Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Versailles's song "Forbidden Gate" paint a surreal picture of a person looking up at the sun, trying to break through the clouds while being shadowed by a black figure floating in the air. The first two lines set the tone for the rest of the song, making the listener question if what they're experiencing is reality or just a fleeting dream. The image of burning arms falling off the body in the next line suggests that the singer is going through some sort of transformation to reach the "forbidden gate" that's presented in the chorus.


The chorus itself is the most poignant line, stating "I fall in the sky, forbidden gate." The imagery presented here is haunting, as the listener wonders if the singer has fallen from the sky or is diving towards the gate. The rest of the song is a series of questions, asking where they can go to forget and be forgotten, and if they jump off the cliff, will they still make it to their desired destination. The last verse also suggests that the singer has achieved what they were after by stating that the foolish one who submitted to death still exists within the music.


Overall, the lyrics to "Forbidden Gate" are abstract in their meaning, leaving the interpretation up to the listener. They're poetic and flow beautifully with the music, creating a haunting yet dreamy atmosphere.
