The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
Now I wander in the forest to find my peace
Fighting the haunting memories of the past
Trying to realize the greatness of the forgiveness bestowed on my heart
which is darkened with sorrow
At last its meaning seems to grasp me
With newfound strength I carry on,
unaware of the danger that lurks from behind the trees
and the certain death that seems to await me
From behind the trees, two arrows were sent on an intercept course
to weaken the noble warrior for the battle that lies ahead
Dark souls left the shadows to surround me
With eyes full of hate they called to me
Feeling reluctant to leave me without a fight
As if the arrows were not deadly enough
The slow poison of the arrows is taking me into death's embrace
I feel a shiver through my stomach as an axe found its way through the flesh
As I drop on my knees, I see my attackers run away,
no doubt on another mission of chaos and mayhem
The dragon will only lead them into the black abyss
But I fear they do not know their own destiny
Soon I will die alone, left behind in this cold forest
Yet I am not afraid of death, for I know what lies beyond
Fighting the haunting memories of the past
Trying to realize the greatness of the forgiveness bestowed on my heart
which is darkened with sorrow
At last its meaning seems to grasp me
With newfound strength I carry on,
unaware of the danger that lurks from behind the trees
and the certain death that seems to await me
From behind the trees, two arrows were sent on an intercept course
to weaken the noble warrior for the battle that lies ahead
Dark souls left the shadows to surround me
With eyes full of hate they called to me
Feeling reluctant to leave me without a fight
As if the arrows were not deadly enough
The slow poison of the arrows is taking me into death's embrace
I feel a shiver through my stomach as an axe found its way through the flesh
As I drop on my knees, I see my attackers run away,
no doubt on another mission of chaos and mayhem
The dragon will only lead them into the black abyss
But I fear they do not know their own destiny
Soon I will die alone, left behind in this cold forest
Yet I am not afraid of death, for I know what lies beyond
