The Forecast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's five am and the city's sleeping and I'm not that far behind, now"
"Just stay for one more drink and I will let you go
Because nights like this don't happen anymore"
"Let's talk about all the feelings that we have
Like life, love, pain, and regret"
"The only thing I regret is not speaking my mind
And that it's too late to fall back on my word"
Way down deep in our heads
We know we can't let this happen
It's Friday night and the city lights are dancing on my eyes
So will you drive me home?
Rain pours on the road coast to coast and you'll be home
Unless you call me
If I called and said hello and shared the secrets that I hold
Would you run or stay with me tonight?
Way down deep in our heads
We know we can't let this happen
It's Friday night and the city lights are dancing on my eyes
So will you drive me home?
Rain pours on the road coast to coast and you'll be home
Unless you call me
If I called and said hello and shared the secrets that I hold
Would you run or stay with me tonight?
"My world holds your weight boy, my world holds your weight
You'll be gone in the morning, so call back todayโ
The song "Exorcise Demons" by The Forecast is a melancholic tune that speaks to the feeling of regret and missed opportunities. The lyrics resonate with the fear of losing someone and not being able to express one's feelings in time. The song takes place when the city is asleep and the singer is feeling the isolation that comes with the night. The singer reminisces about the past and all the feelings they have, such as life, love, pain, and regret. They reveal that the one thing they regret is not speaking their mind and that it's too late to fall back on their word. The singer is caught in their own head and fears that they cannot let this happen, even though it's getting late and they have to leave. They suggest they could stay for a drink but that nights like this don't happen anymore.
The chorus of the song speaks about the pressing feeling of wanting to talk about what's happening but being unable or unwilling to do so. The singer wants to connect with the listener, but they are caught in their head and unable to break free. The song's bridge reveals that it is Friday night, and the world outside is bustling with activity, but the singer and the listener are standing still, frozen in time. The singer is hesitant to leave and wants the listener to drive them home, but they are afraid of what might happen if they stay the night. The song ends with the singer wanting to confess their secrets to the listener but fearing that they might run away or leave in the morning.

I have been wearing this song out, coming through a dark period, I have followed this band since they came out and I still love their music. Super cathartic.
@trevornew9278
Brittany Belton lol I just revisited this song from back when I had the album probably 14 years ago. And my gf wasnโt digging it๐ she said it sounds like something sheโd listen to when she was 14. I like to revisit songs like this for the nostalgia and emotion sometimes tho lol
@daveschmit9701

@amarcinka131
@Zach Moore I completely agree with this, her voice is such a sharp contrast to his, it absolutely isnt the greatest or anything but the way it works is frigggen wonderful for their sound
