Pain come alive, I try to breathe, shade my eyes (He feels pain when he thinks about his ex. HE tries to breathe but he feels like he can’t without her. Shade my eyes could mean hide my shame)
Follow the damned, I have lost the way again (He goes down on to a path of criminal behavior. He’s lost from the light in the moment)
Stay, trust in life, carried beneath, dead arise (He wants her to stay with him. Dead feelings arise)
Sorrow avenged, I will face the weak within (Taking revenge on the pain, he faces her. She’s his weakness)
So I'll stay unforgiven (it’s a forbidden love. Being with her means, he’s sinning.)
And I'll keep love together (He’ll make sure they won’t lose love again)
And I'll be yours forever (He wants to be her always)
I'll sleep close to Heaven (She is heaven to him, even if it is a forbidden love. Without her he feels pain. With her, he knows it’s wrong but it’s all he wants)
Hate lost inside, I dare to dream, faithless lies (Pushing the truth away, he dreams of them being together.)
Caught in the web, I will face the weak within (caught in the web could be trapped in the feeling of love for her)
So I'll stay unforgiven
And I'll keep love together
And I'll be yours forever
I'll sleep close to Heaven
I'm coming home (He’ll find his way back to her)
I'm coming home (He’s coming back for her)
I'm coming home (She is home)
Release me, my love (This could be sexual. He needs her to release him. He needs it.)
So I'll stay unforgiven (If they commit this sin together, God won’t forgive him)
And I'll keep love together
And I'll be yours forever
I'll sleep close to Heaven
To me, it’s about a relationship that shouldn’t be. He can’t live without her, but he’ll probably be judged for staying with her. In the end, he’d rather be unforgiven than left a broken man without her.
