Forgotten Days
Sicksense & Vicky Psarakis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make me clean up your mess?
I don't recognize you anymore
Every time you're depressed
So what's your latest excuse?
Go medicate yourself
Until you realize there's nothing left
You throw it all awayI just
I don't, know, what, why?
I see my reflection
But I'm not that guy
Each time that I slip
I just can't get up
I throw up and I choke
Fuck, I've had enough
I can't take no more
So I drown the pain
Popping pills with my liquor
As I'm shooting up a vein
I dug a hole so deep
It's lookin' like a grave
My demons get the best of me
I'm enslaved
Forgotten days have gone by
Too many trials amassed
Just salt your wounds
Your sins will come to pass
Forgotten days have gone by
Too many trials amassed
So live with your scars
Your pain will cease at last
It tears a hole through my skin
It eats away at my soulGot nothing left to give
My actions leave me un-whole
With my agony
I can't take another second
This is not who I'm supposed to be
Hush little angel
Don't you say another word
When you let go of the anger
Your voice surely will be heard
Hasn't anyone told you it's darkest before the dawn?
Your troubles will soon be gone
How do I carry on?
Forgotten days have gone by
Too many trials amassed
Just salt your wounds
Your sins will come to pass
Forgotten days have gone by
Too many trials amassed
So live with your scars
Your pain will cease at last
Your time ain't up
So take your stand
I'll show you the way
Just take my hand
Break through
I'm not alone
With you by my side
I won't face it on my own
This is not what's meant to be
My vices will not chain me
Forgotten days have gone by
Too many trials amassed
Just salt your wounds
Your sins will come to pass
Forgotten days have gone by
Too many trials amassed
So live with your scars
Your pain will cease at last
Oh
Cease at last
Oh your pain
Your pain will cease at last
The song "Forgotten Days" by Sicksense and Vicky Psarakis delves into the complexities of personal struggle, emotional turmoil, and the journey toward healing. The opening lines convey a sense of frustration and abandonment, where the singer confronts another person who repeatedly creates chaos in their life but fails to take responsibility for it. This relationship is deeply strained as the singer feels unrecognized by this person, especially during their bouts of depression. Rather than offering support, the person seems to retreat into self-medication, further complicating the emotional landscape. This creates a dichotomy where the singer feels like they are cleaning up someone else's mess repeatedly, leading to a sense of exhaustion and bewilderment as they grapple with their own identity while dealing with the fallout of anotherβs struggles.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that this struggle is not just about the other person's impact but also about the singer's own descent into despair and addiction. The raw imagery of βdrowning the painβ through pills and liquor highlights the depth of the singer's despair, illustrating how escapism is both a temporary relief and a dangerous coping mechanism. They express feelings of inadequacy and chaos, symbolically digging a grave for themselves as they succumb to their demons. This visceral representation of their internal battle emphasizes the weight of the trauma they carry, and it is evident that the singer feels trappedβenslaved by their vices, continually battling suicidal ideation and an identity crisis that limits their ability to rise above their circumstances.
The refrain that "forgotten days have gone by" suggests a loss of time and a missed opportunity for healing, emphasizing that the trials endured have piled up to an overwhelming degree. The phrase βjust salt your woundsβ is striking in its visceral invitation to confront pain instead of running from it; it echoes the idea that acknowledging oneβs suffering is a crucial part of the healing process. Moreover, the lines about living with scars evoke resilienceβthe scars signify past battles that must be accepted to move forward. The singerβs journey is portrayed as one fraught with difficulty, as they grapple with feelings of hollowness and unworthiness, yet there remains a glimmer of hope as they consider taking action toward recovery and renewal.
In the latter part of the song, there is a significant shift toward messages of hope and camaraderie. The encouragement to βtake your standβ and βbreak throughβ illustrates a desire for empowerment against the haunting memories and painful realities that have plagued them. The metaphor of having an βangelβ speaks to an internal or external figure guiding them through the hardest times and reminding them that they are not alone. The reassurance that βyour pain will cease at lastβ brings a message of optimism and healing, suggesting that while the road is arduous, it is also navigable with support. This concluding theme celebrates resilience and the potential for recovery, emphasizing that facing oneβs demons head-on can lead to liberation from the chains of despair. Through acknowledging their history, embracing their scars, and recognizing the importance of support, both the singer and the listener are invited to envision a future free of suffering.
