Forgiven
Hymns Of Eden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or a sign of things to come, and you wonder,
We needing you of love inside,
Another front, but no tomorrow,
Never thought it would end like this,
Wish the days, living for the moment,
Truly moments what I meant,
But I didn't try, my intentions
Made a difference in another life,
Either way I knew the truth,
I knew the trouble I've,
Still I'll find you, in my life
Forgive me, move o'er my head,
Feels like I'm falling, I feel I'm already dead,
Forgive me, move o'er my head,
Say'n I'm lost without you,
Now I'm standing at the edge,
I can still hear familiar voices,
Just talking from inside my head,
I remember making choices,
I know I never should have said,
Of course these thoughts,
Kept to close my minds eye,
Full pissed on trivial conquest,
Remanary full of visionary,
Lost sight of you with all the rest
Forgive me, move o'er my head,
Feels like I'm falling, feel I'm already dead,
Forgive me, move o'er my head,
Say'n I'm lost without you,
Now I'm standing at the edge,
Rrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-a-a-a-a-ow
Forgive me, move o'er my head,
Feels like I'm falling, feel I'm already dead,
Forgive me, move o'er my head,
Say'n I'm lost without you,
Now I'm standing at the edge,
Forgive me, move o'er my head,
Feels like I'm falling, feel I'm already dead,
Forgive me, move o'er my head,
Say'n I'm lost without you,
Now I'm standing at the edge,
Forgive me, move o'er my head,
Feels like I'm falling, feel I'm already dead,
Forgive me, move o'er my head,
Say'n I'm lost without you,
Now I'm standing at the edge,
The lyrics of Hymns Of Eden's song "Forgiven" convey feelings of self-reflection and regret. The singer seems to be addressing a higher power, asking for forgiveness for their mistakes. They acknowledge that they had the chance to make a difference but failed to do so. The line "Another front, but no tomorrow" suggests that the singer may have been involved in some kind of conflict or difficult situation, but now there is no hope for a positive resolution.
The singer also acknowledges that they have lost sight of what is truly important, stating "Lost sight of you with all the rest." They express a feeling of being lost without this higher power and seem to be at the edge of a figurative cliff, unsure of what will happen next.
The use of repetition in the chorus reinforces the singer's desperate plea for forgiveness, while the addition of the phrase "Feels like I'm falling, I feel I'm already dead" adds a sense of urgency to the situation.
Overall, "Forgiven" is a song about recognizing past mistakes and acknowledging one's need for forgiveness and guidance.
Line by Line Meaning
Just another knowing what's been done,
Someone else who is aware of the mistakes made in the past
Or a sign of things to come, and you wonder,
Maybe it's an indication of future issues, and it's causing concern
We needing you of love inside,
We require love to fill our souls
Another front, but no tomorrow,
There's always a new challenge, but it might as well be the last
Never thought it would end like this,
The outcome was unexpected
Wish the days, living for the moment,
Longing for the bygone era where we lived in the present without worrying about tomorrow
Truly moments what I meant,
Genuine experiences are what I intended
Had a chance to make a difference,
An opportunity to change things
But I didn't try, my intentions
I didn't even make an effort despite having good intentions
Made a difference in another life,
Regardless, my actions impacted somebody else
Either way I knew the truth,
The truth was obvious to me
I knew the trouble I've,
I knew the problems that arose from my mistakes
Still I'll find you, in my life
Nevertheless, I'll always remember and seek out love
Forgive me, move o'er my head,
Please forgive me, I'm deeply sorry
Feels like I'm falling, I feel I'm already dead,
I'm feeling hopeless, like there's no way to recover
Say'n I'm lost without you,
I'm expressing how much I need you in my life
Now I'm standing at the edge,
I'm at the brink of something important
I can still hear familiar voices,
I can still hear people from my past who are familiar to me
Just talking from inside my head,
Yet, it's all in my mind
I remember making choices,
I remember choosing a particular path
I know I never should have said,
I realized that I made a mistake in what I said
Of course these thoughts,
It's natural to have these thoughts
Kept to close my minds eye,
I didn't want to open my mind to the possibilities
Full pissed on trivial conquest,
I was too focused on unimportant tasks
Remanary full of visionary,
I was once full of dreams and ambitious plans
Lost sight of you with all the rest
I lost track of love while pursuing other things
Rrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-a-a-a-a-ow
This is just an expressive sound and doesn't convey any particular meaning
Forgive me, move o'er my head,
Again, I'm asking for forgiveness
Feels like I'm falling, feel I'm already dead,
I'm going through intense emotional turmoil
Say'n I'm lost without you,
I'm saying that I can't go on without love
Now I'm standing at the edge,
I'm now at a crucial point in my life
Forgive me, move o'er my head,
As much as I'm sorry, I'm still asking for forgiveness
Feels like I'm falling, feel I'm already dead,
I'm still experiencing intense emotions
Say'n I'm lost without you,
I can't stress enough how much I need love
Now I'm standing at the edge,
I'm still at that critical juncture
Forgive me, move o'er my head,
Once more, I'm asking for forgiveness
Feels like I'm falling, feel I'm already dead,
I'm still feeling hopeless and lost
Say'n I'm lost without you,
Repeating the same message about needing love
Now I'm standing at the edge,
The song ends right where it began, emphasizing the importance of the current situation
