Forgot My Name
Seb Adams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a million voices all around me
They're coming at me like a tsunami
I wonder
Can I make 'em stop
Can I make 'em all shut up
I would be okay if you just forgot my name
I would be okay if you just forgot my name
Now if the odds are in our favor we may meet again
If I would be a super hero
Know what my power'd be
Of all the options I would pick invisibility
And I'd be faceless so nobody'd be able to see
When emotions come up to the surface to breathe
And I don't want to suppress 'em
But I also don't wanna show
I'd rather disappear into the void
Enjoy them alone
Sometimes I wish I was nameless
So nobody would know
Until that time I'd be fine if you just forgot
I would be okay if you just forgot my name
I would be okay if you just forgot my name
I would be okay if you just forgot my name
I would be okay if you just forgot my name
The lyrics to Seb Adams's song "Forgot My Name" explore the concept of wanting to escape from the overwhelming pressures of the world. The singer describes being in the middle of a hurricane, symbolizing the chaos and noise surrounding them. They feel bombarded by countless voices, representing the expectations and opinions of others. This intense bombardment is compared to a tsunami, emphasizing the overwhelming nature of these external forces.
Amidst this chaos, the singer questions whether they have the power to make these voices stop or shut up. They express a desire for anonymity and a longing to be forgotten. The idea of forgetting their name becomes a metaphor for wanting to escape the weight of their identity and the expectations attached to it.
In the second verse, the singer suggests that if they were a superhero, they would choose the power of invisibility. This power would allow them to be faceless and concealed, rendering themselves inaccessible to others. They yearn to disappear into the void, away from the prying eyes and judgments of the world. They admit to grappling with their emotions and not wanting to suppress them, but also not wanting to reveal them openly. The desire for privacy and solitude in experiencing and processing emotions becomes evident.
Ultimately, the singer expresses a longing to be nameless, wishing that nobody would know who they are. They convey a willingness for others to forget their name as a means of finding solace and relief from the burdens associated with their identity.

In the middle of a hurricane
Feeling surrounded by chaos and turmoil
I got a million voices all around me
Being overwhelmed by numerous opinions and thoughts
They're coming at me like a tsunami
Feeling bombarded and overwhelmed by the intensity of these voices
I wonder
Questioning and contemplating
Can I make 'em stop
Desiring to silence the overwhelming voices
Can I make 'em all shut up
Wanting the voices to cease completely
I would be okay if you just forgot my name
Feeling a sense of relief and freedom if others no longer remember or recognize me
Today we met as strangers and we'll part the same way
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of relationships and connections
Now if the odds are in our favor we may meet again
Acknowledging the possibility of future encounters if circumstances align
If I would be a super hero
Imagining oneself as a superhero
Know what my power'd be
Considering what unique ability or skill to possess
Of all the options I would pick invisibility
Choosing to be unseen and unnoticed
And I'd be faceless so nobody'd be able to see
Desiring to be absent and indistinguishable
When emotions come up to the surface to breathe
When intense feelings emerge and demand attention
And I don't want to suppress 'em
Not wanting to repress or stifle these emotions
But I also don't wanna show
Simultaneously not wanting to display these emotions openly
I'd rather disappear into the void
Preferring to vanish and escape into nothingness
Enjoy them alone
Finding solace and comfort in experiencing emotions privately
Sometimes I wish I was nameless
Occasionally desiring to be unknown and unrecognized
So nobody would know
To avoid others knowing or identifying oneself
Until that time I'd be fine if you just forgot
Until that point, being content if others simply forget
I would be okay if you just forgot my name
Expressing contentment and acceptance if others no longer remember or acknowledge one's identity
I would be okay if you just forgot my name
Reiterating the sentiment of being at ease if one's name is forgotten
I would be okay if you just forgot my name
Continuing to emphasize the state of peace and acceptance in being forgotten
I would be okay if you just forgot my name
Once again asserting the sense of contentment and tranquility in being unrecognized

Honestly not sure if my favorite song off the album is this or barefoot, they're both amazing. As is the rest of the album.

Thank you so much! 😁🧡

Wow. I can’t believe for the first time in my life my comment may actually be seen by the artist. I just need to say I’ve lost myself for a while and the YouTube algorithm has been pushing it but it brought me to your music and thank god it did, I mean if it didn’t I’d still feel like the vibes left my soul leaving it adrift in the void
@SebAdams
I'm also glad it did! Thank you for listening <3
