In a world where we're often too engrossed in our own lives, this poignant tune serves as a gentle reminder of the forgotten ones. The lyrics weave a tale of neglect - be it towards people, emotions or Mother Earth herself. It nudges us to remember those we've chosen to ignore, highlighting that their absence leaves an indelible bruise on the collective consciousness. The song also underscores the universal need for a safe haven and protection, regardless of who we are or what we've been through. With its reference to the 'forgotten tongue', it subtly calls for love as a universal language that's unfortunately often overlooked. So folks, let's not forget to remember!
Forgotten Eyes
Lyrics
Forgotten eyes are the ones which we lose
Forgotten hands are the ones which we choose
To let go of, but it is no less a bruise
On the collective arm keeping us high and gone
Forgotten dance is the one left at birth
Forgotten plants in the fossils of earth
And they've long passed but they are no less the dirt
Of the common soil keeping us dry and warm
The wound has no direction
Everybody needs a home and deserves protection, hmm-mm
Hollow-eyed on Eddie street no sirens to hear
Just trash and soiled needles clawing the veneer
And no crying but it is no less a tear
On the common cheek with which we smile
Hollow-eyed on Eddie, is it they or is it I
Is it me who is more hollow as I'm quickly passing by?
And the poison is killing them, but then so am I
As I turn away
The wound has no direction
Everybody needs a home and deserves protection, hmm mm
Forgotten tongue is the language of love
Forgotten tongue is the language of love
Forgotten tongue is the language of love
Forgotten tongue
