Forget
Jill Paquette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As they float inside my head?
And why is it when I wake up late to see the sun set
I go back to bed disappointed?
But wondering why
Never got me anywhere before
And I
Can't seem to get You out of my mind
forget about it
Don't wanna cure my ignorance, I've needed it far too long
Why do I get the feeling
All the answers to my questions are drawing nearer?
And why is it that when it's almost time
That that time never really seems to get here?
How can I see
What I don't understand
And if You were me
Could You set yourself free
And find a way to forget about it
Forget about it
If I knew the answers I might see that something's wrong
And I want to forget about it
'Cause I can live without it
I don't wanna cure my ignorance, I've needed it far too long
Tell me the answer for my troubled mind
I think all this soul-searching might do something to help me yet
'Cause I just can't forget...
The light it gives me a headache, makes my pulse race
Why can't I look directly at You?
I've heard them say You're the answer, You're my father
But is all of that really true?
How could I
Doubt You for so long?
And why
Do I make the questions harder?
I can no longer forget about it
Forget about it
My pride forgotten I admit that I was so wrong
And I can't forget about it
'Cause there's no getting around it
Ignorance is no excuse
For something I have always known
The lyrics of Jill Paquette’s song Forget are introspective and reflective in nature. The song begins with questions as to why the solutions to her problems seem to elude her and she finds herself disappointed. Even when she feels that the answers to her questions may draw nearer, she still seems to hesitate and question her own understanding of them. The song then takes more of a spiritual turn as she begins to question her doubts about God and the concept of him being her father. She realizes that her pride had caused her to doubt him for so long and she could no longer forget about the truth of his existence. Paquette seems to suggest that sometimes we get so caught up in our own thoughts and doubts that we forget what we have always known to be true.
The song’s focus on self-reflection and the search for answers resonates with anyone who has had doubts, insecurities or uncertainties regarding their life’s purpose. Throughout the song, Jill Paquette’s vocals add a personal touch, creating a feeling of intimacy between her and the listener. Her repeated, “Forget about it” reminds the listener that it is important to acknowledge one’s doubts in order to eventually let them go. At the same time, the song acknowledges that it is not always easy to do so, and admitting one’s own ignorance is an important part of the self-reflection.
