Forgiveness
Kwan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in hide's a place for me
where lie the fractured fancies...we held dear
I haven't got the strength for fighting anymore
I've begun accepting, used to being low
can't remember how it used to go
suppose I knew laughter
must've been good in my thoughts
And now your creeping in my mind, making me tell lies
like I love you and it's all gonna be just fine
gotta break it now I hate you and I just don't care
Why should I beg for forgiveness...
It came to me quite slowly
I didn't want to see
my heart was just a blacken playground
could this mean there is no
points of sanity
Give my heart and the rest of my soul
if you leave, I lost myself in loving you
The song Forgiveness by Kwan is a ballad about coping with heartbreak and accepting the inevitable. The lyrics describe a state of despair that one finds oneself in, far away from the time in which happy memories were created. The singer longs for a place of understanding, a place where the happy memories of the past are still cherished. It is, however, clear that it is difficult for the singer to fight, and they have become accustomed to being low, accepting their current state. The sentiment of the lyricist is demonstrated through the phrase, “I haven't got the strength for fighting anymore / I've begun accepting, used to being low / can't remember how it used to go.” A possible explanation for this mindset is that the singer has gone through a tumultuous and painful experience, the exact details of which are not specified.
The song is also about deception and lies. The singer describes being in a state of confusion brought on by heartbreak, where their mind is creeping and taking control of their actions. As a result, they begin to tell lies even though it is only a temporary solution. The lyrics, “like I love you and it's all gonna be just fine / gotta break it now I hate you and I just don't care” demonstrates how the singer is trying to grasp onto anything to deal with their pain. However, they eventually come to terms with their situation and refuse to beg for forgiveness.
Line by Line Meaning
Far away from this time
I am detached from the present and dwelling in the past
in hide's a place for me
I have secluded myself from the world
where lie the fractured fancies...we held dear
In this isolation, I am confronted with the shattered dreams and hopes we once cherished
I haven't got the strength for fighting anymore
I am too drained to keep fighting this battle
I've begun accepting, used to being low
I have learned to accept defeat and have trained myself to live with this pain
can't remember how it used to go
I have lost all memory of what true happiness feels like
suppose I knew laughter
I vaguely remember what being happy could have been like
must've been good in my thoughts
But now even the memory of happiness does not bring me any solace
And now your creeping in my mind, making me tell lies
You have returned and I am now lying to myself to avoid the pain you bring
like I love you and it's all gonna be just fine
I try to convince myself that I still love you and everything will work out
gotta break it now I hate you and I just don't care
But in reality, I despise you and am indifferent to your presence
Why should I beg for forgiveness...
I refuse to plead for your forgiveness
It came to me quite slowly
It took a while for me to understand
I didn't want to see
I was avoiding the truth
my heart was just a blacken playground
My heart was a dark and lifeless place
could this mean there is no
This realization led me to think that there is nothing left
points of sanity
Even my sanity was slipping away
Give my heart and the rest of my soul
I have given my whole being to you
if you leave, I lost myself in loving you
And if you leave me now, I will be lost forever because I was so caught up in loving you.
