The Forgotten Lyrics
Where In The World’s The Forgotten?
They’re Lost Inside Your Memory;
You’re Dragging On, Your Heart’s Been Broken,
As We All Go Down In History.
Where In The World Did The Time Go?
It’s Where Your Spirit Seems To Roam;
Like Losing Faith To Our Abandon,
Or An Empty Hallway From A Broken Home;
Well Don’t Look Away From The Arms Of A Bad Dream,
Well, Don’t Look Away, Sometimes You’re Better Lost Than To Be Seen.
I Don’t Feel Strange, It’s More Like Haunted,
Another Moment Trapped In Time;
I Can’t Quite Put My Finger On It,
But It’s Like A Child That Was Left Behind;
So Where In The World’s The Forgotten?
Like Soldiers From A Long Lost War;
We Share The Scars From Our Abandon,
And What We Remember Becomes Folklore.
Well, Don’t Look Away From The Arms Of A Bad Dream,
Well, Don’t Look Away, Sometimes You’re Better Lost Than To Be Seen;
Well, Don’t Look Away From The Arms Of A Moment,
Don’t Look Away From The Arms Of Tomorrow;
Well, Don’t Look Away From The Arms Of A Moment,
Don’t look Away From The Arms Of Love.
They’re Lost Inside Your Memory;
You’re Dragging On, Your Heart’s Been Broken,
As We All Go Down In History.
It’s Where Your Spirit Seems To Roam;
Like Losing Faith To Our Abandon,
Or An Empty Hallway From A Broken Home;
Well Don’t Look Away From The Arms Of A Bad Dream,
Well, Don’t Look Away, Sometimes You’re Better Lost Than To Be Seen.
Another Moment Trapped In Time;
I Can’t Quite Put My Finger On It,
But It’s Like A Child That Was Left Behind;
So Where In The World’s The Forgotten?
Like Soldiers From A Long Lost War;
We Share The Scars From Our Abandon,
And What We Remember Becomes Folklore.
Well, Don’t Look Away, Sometimes You’re Better Lost Than To Be Seen;
Well, Don’t Look Away From The Arms Of A Moment,
Don’t Look Away From The Arms Of Tomorrow;
Well, Don’t Look Away From The Arms Of A Moment,
Don’t look Away From The Arms Of Love.

I see this as a gen X attempt to impart wisdom to millennials. It's full of irony, but general idea is: don't be so concerned with recording every event of your life on Facebook, and bouncing your feelings off the social media soundboard, and instead be yourself and make real connections with people. The Forgotten, I think, is a sarcastic name he gives to people who don't have a presence on social media, and are "resigned" to living in the memories and hearts of those who care about them.
My thoughts is this song is about forgetting about what's next, and the forgotten is a synonom of people who we've left behind.
It's about a couple of things. First it's about letting go of the past that only weighing you down. The other thing is that it´s okay to let go of some things.. But always live in the moment. And see all the unjustice in the world. Children starving, wars, poverty etc
So for me it´s more of a: "Let the past go to see the present more clearly" thing.. But of course this is only my interpretation! =)
I think that this song has many meanings: One is that you as a person is being forgotten or fears he'll be forgotten when hes gone. The Line "Well, don't look away, sometimes you're better lost than to be seen" may indicate that you may be forgotten but instead caring about that, you should move on in life and give them something which they'll never forget. Second is that this is for a person whom you loved and who no longer is with you, and now its better for you to move on and live the moments, what that person wanted you to do. These May contradict but they are different.
This song seems special to me as Its the most emotional and deep song I've ever heard.
