Forgiven
The Metropole Orchestra/Within Temptation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love you so it hurts my soul
Can you forgive me for trying again
Your silence makes me hold my breath
Oh time has passed you by
Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
Ooh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven
I watched the clouds drifting away
Still the sun can't warm my face
I know it was destined to go wrong
You were looking for the great escape
To chase your demons away
Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own
And here I am left in silence
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven
I've been so lost since you've gone
Why not me before you?
Why did fate deceive me?
Everything turned out so wrong
Why did you leave me in silence?
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven
The lyrics to Forgiven by The Metropole Orchestra/Within Temptation have a feeling of sadness and regret. The singer is saying that they could not save their loved one from the beginning, but they still love them deeply. They are asking if they can be forgiven for trying again after failing to save them the first time. The silence of their loved one is making them hold their breath, waiting for a response. The singer acknowledges that time has passed and their loved one has moved on.
The second verse talks about how the singer tried to protect their loved one from the world, but they couldn't handle the freedom on their own. The singer is now left in silence, feeling abandoned by their loved one who gave up the fight and left them behind. They say that everything is forgiven because their loved one will always be theirs, and they know deep inside that forgiveness is necessary for both of them.
The song talks about the pain of losing someone you love and feeling guilty for not being able to save them. It also explores the idea of forgiveness and how it can be a healing act. The music is powerful and emotional, adding to the intensity of the lyrics.

Words can't do her justice. Wish I'd been there - but I hadn't even heard of her then. How could I when they never played her over here. They still don't. Unforgiveable.
