Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
top of the tree
I lay down to have
two dreams
and one is dark
the other clean
how'm i sposed to know
oh how oh
How can I tell you bout the power of
Forgiveness
Forgicveness
When you have given me nothing to
Nothing to forgive
Nothing to forgive
Something rolls down
my skin like paint
Hang me on the wall
Just how u like
Sometimes I'll show
You what you want
Sometimes I'll show
You nothing at all
Oh how, oh-oh
How can I tell you 'bout the power of
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
When you have given me nothing to
Nothing to forgive
Nothing to forgive
How can I tell you bout the power of
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
When you have given me nothing to
Nothing to forgive
Nothing to forgive
The song "Forgive" by Porches featuring Greta Kline is a haunting melody that explores the intricacies of love and forgiveness. In the opening lines, the singer admits to their love for another person, and they proceed to describe a paradoxical situation where they have two dreams, one dark and one clean, but they cannot decipher either of them. This scenario represents the uncertainty and confusion that the singer experiences in their relationship.
Throughout the song, we see that the singer is in a complicated relationship that lacks closure, and they struggle to forgive the other person for their actions. The lyrics "When you have given me nothing to forgive" reflect the singer's perception that the other person has no apologies or explanations for their behavior. This lack of catharsis makes it difficult for the singer to move on and forgive, no matter how much they love the other person.
In the end, the song remains unresolved, much like the singer's situation, leaving the audience with a lingering sense of unease. The song's melancholic tone and hauntingly beautiful vocals add to the poignancy of the lyrics, making it a moving exploration of love, forgiveness, and the complexities of human relationships.

@Mrmizel
This could have seriously been a hit single in the 80's. But oh, in today's god-awful top music charts, this can only survive in obscurity.
