As I Lay Dying "Forsaken"

This is my favorite As I Lay Dying song. With the guitar rifs, gallops and double bass on the drums, the screamer singer and the raw energy that these men procure, makes it a really beautiful sound to listen to. Parts of it are extremely heavy but to me, those parts make the softer one's that much more gorgeous. I think the meaning and I guess theme behind this song is forgiveness and regret. The lyrics talk about how they condemned this person from their life for their own selfish reasons and how they now regret doing so. I believe through the song, the band is asking for forgiveness. Enjoy :)

Lyrics:

I've looked straight into your eyes
And turned my head for the last time
Because I was scared to leave these walls in ruin
Like the fate of those who trust in themselves

We are alone and afraid

I know you are the one we left behind
Yet somehow we are the ones who are alone
you are the one we left behind
you are the one we left be...

I will no longer turn my head
I will never forget you
You are the one we left behind
You are the forsaken

We've built our confidence
On broken dreams now left for dead
Yet we've been condemned
To chase these dreams that never end

I know you are the one we left behind
Yet somehow we are the ones who are alone
you are the one we left behind
you are the one we left be...

Our selfishness consumes us
Until the whole world is not enough
Forgive the day that I erased your name
that I erased your name
For it's the memory of me that will decay

I know you are the forsaken
Yet somehow we are the ones who feel alone
I know you are the forsaken
Yet somehow we are the ones who feel alone
