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.
Walk Alone
God Forbid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why would you walk into the fire?
Under a shiled of love, I give myself to you
Tugging at the strings of my heart
Oh how I wish you were here
Turned on me, and left me empty
You took my heart and changed me
You don't have to walk alone.
With the world left behind us, we step into the unknown
You don't have to walk alone.
With the world left behind us, we step into the unknown
The pain I feel without you eats away at me
The slow drawn breath released from my body
Over. Over and over, the restriction of air
Shifting your point of view
Where do you take your last stand? What do you lose? Addict
Under a shield of love
With every glance, I give myself to you
You don't have to walk alone.
With the world left behind us, we step into the unknown
You don't have to walk alone.
With the world left behind us, we become one
Broken down... my barriers
And walked right in. What do you lose?
The sacred bond we holdin our grasp closer to hell
Than the heaven we see in our dreams
Solo: Doc
Broken down my barriers and walked right in
You're tugging at the strings of my heart
Am I the fool for searching for the truth?
It's only lies... it's only lies
If I find the truth I seek, I won't read the signs
Under a shield of love
With every glance, I give myself to you
You don't have to walk alone.
With the world left behind us, we step into the unknown
You don't have to walk alone.
With the world left behind us, we become one
Solo: Doc, Dallas, Doc, Dallas
In Walk Alone by God Forbid, the lyrics share the emotions of someone who has been hurt by a loved one and is struggling to cope. The lyrics describe a person who willingly gave their heart to another, only to be betrayed and left feeling empty. Despite the pain, they still want to be with that person and are willing to give themselves over to love again, under a shield of love. The chorus is hopeful and encouraging, reminding the listener that they don't have to walk alone and that they can step into the unknown with someone by their side.
The bridge explores the pain and suffering that comes with longing for someone who has left. The lyrics use graphic metaphors to describe how the pain eats away at the person and makes it hard to breathe. The last few lines of the bridge ask the listener to consider what they are willing to lose for this person and where they will take their last stand. The last verse describes the feeling of being vulnerable and exposed after breaking down one's barriers for love. The lyrics question whether it's worth it to seek the truth when all they have found are lies.
