Forgotten Hopes Lyrics
Hey you rotting in an alcoholic (empty) shell
Banging on the walls of your intoxicated mind
Do you ever wander why you were left alone
As your heart grew colder
And finally turned to stone
Did I punish you for dreaming?
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Don’t you ever dream of escaping?
Pathetic oblivion
Forgotten hopes buried in your soul’s lonely grave
Pathetic oblivion
Remember how you were before you locked
your heart away
Did I punish you for dreaming?
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Don’t you ever dream of escaping?
Banging on the walls of your intoxicated mind
Do you ever wander why you were left alone
As your heart grew colder
And finally turned to stone
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Don’t you ever dream of escaping?
Forgotten hopes buried in your soul’s lonely grave
Pathetic oblivion
Remember how you were before you locked
your heart away
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Don’t you ever dream of escaping?

You guys don't get this song becaouse you probably don't know what it's like to be an alcoholic. It's about drifting away from your family and fiends and truly alike closing yourself up in your small shell of trust ridden world. It's a pathetic state of regret and constant feeling of being trapped. I really wish you never to get the full meaning of those lyrics.
@mr.y I see this was done a very long time ago, but your perception is correct!!!! it is actually from the viewpoint of the alcoholic!!!!!

i wathed an acoustic home video of this song. it was so great.i think their style is so similar to Pink Floyd with changes in lyrics which is arise from our society conditions. i realy love Anathema.
