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.
Inside
God Forbid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of God Forbid's song Inside are dark and ominous, exploring the themes of love, lies, hate, fear, and hope. The first line of the song "LOVE, the ultimate lie" sets the tone for the rest of the song, as it begs the question of whether love is real or just an illusion. The line "buried beneath the crimson eye" suggests that there is a hidden truth beneath the surface of things, something that we cannot see. The next line "truth told through erotic dreams" suggests that the truth about love can only be uncovered in the realm of the unconscious, where our desires and fears are free to express themselves.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more and more desperate, as the singer seeks to find meaning in a world that seems to have none. The line "To know love, the essence of hate by now you'll see it?s too late" suggests that love and hate are two sides of the same coin, and that it is impossible to have one without the other. The chorus of the song is a repetition of the lines "Follow me to the ends of the earth, trust in me for what it's worth, come inside," which can be interpreted in many ways. It could be seen as a plea for love and understanding, or it could be seen as a warning to those who would blindly follow someone without knowing where they are going.
Overall, the lyrics of Inside are very open to interpretation and could mean different things to different people. However, they do create a sense of unease and discomfort, which is the hallmark of good metal music.
