Seventh Seal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
leaving only ruin behind
taking control of this life
assuming all of this is mine
days go by and still I see nothing
time is limited by the mind
I have been...
Forsaken by all the lies...
why am I here
this world can give me nothing
The song "Forsaken" by Seventh Seal has profound lyrics that convey a strong sense of desperation and hopelessness. The opening lines "confusion infects your mind, leaving only ruin behind, taking control of this life, assuming all of this is mine" seem to describe a state of mental turmoil, where the singer is unable to find meaning or direction in their life. The lines "days go by and still I see nothing, time is limited by the mind" suggest a sense of stagnation and frustration – the passage of time feels meaningless and pointless. The chorus "Forsaken by all the lies, forsaken and left alone" seems to capture the sense of being abandoned and betrayed by the people and institutions that were supposed to support the singer.
The last line "why am I here, this world can give me nothing" is a powerful statement of despair and resignation. The singer feels disconnected from the world and unable to find any purpose or meaning in life. The song speaks to a deep sense of alienation and disconnection that many people feel, and it does so with honesty and raw emotion. The repeated refrain of "forsaken" adds to the sense of hopelessness and loneliness that the singer is experiencing.
Line by Line Meaning
confusion infects your mind
Your mind is twisted and unclear
leaving only ruin behind
Your actions leave destruction wherever you go
taking control of this life
You're trying to take charge of your existence
assuming all of this is mine
You're presuming ownership over things you don't possess
days go by and still I see nothing
Time passes without progress or change
time is limited by the mind
Your own thoughts hold you back from success
I have been...
You've experienced something unpleasant
Forsaken by all the lies...
You've been betrayed and abandoned by dishonesty
Forsaken and left alone...
You feel completely abandoned and isolated
why am I here
You question your purpose and existence
this world can give me nothing
You believe you lack fulfillment and satisfaction in life
