Unforgiven Lyrics
I kept up with the message inside
Lost sight of the irony of twisted faith
Lost sight of my soul and its void
Think I- think I'm unforgiven to this world
To share in the consequence of lies
Childish with my reasoning and pride
Godless to the extent that I died
Think I- think I'm unforgiven to this world
Think I'm unforgiven
No more raping innocence
No more raping innocence
No more raping innocence
The gold was put to flame to kill; to burn; to mold its purity
Think I- think I'm unforgiven to this world
Think I'm unforgiven

he might be askin' for forgiveness from God........i mean everyone is a sinner......and scott is repenting onto his mistakes!

I didn't like this song too much at first, but once I looked at the lyrics, a thought it was excellent. My Own Prison is a great CD.

great song.....

It says "no more raping innocence"

...Well that was a rather prompt response.
As for meanings to the song, I really have no idea.

He's saying he kept the church life, played the game as it were, was a believer in one sense but only in following the rules. Notice he says he's unforgiven to this world which means that he's trying to live a non worldly life. I imagine it'd be pretty hard as a rock star.

It sort of sounds like hes sick of Christianity

This song is about Scott Stapp coming to terms with the realization that 'Jesus' will NOT be happy when he finds out that Scott has been impersonating him just to get chicks(who don't even come anyway).
He's basically saying, "Hey Jesus, I've been a follower for so long that now I feel I AM you but I know you won't be happy, but this is how I feel."
Its so deep and beautiful.
SCOTT ROCKS!
