Hey i was listening to "forsaken" & i was wondering what John screams before he starts screaming the bridge? He says "yeah yeah yeah forsaken.....blah blah blah!!!!" then goes to the bridge. Anyone know what he says?

nope :-[ but evertime i dont know what skillet says i just fill that part in with what ever i think it might sound like .for instance the song vapor for a long time some ppl i know would say im going to beat up my neighbor im just making lies instead of im a beep im a vapor. hey maby you can ask john next time hes on a live chat. :P

that song made me think of Brandon and i cried so much.
i do love the song very much. :)

it sounds like he is saying lookat this or look at me i dunno

I though it said "You can break" and then he goes into "You break me. You're breaking me". Not sure though.

Steve

It sounds like "You can be"
I dont know

does it not say on the lyric booklet thingie dingy?

Nope... It doesn't... Were talking about the scream before he starts yelling Forsake

maybe he is just screaming something for the heck of it...

If I remember, I'll ask him next time I see them.

Sounds like 'you break me.'

to me it sounds like he's saying you can bring or somthing

after re-listening to it tonight with this thread in mind, i heard the words "you can be". before i heard "look at me" but that didn't fit. i'm thinking it's "you can be" more & more now.

oh...well next person who is seeing Skillet in cocert has got to ask John this question about this song. Deal? lol

it sounds like break me, youre breaking me

i'm thinking it's "you can be" more & more now.

Same here... How about someone e-mail them?
skillet@skillet.org?
Do they check their e-mail?

well...the very first time i emailed Skillet i actually got an email back. But since then i've sent lots of mail & never got a reply. But i guess it's worth a try.

Yeah, I guess it'd never hurt to try!

Hey I know the chorus for Forsaken: "Why do i have to beg? when all that's left is a memory forsaken!" but i dont understand what it means. I'm sure someone on this board can help me out! lol. L8er nn/

i emailed skillet about it, and ben said that it was about a christian who forgets everything, forsakes them. at first i thought it was about a girl ;D.

o but i dont get the "why do i have to beg?" part... :- ???

I dont know.. but nice avatar looks familiar :) ;D

i thought he was saying why do i sit hear now and beg when 'i remember growing madly in love with you...'. like he used to be able to feel god and communed with him regularly, but now he's lost touch and just begs. i can't remember exactly why, but i formed this opinion after reading the ccmbuzz interview. not positive i'm right though.

steve

oh alrite. well thanx for the input steve. & yeah bob it is ALMOST the same pic as yours but not exactly lol. ;)

oh alright ;D (inside joke) :P

that's about what i've gotten from the song. it's about a guy who's left God & instead of tasting Him like he was, all he has left is a memory he's forsaken. he can beg & plead all he wants for more, but until he truly lets God come to Him again, all He will have is the forsaken memory.

ooh okay now i gotcha. well thanx for those explanations. i guess im just not that good at figuring out songs like ya'll lol.

Well, personally, I think it was a best friend kinda song. I mean like the part "we must hold on to our faith in each other". Like, to not forget each other, and try to remain strong in friendship. *shrugs* :-

yeah I figured it was a song about friendship, or a friend. or a wife

yeah, it's a song about friendship.

hey its koolio loren (rockchick) i dont mind...i already got my answer so now u can get yours... ;)

yeah, it's a song about friendship.

That's what I was thinking too.

...did anyone do it?

I've always heard it as "You're Breaking Me"

I agree with those who said "You can be".

Im a singer/songwriter, from a lyrical standpoint, "break me, your breaking me" makes more sense then "you can be." It just makes more sense and goes along with what the song is talking about. Think about it. ;)

i agree. i really do. but the part of the song that we're referring to is just before where he does say that. it could be "you break me," but "break me" is too short & "you're breaking me" is too long (imo).

that's exactly what I was just thinking.

yeah im starting to hear "you can break!" too.

Yeah, it's something like that, though I know not quite what!!!!

It is definitely three syllables (or beats).

yea it sounds like, you can pray or you can be or you can break, any of those...

ok, i asked "the source", john, yesterday and he said it's "you can break".

steve

Ahh, thanks for letting us know. :) I was just starting to hear that when I listened to it the other day.

thanks Steve. :) now we can all go to sleep at night knowing exactly what John is screaming. :D

cool. forsaken is an awesome song. fun to play on the guitar too.

woohoo thanx steve. yeah it is real fun to play on guitar.

hmm. why is this locked. people can't talk about the song now. :( *waves magic wand* hey! it worked! :D
