Forgiven Not Forgotten - The Corrs

The Corrs
Miscellaneous
Forgiven, Not Forgotten

All alone, staring on
Watching our life go by
When our days are grey
and our nights are black
Different shades of mundane
And the one-eyed furry toy
that lies upon the bed
has often heard us cry
and heard us whisper out a name
long forgiven, but not forgotten
.
(Chorus)
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're not forgotten
.

A bleeding heart torn apart
Left on an icy grave
And the room where we
once sit, face to face
Nothing could get in our way
but now the memories of the man
are haunting our days
And the craving never fades

We're still dreaming of the man
long forgiven, but not forgotten
.
(Chorus)
.
Still alone, staring on
Wishing our life goodbye
As we go searching for the man
long forgiven, but not forgotten
.
(Chorus)

I came home from a meeting this night and I had to put this for the record.

Have you ever been in a situation where a relationship that you thought you have were simply not there. If you felt that you have one then you would be excused if you felt betrayed. More so when the psychic pain is brought about by investments, on your part, of monies, time, and effort.

And because the relationship is symbiotic in nature, or mutually exploitative, whichever you prefer, there is no possibility of a break away. Impossible? What? You do not believe that a relationship cannot be broken? Well, there are some relationships which cannot be broken; filial and sibling relationships come to mind. Then there are bonds of friendship which you can only break at your peril. Some things are just not done and breaking friendships is one of them.

So you do what most of us would do; forgive and forget, yes? No! Forgive, yes. But forget you may not, not because your memory is elephantine, but because you may want to remember the elasticity of tolerance in that friendship; like how much you trust him with your money.

As for the song, the pronouns were judiciously replaced to convey another meaning to the song but I guess one can always change the pronouns to suit one's purpose. Here again, life imitates art, and one can always look for hidden meanings in anything. So what am I trying to say? The answer, if one cares to look closer, is in the song. Haha.

Funny how a song can describe you. One might not necessarily agree with everything that was said in the lyrics but one can identify, empathize even, with some of it. So which song describes you best?




Supertramp
Album: Breakfast America
The Logical Song

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
[ Supertramp Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.
