Forgiveness Lyrics

Forgiveness makes fools
Of all of us

Alone to face a hostile place
A moment's peace ain't coming
The constant cold cracking your bones
The stench of life worth living

The line in the sand ain't drawn for everyone
The flag in your hand don't make you American
Stripping your soul back, be forever young, forever young
Forever young

Forgiveness makes fools
Of all of us

Wake up, walk on, you are alone
The world you're in's too heavy
But soak your skin in love and sin
Falling like confetti

The line in the sand ain't drawn for everyone
The flag in your hand don't make you American
Stripping your soul back, be forever young, forever young
Forever young

Forgiveness makes fools
Of all of us
Forgiveness makes fools
Of all of us

The line in the sand ain't drawn for everyone
The flag in your hand don't make you American
Stripping your soul back, be forever young, forever young
Forever young

Forgiveness makes fools
Of all of us
Forgiveness makes fools
Of all of us

Forgiveness makes fools
Of all of us
Forgiveness makes fools
Of all of us

What is the Meaning of Forgiveness?

In a world where shadows stretch longer than the light, this haunting anthem delves deep into the human soul's struggle with absolution. The lyrics paint a picture of isolation and resilience, depicting a journey through life's relentless trials and tribulations. Forgiveness here isn't just an act; it's a paradox that ensnares us all, making fools out of even the wisest. The line in the sand symbolizes boundaries that are often blurred and subjective, while the flag represents identity that's more complex than mere symbols. As we strip our souls bare, seeking eternal youth and purity, we're reminded that love and sin fall upon us like confetti—beautiful yet transient. This evocative piece challenges us to face our inner conflicts, suggesting that true freedom lies not in perfection but in embracing our flawed humanity.
