In this emotionally charged track, Korn delves into themes of control, loss of identity, and the struggle for self-recognition. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who feels manipulated and diminished, likening themselves to a "plaything" at the mercy of another's whims. As the protagonist confronts these feelings, there's a poignant realization that their current path is not aligned with their true self. This acknowledgment leads to a sense of liberation from false needs and desires that have been imposed upon them. Ultimately, "Forgotten" is about shedding these layers of external influence and rediscovering one's core essence which has been overshadowed and neglected in the pursuit of appeasing others.
