Being As An Ocean - Forgetting Is Forgiving The I Lyrics






Where our thoughts are, there we'll live
Whether it be misery or joy
Both of which life freely gives
(both of which life freely gives)
Languish in the mire of the past or steel our resolve
And leave the darkness at our back

Stand firm in the face of our sins
Owning up to all of it
Self-aware
Forgiving our shared part in it
Regret and death could never win
Self-aware

Forgiving our shared part in it
Regret and death could never win

A simple laying down of pride
Could spring a well of new
Life, but still we stay obstinate
Clenching our fists tight
We clench our fists tight
If the past be our only present
Then so becomes our future
Stained black with resentment
Infected from picking at the sutures

Forgiving our shared part in it
Regret and death could never win

Where our thoughts are, there we'll live
Whether it be misery or joy
Both of which life freely gives
(both of which life freely gives)
If the past be our only present
Then so becomes our future
Stained black with resentment
Infected from picking at the sutures

Infected from picking at the sutures

Character actors
Writing our own screenplays
Stopping to wonder
Why are all their roles all the same...

We play the victim
We play the victim...

    Prolly my favorite of all their work. Though, being that amazing, why did nobody cover that song? Can't find a tab or a vid

  5. M.... T....

    Best album since ''full collapse'' ( thursday)

  6. d.... M....

    Lyrically this is their best album miss the old sound but and their consequences mixes their old and new sound perfect

  7. S.... o....

    I was not fucking ready for this. Holy shit.

  8. T.... G....

    Dissapointed at the fact that you knew before "this is being as an ocean" they had there own sound...now hmmmm seems like every other "screamo" band...very saddened by this...they really changed but for the worse...thought I was listening to older bring me the horizon...sorry but when you have your own sound especially in this genre don't conform and I've felt like that's what they've done

  9. S.... O....

    I knew I'd be Impressed, but this is next level.

  15. H.... F....

  16. J.... P....

    This whole album has been him preaching ;-; not saying you can't express your religion or anything but cmon where's the being as an ocean I know & love.

    J.... P....

    You've interpreted these lyrics on such a basic level. They are absolutely not preaching the religion of Christianity. This song is much deeper. They are using aspects of religion as a means and source of inspiration to create a better world. This song is meant to inspire you to no longer play the victim and live as a continuation of the past but carve out a new, better future! This song is meant to empower you, not convert you to Christianity!

  17. A.... ....

    I think im the only person who hasn't been likeing the sound of BAAO's new stuff, i hope it grows on me, i realldo do because i love these guys

    A.... ....

    old comment but what do you think now? i love baao but this album didnt grow on me as much

    A.... ....

    +Nicole Gomez funnily enough when I reviewed it on my blog I had a huge change of heart, I really delved into the lyrical content, and it's one of my fave albums of this year

    A.... ....

    +Alex Wilson i can agree with you on that, the lyrical content is brilliant and just the album itself is beautiful but still something throws me off , but i guess it's just bc i'll never get over dear g-d haha whats your blog by the way if you dont mind so i can check out your review?

    A.... ....

    +Nicole Gomez I think it's because I'm still not used to Michael doing the cleans. Anyway here's the review: http://sameoldbandstoomuchhype.blogspot.com/2015/07/being-as-ocean-being-as-ocean.html Thanks for checking it out!

    A.... ....

    +Alex Wilson your review is spot on you did a great job:) and absolutely man, it's been a while and i'm still not used to Michaels cleans. i mean it sounds nice next's to joels vocals but idk

  18. A.... G....

    Being As An Ocean is one of those bands I really wish that I liked but I've only managed to thoroughly enjoy two songs (The Poets Cry For More and Mothers). I'll still be keeping an ear out though.

  19. E.... G....

    Can someone make a montage of Vegeta with this song please

  20. T.... R....

    I can feel this song  :3

  21. P.... W....

    These lyrics highly remind me of the movie "The Brothers Bloom." Especially the last two lines about character actors.

    @Rizz3n for me this song has been the superior song, going to be a hard song to be in this album

    R.... ....

    @Rizz3n Do you live in the youtube comment section? You're on EVERY video i swear to god.

    R.... ....

    @Rizz3n Yea man the other two are awesome. This one has a dynamic build that the others don't necessarily have, they are more steady in pace. Makes this song so powerful, which is why i think this one is my favorite so far, not to mention the lyrical content
