Forgotten
The Relapse Symphony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From restless nights I layed awake
A perfect life I have to fake
Every day's the same
Forced to hang my head in shame
My saving grace this melody
The only thing that sets me free
We're here to make our voices known
To take away the pain of darker days(woah)
We're standing right here by your side
You'll never be alone
These emotions running through my veins
I'm not okay
You can't break me down, it ends today
Not bound by fear through the dark it's clear
These words sincere that I hold dear
The only thing that sets me free
This is a song for the forgotten(woah)
We're here to make our voices know
To take away the pain of darker days(Woah)
We're standing right here by your side
You'll never be alone
(Guitar solo)
This is a song for the forgotten
We're here to make our voices known
To take away the pain of these dark days
And you'll never be alone
And you'll never be alone
And you'll never be alone
We'll take away the pain of these dark days
And you'll never be alone
The lyrics of The Relapse Symphony's song "Forgotten" address feelings of loneliness, pain, and emptiness. The singer's heart has grown cold from restless nights, and he is forced to fake a perfect life every day. However, the melody provides a saving grace and the only thing that sets him free. The chorus is a call to action for those who feel forgotten or isolated. The singer and his bandmates are there to make their voices known and take away the pain of darker days. They stand by their listeners’ side, assuring them that they will never be alone.
The verses seem to address the internal struggle and personal challenges the singer faces, with lines such as "These emotions running through my veins / I'm not okay.” Despite these difficulties, however, he holds onto a hope that he will not be bound by fear, and that the "words sincere" that he holds dear will be the thing that sets him free. The guitar solo adds an extra layer of emotion as the artist allows his feelings to be expressed through the instrument.
The chorus sums up the song's message that they are all in this together, and they are there to support those who feel forgotten. The repetition of the line "you'll never be alone" and the assurance that they will take away the pain of these dark days creates a sense of hope and encouragement for those who need it.
