Nural Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't question my direction but intentions for this saving
Slowly losing this heart
And now what have I done
My reach, falling short just when you needed me
And I won't bring myself to care
Forgive me I rely on my own knowing
I share the burdens carried on the heart of one in need knowing, I'm weighed down as well
And I don't question my direction but intentions for this saving
Slowly losing this heart
Now what have I done
My reach, falling short just when you needed me
And I won't bring myself to care
Forgive me I rely on my own knowing
And we see
That this bridge, is burning and I don't wish to smother it, but get warm
This bridge, is burning and I don't wish to smother it, but get warm
And now what have I done
My reach, falling short just when you needed me
And I won't bring myself to care
Forgive me I rely on my own knowing
And we see
Lord what have I done, my reach obtaining only that which could end me
So don't be caught in crossfire
Forgive me I rely on my own knowing
And we see where it's taking me
The lyrics of Nural's song "Forgive Me" express feelings of guilt and regret for not being there for someone who needed help. The singer acknowledges the burden that the other person carried and how they also feel weighed down by it. They don't question their direction in trying to save them, but their intentions for doing so. However, they feel like they are slowly losing their heart in the process.
As the song progresses, the singer realizes that they have fallen short of helping the person in need. They won't bring themselves to care because they rely on their own knowing, which they admit is leading them astray. They see that the bridge between them and the other person is burning, and they don't want to smother it but get warmth from it.
The singer continues to ask for forgiveness and acknowledges that their own knowing has led them to obtain only what could end them. They don't want the other person to be caught in the crossfire of their mistakes. The song ends with a reflection on where their actions have taken them.
Overall, "Forgive Me" is a powerful message about the importance of being there for someone in need, even if it means setting aside our own desires and intentions. It's about the consequences of relying too much on ourselves and not considering how our actions affect others.
