Wicked
God Forbid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shadows return showing
Images of bitter memories
As clear as a sheet of glass
Games have died
False beauty won't last
Greed and hatred,
Some will live
Left to wonder why
Confused, lost, alone
Pressure now unleashed
See from my point of view
Vengeance for what you do
Issues have been long forgotten
Lost, abandoned,
Suffer as I do

Torment and mention,
Ungodly choices
Act of violence,
Pain in now real

Why decide right or wrong
There is another way
You must decide for your own self
The path in which to go

Greed and hatred
Some will live
Left to wonder why
You will forever




Suffer aching pain
Pressure now unleashed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of God Forbid's song "Wicked" delve into the themes of pain, suffering, and vengeance. The opening lines of "Shadows return showing / Images of bitter memories / As clear as a sheet of glass" set the tone for the song as the singer is haunted by painful past memories that have become crystal clear. The themes of greed, false beauty, and hatred come up as the singer reflects on the human condition. The lines "Games have died / False beauty won't last / Greed and hatred / Some will live / Left to wonder why" confront the futility of these negative and self-destructive tendencies.


The chorus brings in themes of confusion and loneliness, "Confused, lost, alone / Pressure now unleashed / See from my point of view / Vengeance for what you do." The singer feels pressure and is struggling to make sense of the world and the pain caused by others. This pain leads the singer to consider vengeance, as is evident in the lines: "Torment and mention / Ungodly choices / Act of violence, / Pain in now real." However, the song also suggests that there is another way, and the singer encourages others to make their own choices, "Why decide right or wrong / There is another way / You must decide for your own self / The path in which to go." Ultimately, the themes of the song revolve around the cyclical nature of pain, suffering, and vengeance, highlighting the human condition of conflict and struggle.
