The Forgotten One Lyrics

Words slowly lead me to the cracks in my disguise,
My flesh a prison for the man behind these eyes.
I sing the epitaph for an unnamed king,
Carved in this tombstone of the lost pieces of me.

How far is the distance between you and I?
How long before this silence dies?

Chorus
Lost in a sea of sadness, blind in this place of darkness.
If I fall would you be there to raise me up or will I be the forgotten one?

Lead me to the crossroads, I can find my way home,
Devil’s on my back and Angel’s in between.
The scars and dreams that made me believe,
Where’s the cries now, in remembrance of me?

When our eyes meet, do you know the man beneath?
Walk the line between desperate hands redeemed.

Chorus

And my hymns and songs for the broken, the weapon we were that were spoken,
Do we carry hope for the hopeless?

Chorus

Be the forgotten one, woah.
Yeah.
Be the forgotten one.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is chilling. The emotion is so raw.

"When our eyes meet do you know the man beneath?"

My favorite line.

From what I perceived after listening for a few hours, I think its about whether or not this man will be accepted into heaven. "If I fall, would you be there to raise me up? Or will I be the forgotten one?".

Words only lead me to the cracks in my disguise. My flesh a prison for the man behind these eyes. I sing the epitaph for an unnamed king. Carved in this tombstone all the lost pieces of me.

^Never really understood entirely the first verse. Are they the words of god he is talking about? The epitaph for an unamed king, I assume jesus's epitaph? " And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, 'Jesus Of Nazareth The King Of The Jews.' This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, 'Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.' Pilate answered. 'What I have written I have written.' That is the epitaph of jesus christ. He might have written unnamed king as a censor for respect. How far is the distance between you and I? I suspect the words are coming from the man that is now dead and possibly in hell, awaiting to be rescued and sent to heaven, hence the chorus.

The chorus sounds like the man is in hell, a sea of sadness, a place of darkness. And when hes there will he be redeemed or will he be forgotten?

Devils on my back and angels in between. Heaven (up) hell (down/to the rear) The scars and dreams that made me believe. The endeavors of life that solidified his belief of god and his words. Wheres the crime scene in remembrance to me? (not too sure exactly what hes talking about)

When our eyes meet do you know the man beneath? Walk the line between desperate and redeemed. When he meets god, will he know the kind of person that he was, would he be considered a good person although he has sinned? The line between desperate and redeemed makes me think of life now, where we are. The midpoint between heaven and hell, life being our chance of redemption.

My hymns are songs for the broken. That whole verse is in kind of gods perspective. His hymns are songs for the broken, but through every word that was spoken, does he carry hope for the hopeless? Does he carry hope for the ones that he hadn't accepted into heaven? The ones who seem forsaken in hell.

Im not very good at explaining though, sorry if it seems jumbled.
