Forgiven Lyrics

[V1]
Forgive me now cause I
Have been unfaithful
Don't ask me why cause I don't know

So many times I've tried
But was unable
But this heart belongs to you alone

[Chorus]
Now I'm in our secret place
Alone in your embrace
Where all my wrongs have...

    It's about jesus. Skillet are a christian band, and he sings definitly about jesus or god. He sings he goes on his knees, and the "secret place" is heaven. God bless you and don't forget, Jesus saves and loves you!

    In this song Skillet is talking about letting go off all the sin that has held you down in your relationship with Jesus Christ. And you have to find that special place "Where all my wrongs have been erased you have Forgiven" There isn't a sin that God will not forgive you just have to ask Jesus into your heart and accept him as your Lord ans Savior. Then will you be able to ask God for forgiveness.

    My inrerpretation of this is both being unfaithful to God and the woman or person you love. I have recently gotten back into the word of God and in this song for me is going to pray for his love and to forgive you and give you strength enough to go and fix the mistakes that you have done while being away from him and what makes you happy.

    even we all mess up but If we get down on our knees and pray to God, Asking Him to forgive us, He will. Believe me, God doesn't hold grudges against us
    if we confess our sins,He is Holy and Just to forgive us from all unrighteousness, but if we say that we don't sin, we are calling God a liar and His Love is not in us
    1 John 1:8-9

    Forgive me now cause I
    Have been unfaithful
    means he has fell away from God

    Don't ask me why cause I don't know
    humans dont know why we do this

    So many times I've tried
    But was unable
    he tried to have faith in God but couldnt because the only way to regain faith is by asking the Lord

    But this heart belongs to you alone
    he loves jesus

    Now I'm in our secret place
    hes in heaven

    Alone in your embrace
    embrace means to clasp by your bosom which God does

    Where all my wrongs have been erased
    You have forgiven
    he is talking about when jesus died for our sins

    All the promises and lies
    he promised jesus he would be good but failed

    All the times I compromise
    he tries a give and take thing

    All the times you were denied
    You have forgiven
    when ever we brake a commandment we denie God but he repented and was forgiven

    Forgive me I'm ashamed
    I've loved another
    he put a material object before God and is ashamed of that

    I can't explain cause I don't know
    No one can take your place
    he doesnt know why he strayed away from God but knows God is irriplaceable

    And there is no other
    Forever yours and yours alone
    he knows their is only one true Lord and will stay by his side until judgement day

    Take me to our secret place
    (We'll leave the world away)
    take him to heaven he will stay by the lords side

    I get down on my knees
    Feel your love wash over me
    he repeants to the lord and opens his heart to him and feels his love

    There will never be another
    You're the only one forever
    And you know I'm yours alone
    their is only one God and he will follow him and only him

    hows that for a kid

    I think the song is about someone cheated on their partner and now they regret it and is asking for forgiveness hence the parts, "forgive me now cause I have been unfaithful" and "forgive i'm ashamed i've loved another I can't explain cause I don't know no one can take your place and there is no other" and other parts but if you think about it, it does make sense but that's just my interpretation:).
