Forgiveness
Wamdue Project (feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
everything is all over...
Forgiveness; everything is all over...
Forgiveness...
Oh, life:
if there was ever any doubt in my mind, it's now.
And for the first time
I didn't think the answer could be answered
by anyone o'er than me...
think about it, dwell upon it;
try to find some clarity.
Didn't I give you enough?
What was wrong with me?
Dig it up... try to find
all that you can't see.
I want to love you; dunno if I can.
I want to give you one more chance.
Forgiveness: it comes so slow...
all is so uncertain, everything is unknown.
I want to love you; dunno know if I can.
I want to give you one more chance.
Forgiveness: it comes so slow...
all is so uncertain, everything is unknown.
Forgiveness, forgiveness;
everything is all over...
Forgiveness; everything is all over...
Forgiveness...
Oh, life:
if there was ever any doubt in my mind, it's now.
And for the first time
I think maybe we weren't meant to be.
I didn't think the answer could be answered
by anyone o'er than me...
think about it, dwell upon it;
try to find some clarity.
Didn't I give you enough?
What was wrong with me?
Dig it up... try to find
all that you can't see.
I want to love you; dunno if I can.
I want to give you one more chance.
Forgiveness: it comes so slow...
all is so uncertain, everything is unknown.
I want to love you; dunno know if I can.
I want to give you one more chance.
Forgiveness: it comes so slow...
all is so uncertain, everything is unknown.
Forgiveness...
Forgiveness...
Forgiveness...
Forgiveness...
My 'Angry Mode': it comes and it goes...
though it is a mystery
why I act so out of control
as to let my emotions get the best of me.
I can't help it; can't deny it.
There is anger; won't try to hide it.
Got to burn it; set it on fire.
Ashes blowin' in the sky and I wonder why...
Didn't I give you enough?
What was wrong with me?
Dig it up... try to find
all that you can't see.
I want to love you; dunno if I can.
I want to give you one more chance.
Forgiveness: it comes so slow...
all is so uncertain, everything is unknown.
I want to love you; dunno know if I can.
I want to give you one more chance.
Forgiveness: it comes so slow...
all is so uncertain, everything is unknown.
Forgiveness...

The song Forgiveness by Wamdue Project (feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn) is an emotional introspection about the concept of forgiveness in relationships. The lyrics open with the repetitive line “Forgiveness, forgiveness; everything is all over…” highlighting the theme of forgiving and letting go of past conflicts or hurt in relationships. The singer reflects on their doubts about the relationship and how they are unsure if they can love their partner and give them another chance.
In the chorus, the song emphasizes how forgiveness comes slow and that everything is uncertain and unknown. The singer is puzzled by their own sudden outbursts of anger, bringing to the forefront the idea that forgiving and moving on requires understanding and acknowledging one's own emotions. The song does not offer an explicit answer to the issue, but rather presents a heartfelt reflection on the challenges of forgiveness and the uncertainties of life.
