in thrash metal. Building up a following in the late 1990s by touring with bands such as Cradle of Filth, Nile, and Candiria, their first full album Reject the Sickness was released by 9 Volt Records in 1999. This album received heavy rotation from WSOU-FM in the New York City area, and the band was subsequently signed to Century Media Records, releasing the album Determination in 2001. They played on the MTV2 Headbanger's Ball tour with Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, and Lamb of God. In 2004, they released Gone Forever, which helped increase their status considerably. They supported Machine Head along with Caliban in Nov/Dec of 2004 in the UK. The next year, they released IV: Constitution of Treason, a concept album about the end of the world. In 2005-2006 they supported Trivium on their UK tour along with Mendeed & Bloodsimple.
In 2009, they released a brand-new album, Earthsblood. To promote this album, they went on a tour with August Burns Red, DevilDriver and Anthrax.

God Forbid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why can't you see? Why can't you see it?
Alone with my thoughts as my mind begins to ponder
I see what we are, and the way were.
The lack of interest in my reality
A glimpse into my past, look towards the future.
The truth right before me
My life exhumes an odor of survival
I want it all
As my world begins to crumble. The body starts to shake
Hoping everything will be ok
My sanity is fading. Lost within myself
Father I will call to you, the depths to which we fall
In these changing times, loss of distinction is irrelevant
To a lasting existence
Let's go
I want it all
As my world begins to crumble. The body starts to shake
Hoping everything will be okay
My sanity is fading. Lost within myself
Father I call to you, the depths to which we
The depths to which we fall, the depths to which we
Conquer by God Forbid is a song about the fury that the singer feels inside of him and his struggle to keep his sanity amidst the chaos. The first two lines of the song, "Why can't you see all the fury inside of me? Why can't you see? Why can't you see it?" signify the frustration and anger that the singer feels towards those who cannot see the turmoil he is going through. He is alone with his thoughts and his mind begins to ponder on the reality of his situation.
The verse that follows talks about how the singer sees the lack of interest in his reality and how he looks towards the future. He sees the truth right before him but is surrounded by death all around him. He wants it all, but his world begins to crumble and his body starts to shake. He hopes that everything will be okay and calls out to his father for strength.
The chorus repeats the line "I want it all" and talks about how the singer's sanity is fading and he is lost within himself. He calls out to his father again and talks about the depths to which we fall. The song ends with the line "the depths to which we" leaving it open-ended and up to interpretation.
