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.
Scraping the Walls
God Forbid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will these feelings let me go?
Lost in the moments, caught in a world of madness
Pursue a vision, set your goal
I am scraping the walls again, making my way
And I am making my way. We all believe in a savior
Deliverance, free from doubt
Lost in the moment, caught in a world of madness
Pursue a vision, set your goal
And I am scraping the walls again, making my way
And I am making my way. We all believe in a savior
There's no time like now, caught in this moment
No sense of direction, my time is set
Step back and see the vision, a frameless picture
A sense of purpose
Deliverance, free from doubt
We all believe
No time like now, caught in this moment
And I am scraping the walls again, making my way
And I am making my way. We all believe in a savior
And I am scraping the walls again, making my way
And I am making my way. We all believe in a savior

Does it bother anyone else that they spelled it wrong when they made the album? It drives my OCD crazy when it comes on and I see it listed as “Srapping the Walls”. Maybe it’s just me. Great song though.
