Forgiven
I the Breather Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These demons won't last a minute
No these demons won't last another minute
In this war
They won't last in this war
They won't last in this war
They won't last
Resurrected from the dead
I'm forgiven
I
Leave it to myself
To put you in place
I leave it to myself
To put you in place
How can it be? We were so lost in ourselves
Hold on to me (why were we so deceived?)
How can it be? We were so lost in ourselves
Hold on to me (why were we so deceived?)
This could be what sets you free (what sets you free)
I believed in you put your trust in me
Fooled to think I'd gone for eternity
Your theories can't provide what I can for you
You forgave me, so forgive the free
Oh God
How can it be? We were so lost in ourselves
Hold on to me (why were we so deceived?)
How can it be? We were so lost in ourselves
Hold on to me (why were we so deceived?)
How can it be? We were so lost in ourselves
Hold on to me (why were we so deceived?)
How can it be? We were so lost in ourselves
Hold on to me (why were we so deceived?)
The lyrics of "Forgiven" by I the Breather showcase a battle fought by the singer, against the demons present within oneself. The song begins with the singer, possibly in a state of despair, calling out to God, and stating that the demons won't last another minute in this battle against the lord. The entire song follows the internal conflict of the singer, as they try to understand their place in the world and their relationship with their creator.
Amidst the chaos and confusion, the singer realizes that they have been forgiven and have been resurrected by the lord from the dead. They take responsibility for their actions, as they leave it up to themselves to correct their mistakes and put themselves in their rightful place. The song ends with the singer seeking reassurance, as they ask why they were so deceived in the past.
Overall, "Forgiven" is a song that delves deep into the internal struggles of the human mind and the conflict of an individual with their own demons. It depicts the power of forgiveness and the belief in a higher power that can help one overcome their inner battles.

If this is how they chose to express their beliefs than so be, because they're doing it in a way that catches peoples attention. And I love it personally.

The only thing I have against the vocalist is that he needs to open his eyes.
