God Forsaken Lyrics
So my dissent was a shallow defense I made to lay waste to the powers of fate
And all the blame I carry around my neck, a dead cycle of pain that I chase to find my way
When the sovereign comes to me / I eclipse in the shadow’s veil / Killing all I seek to be / For the passing vain inhale
A fall to the fires of Hell never failed to awaken
Though my soul ascend, in the darkness of my heart again... I’m God forsaken
With every turn I fail to learn my path and it’s wearing down my days
To be the voice of a half-dead, suffering age / A never-ending seek that I chase to find my way
Now the grave is all I see
And all the blame I carry around my neck, a dead cycle of pain that I chase to find my way
Though my soul ascend, in the darkness of my heart again... I’m God forsaken
To be the voice of a half-dead, suffering age / A never-ending seek that I chase to find my way

To me this speaks to my heart about Feeling. I sometimes feel as if I'm abandoned by God and that I can't feel His love for me. But the truth in Scripture is that He does love me and that I cannot escape my salvation or Christ's love (Romans 8:38-39 NLT) Everything is really good and under control even though my feelings may speak otherwise
I think this is in reference to Psalm 22. In the beginning of the Psalm, David is struggling because God is not answering him. Psalm 22:1-2 says "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest." Throughout the Psalm, David goes back and forth between feeling God near and feeling far from God. This song also reflects this.
This song is about a person who the Bible mentions that judgement shall be worse for them. this is an individual who knew the way and still kept making all the wrong choices to lay waste to powers of fate. he makes no excuses and knows it\'s all on him. He thought himself unworthy of a crown because of the darkness in his heart. I also feel like he\'s emotionally detached from everything and feels dead already. Maybe that\'s what he wants.. he hopes that the fires of hell will be enough to let him feel anything at all. A fall to the fires of hell never failed to awaken ..
If anyone has ever lived through or with addiction, this song seems to describe the place where the addiction becomes sin, when the addict knows exactly what they are doing and yet still can't stop. And so the cycle continues of being confronted by God providing a way out and the addict choosing the idol instead. It only ends in death.
