| yeah, I agree that it's about us sinning, but also that they're remembering the time that they first gave their life to Jesus, and how in love they were with Him. "I recall going madly in love with you "I recall pledging my sole devotion to you" and now i'ts like they've messed up and sinned and fell away from God so it's almost like they've forsaken Him and it's only a memory now... "Why do I have to beg? When all that's left is a memory, Forsaken" | |

| To me, this song kind of represents how you feel when you've sinned. You feel forsaken, even after you've asked forgiveness, because you haven't forgiven yourself. You feel bad so, even though it's now no more than a memory, you think God hasn't forgiven you and you beg for His forgiveness. | |

| I just noticed something... "Why do I have to beg? When all that's left is a memory, Forsaken." Notice the comma. Is it us that feels forsaken, or is it that the memory of what we've done is forsaken? Either way, this song is about dwelling on the things you've done when you're already been forgiven by Jesus Christ. That is if you've given it over to him of course =] | |

| I agree with you guys. But, I also see it as Jesus dying on the cross, asking God why he had forsaken him. And it ties us being forsaken, into his. | |

| This song describes what it feels like to me when something terrible goes wrong (something more than breaking up with a boy/girlfriend or getting into a fight with parents.) A friends dies or you lose your home. You wonder how God can let somthing like that happen. how something, someone you loved so much just...disappear. | |
