Forever Abandoned
The Agony Scene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The deepest cuts are traced in red
So beautiful
The separation of her flesh from the razor
Feeling a pain she's never known
Like broken glass
Draining the blood that's running cold
It's kiss like a last goodbye
As she's taken herself from me
Forever abandoned
Eyes held open, the bitter taste of blood and sweat
The emptiness
The suffocates a final breath, endless silence
That dulls the pain beneath her skin
Her vacant eyes watching the blood that's running thin
She tasted eternity
Its kiss like a last goodbye
She's taken herself from me
FOREVER ABANDONED!
The Agony Scene's song Forever Abandoned is a dark and intense portrayal of suicide. The lyrics describe the pain and agony of a person who has cut their wrists and is bleeding out. The opening lines "wrists are severed, the deepest cuts are traced in red, so beautiful" paint a vivid picture of the self-inflicted wounds. The desperation and hopelessness of the singer are conveyed through the lines, "feeling a pain she's never known, like broken glass, draining the blood that's running cold."
The chorus reveals the ultimate outcome of the singer's actions - "she's taken herself from me, forever abandoned." It's clear that this is a deeply personal and emotional experience for the person singing the song, who is left to deal with the aftermath of the suicide. The final verse describes the aftermath of the suicide, with the singer's "vacant eyes" watching the blood "running thin." The use of powerful imagery throughout the song, combined with the raw emotion of the lyrics and the intense instrumentals, makes for a harrowing listening experience.

Wrists are severed

The deepest cuts are traced in red
The cuts on her wrists are so deep that they are outlined in crimson
So beautiful
Despite the gruesome injuries, there is a strange beauty to the scene

The razor blade has cut so deep that it appears as though her flesh is detached from the blade itself

The pain inflicted by the cuts is unlike anything she has ever experienced before
Like broken glass
The sensation feels as though her insides are being shredded like shards of broken glass

Eyes held open, the bitter taste of blood and sweat

The emptiness
A void of absence and nothingness fills the space where she once was
The suffocates a final breath, endless silence
Silence takes over and quietens the sound of her last breath, creating a sense of infinity in the moment
That dulls the pain beneath her skin
The overwhelming sensation of nothingness numbs the physical pain of her wounds
Her vacant eyes watching the blood that's running thin
Despite her lifeless state, her eyes remain open and unresponsive, watching as the blood slowly stops flowing
She's taken herself from me
The subject has willfully separated herself from the artist and from life
FOREVER ABANDONED!
The subject has abandoned the singer and life for all of eternity

It's pretty sad actually (the lyrics.) You wonder if the singer had a girlfriend commit suicide or something...
bruh
I know I'm damn late to reply but that seems to be a recurring theme in metal, usually the songs are about really sad but true topics...can't say i don't like it though as that's one of the main reasons why i listen to this kind of music
