Forgive Me
Rock City | www.Marvin-Vibez.in Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Forgive me for all that I've said
Forgive me for all I've never Meant
I've never been so broken
I've never felt this hopeless
If I die tonight it's still a beautiful Life
But I'll still pray that I am dead By day light
Be here for me I'm here for you
Help push me through this world

This world is dark and I am Alone
Please be here for me
I'm going through things I've Never seen
Is this my home
Is this where I belong

Oh no no
Oh no no

The troubles I have in my life are Trying to find the light
On my path where I am
I'm not strong where I stand
Am I the man I say I am
I just want to do right
And not live in a lie

Debating if this is a dream
Myself in the mirror is not who I See
I must be in the wrong lane
The shadows of me have not Changed
My actions hold me accountable For any time I was doubtful

Oh no no
Oh no no

Overall Meaning

In "Forgive Me," Rock City is pleading for forgiveness for everything that he has said or done, as well as for anything he has failed to do throughout his life. He opens the song by admitting his brokenness and hopelessness, suggesting that he would still perceive life as beautiful if he were to die that very night. However, he expresses his hope that he dies during broad daylight and prays to be dead as he seeks to be forgiven for the things he has done. He pleads with someone to be there for him throughout his journey in this world, urging them to help push him through the darkness that he feels he's alone in. The singer is evidently overwhelmed by the things he’s experiencing, and he poses a question of whether or not he’s in the right place, stating that he’s never been through such things. The tune's chorus continually plays out with the phrase "Oh no no," which serves to accentuate the singer's sense of powerlessness and desperation.

In the following verse, Rock City admits that his struggles are related to his ongoing journey to find himself. He is not "strong" where he is standing and asks himself if he is genuinely the individual he believes himself to be. He lays bare his quest for self-discovery, expressing a desire not to live a life of deception. He appears to be conflicted about whether or not his present reality is a figment of his imagination, stating that his reflection in the mirror isn’t who he sees. He believes that he is living in the incorrect “lane,” implying that he must change his approach if he hopes to be happy. In the final chorus, he repeats the refrain, "Oh no no," further emphasizing his feelings of helplessness.
