Forget
Twin Shadow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They'll give us so much to forget
Or an offer to deal with it.
Or an offer to deal with it.
With pencil and knife
You heard your love again
You wrestled your nightmares, the sweat from your bedsheets
The winter sets in.
It has a way of crystallizing the bad times, the fevers, the heartaches
This is all of it, this is everyone I'm wanting to forget.
They'll give us something
They'll give us so much to forget
Or an offer to deal with it.
Or an offer to deal with it.
With pencil and knife
You heard your love again
You wrestled your nightmares, the sweat from your bedsheets
This is all of it, this is everything I'm wanting to forget.
The lyrics of the song Forget by Twin Shadow deal with the theme of overcoming one's past, particularly the hurtful memories that we often carry with us. The song begins by describing the people who offer us ways to forget our past, but it suggests that their solutions may not be the best. As the song continues, it describes the singer's struggle to deal with his own past as he remembers his "love again" and grapples with his "nightmares." The repetition of the line "this is everything I'm wanting to forget" serves to emphasize the weight that these memories carry.
The verses of the song are particularly poignant in their imagery. The line "with pencil and knife" suggests a desire to create or destroy, while "you wrestled your nightmares, the sweat from your bedsheets" paints a vivid picture of the singer's struggle to overcome his past. The final verse describes the winter setting in, evoking the idea of a cold and isolating season where everything is crystallized and made clear, for better or for worse.
Overall, the lyrics of Forget create a sense of longing for the ability to let go of painful memories and to move on from the past, while also acknowledging the difficulty and pain that come with doing so.

They’ll give us something;
They’ll give us so much to forget
Or enough rope to deal with it
They’ll give us something;
They’ll give us so much to forget
Or enough rope to deal with it

Those late nights on GTA online you spend when you are the last one of your friends still up, no fighting, no killing, you just fly, drive or sail where ever your controls take you

That’s me all the time. All my friends left GTA V years back and it’s just me now. I just cruise around the streets alone or fly around in Los Santos. I reminisce about the good times back when I was a noob in 2015.
Update: My account got reset by R* but it’s all good. I’m free now guys. Bye friends, change da world.

For all you people out there listening to this while driving alone across Los Santos, or anywhere, real or not, just know that someone, somewhere, is doing the same. You are never alone.
