The Forgotten Chapter
Resurrecting Hope: The Redemption Journey Through Pain
Lyrics
There was a time, I don’t wanna remember
Reflecting on a past time unwilling to recall
The chapter started in the night
A phase or event began during the night
In the cold winter, in December
Set in a cold December, describing the setting
Mum and I were arguing again this night
Conflict between the speaker and their mother
Screams and fights
Loud arguments and conflicts
There was no end in sight
The disputes seemed never-ending
Suddenly the thing came true
An unexpected event occurred
Mum wanted me to leave
The mother wanted the speaker to leave
My destiny – to live on the streets
The speaker's fate seemed to be homelessness
It was a promise
A self-imposed commitment
That I gave myself
The speaker made a personal promise
The shattered past won’t be revived
The past won't be revisited or resurrected
Until we meet again
Anticipation of meeting someone again
My old friend
Reference to an old friend
I know I was dead, but
Feeling emotionally numb or detached before
I am alive again
A resurgence of feeling alive
I remember the time when I was younger
Recollection of a youthful time
The sadness in me is getting stronger
Increasing emotional pain
Because I had to witness the strife
Suffering from witnessing family strife
This monster had to destroy our family life
A problematic figure disrupting family life
It’s been a while since I’ve seen you last
Long time since last meeting someone
But now you’re nothing more than just a part of my past
That person is now just a part of the past
It felt like all the lights went out
A feeling of darkness or despair
No one was there but doubt
Being consumed by uncertainty
All I have to say
What the speaker has to convey
To myself back in the past
Addressing their former self
You just have to stay
Encouragement to persevere
With your hope and it will last
Sustaining hope for a better future
It was a promise
A renewed commitment to oneself
That I gave myself
Reiteration of the commitment made earlier
The shattered past won’t be revived
The past will not be revisited
Until we meet again
Expectation of a future reunion
My old friend
Addressing the old friend once more
I know I was dead, but
Feeling previously emotionally numb but now revived
I am alive again
Rebirth or renewal of life
I felt like
Expressing a sensation or feeling
I am the psycho, the sinner
Identifying with being a troubled individual
The demon i can’t escape
Feeling trapped by personal flaws
I am the ghost in the wall
Sense of being unnoticed or ignored
And I can’t run from myself
Unable to escape from oneself
I am the psycho,
Reiteration of feeling like a troubled person
Fuck I’m so psycho
An intense feeling of being troubled
I am the ghost in the wall
Continuation of feeling unnoticed or ignored
And I am my own fate
Being in control of one's destiny
All I have to say
Reiterating what the speaker needs to convey
To myself back in the past
Speaking to their former self once more
You just have to stay
Encouraging perseverance to the former self
With your hope and it will last
Advocating hope for endurance
It was a promise
A repeated commitment to oneself
That I gave myself
Reiteration of the earlier self-promise
The shattered past won’t be revived
The past will not be resurrected
Until we meet again
An expectation of reuniting in the future
My old friend
Speaking to the old friend again
I know I was dead, but
Revival from feeling emotionally dead
I am alive again
A renewal or resurgence of life
