Long Since Forgotten recorded their first full length album "All The Things You Said..." in late 2001 with Ed Rose (The Get Up Kids, Reggie and the Full Effect, Ultimate Fakebook, The Appleseed Cast, Coalesce, and The Casket Lottery). With that record complete, Long Since Forgotten signed with Rocketstar Recordings and released "All the Things You Said..." in the summer of 2002. The album art is picture of a small tabletop jukebox from Cosmo's Restaurant, located on Marshall Street on the Syracuse University campus.
Touring relentlessly since recording "All The Things You Said...", Long Since Forgotten has continued to win over fans across the country. Two East Coast tours in June 2002 and October 2003, three full U.S. tours - September 2002, April to June 2003 and January to April 2004 - as well as countless weekend tours of the North East have helped to establish Long Since Forgotten as one of the industry's most promising up-and-coming rock bands.
During June of their Spring 2003 tour, Long Since Forgotten recorded their second full-length for Rocketstar Recordings at Blacklodge Studios, again working with Ed Rose. Now more mature in song writing and more cohesive as a group, Long Since Forgotten felt these sessions had produced their best work to date. The 13 track album, titled "Standing Room Only," was released on January 27th 2004. With support from Earshot Media and McGathy Radio Promotions as well as Long Since Forgotten's endless touring and Street Team activity, "Standing Room Only" debuted at #54 on the CMJ top 200 one week prior to its release, and has found its way into the hearts of thousands of fans, new and old, from all over the country.
Long Since Forgotten's constant touring schedule in support of "Standing Room Only" included a full U.S. Tour in July and August as well as international dates in Mexico and Japan.
In late 2007, the group released its fourth LP, The Theft (EVO Records) which was issued in Japan before seeing a release in the United States. This was the their last release before disbanding in 2009.

Don'T Ask Why
Long Since Forgotten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd like to say it's getting better.
And in conclusion I'd like to say it's only fair.
It's not about anything in particular because you don't care.
I'd like to tell you something that would matter
And take away the things that make you cry.
Now words that could be said you'll never hear them, but don't ask why.
I passed a street that takes me far away.
A given chance becomes a chance not taken because I don't care.
I'd like you to say something that would matter
And to see the person that you've learned to hide.
Now words that could be said I'll never hear them.
The song "Don't Ask Why" by Long Since Forgotten talks about a relationship that has soured over time. The singer reflects on how they wish they could make things better and take away the pain that their partner feels. However, they realize that their partner has stopped caring, and nothing they say or do will make a difference. The line "it's not about anything in particular because you don't care" highlights the apathy that has crept in and how the relationship has lost its spark.
The singer also talks about the missed opportunities they had to make things right. They passed a street that could have taken them away from all their problems, but they didn't take the chance, reinforcing the feeling of stagnancy and lack of action in the relationship. The line "I thought that I heard a voice that sounded like you" also highlights the sense of missed connections and how the relationship has drifted apart.
The chorus, with the repetition of the phrase "now words that could be said, I'll never hear them, don't ask why," reveals the emotional distance between the couple. The singer suggests that asking why is futile because there may never be a clear answer. It is a poignant reminder that sometimes, relationships deteriorate beyond repair, and no amount of apologies, explanations, or efforts can fix it.

"The Forgotten" lyrics
Where in the world’s the forgotten?
They’re lost inside your memory
You’re dragging on, your heart’s been broken
As we all go down in history
Where in the world did the time go?
It’s where your spirit seems to roam
Like losing faith to our abandon
Or an empty hallway from a broken home
Well don’t look away from the arms of a bad dream
Don’t look away, sometimes you’re better lost than to be seen
I don’t feel strange, it’s more like haunted
Another moment trapped in time
I can’t quite put my finger on it
But it’s like a child that was left behind
So where in the world’s the forgotten?
Like soldiers from a long lost war
We share the scars from our abandon
And what we remember becomes folklore
Well, don’t look away from the arms of a bad dream
Don’t look away, sometimes you’re better lost than to be seen
Don’t look away from the arms of a moment
Don’t look away from the arms of tomorrow
Don’t look away from the arms of a moment
Don’t look away from the arms of love
Well, don’t look away from the arms of a bad dream
Don’t look away, sometimes you’re better lost than to be seen
Don’t look away from the arms of a moment
Don’t look away from the arms of tomorrow
Don’t look away from the arms of a moment
Don’t look away from the arms of love

We're in the worlds of forgotten
And lost inside your memory
You're dragging on, your heart's been broken
Cause we all go down in history
Where in the world did the time go?
It's where your spirit seems to roam
Like losing faith to our abandon
Or an empty hallway from a broken home
Don't look away
From the arms of a bad dream
Don't look away
Sometimes you're better lost than to be seen
I don't feel strange, it's more like haunted
Another moment trapped in time
I can't quite put my finger on it
But it's like a child that was left behind
So we're in the worlds of forgotten
Like soldiers from a long lost war
We share the scars from our abandon
And what we remember becomes folklore
Well don't look away
From the arms of a bad dream
Don't look away
Sometimes you're better lost than to be seen
Don't look away
From the arms of a moment
Don't look away
From the arms of tomorrow
Don't look away
From the arms of a moment
Don't look away
From the arms of love
Don't look away
From the arms of a bad dream
Don't look away
Sometimes you're better lost than to be seen
Don't look away
From the arms of a moment
Don't look away
From the arms of tomorrow
Don't look away
From the arms of a moment
Don't look away
From the arms of love

@allanhope7018
I've loved you guys ever since 1994. You've been there for me through all of the times I've felt I couldn't be there for myself. I have three tattoos on my right arm of your album art. Kerplunk, American Idiot and the triple album. I plan to eventually finish the whole sleeve of your album art. I saw you live in London, Ontario in March of 2017 for the first time. I just want some sort of recognition that I my life means something after all. I'm not usually star struck or any of that shit, but you guys and your music stopped me from committing suicide years ago. It would mean the world to me to get some sort of response, and so little time out of your day. please?
