Relient K - Forget And Not Slow Down Lyrics






How many times
Can I push it aside
Is it time I befriended all the ghosts of all the things that haunt me most
So they leave me alone
Move on with my life
Be certain the steps of left and right don't fight the direction of upright

I'd rather forget and not slow down
Than gather regret for the things I can't change now
If I become what I can't accept
Resurrect the saint from within the wretch
Pour over me and wash my hands of it

It's time to decide
Which is out of my mind
Cause it'll be me unless I put some thoughts to rest and leave some faults behind
I'll watch the glint in my eye
Shine off the spring in my step
And could be blinding depending on the amount of You that I reflect

Cause I could spend my life just trying to sift through
What I could've done better but what good do what ifs do
Oh oh
Oh oh
There's something I should tell you now

Relient K Forget And Not Slow Down Comments
  1. J.... K....

    Check out my siblings and I's full, 2-part analysis of this album: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5xrPaJmELC2HnyDLDf5E4p?si=ZY6Am22iS7ifoL0R_8LJ8w

  2. A.... T....

    I’d also rather forget and not slow down :(

  3. W.... W....

    Such a good song.

  4. D.... H....

    I think this version of the song is a bad quality, compared to the original. other versions are much clearer. the intro sounds scratchy in this recording.

  5. V.... ....

    So I'm listening to all the songs on this album. I wasn't a fan of it when it was released but people seem to like it a lot. So I'm giving the album another listen.

    V.... ....

    every song is good, definitely give it another listen , its a classic!

  6. E.... N....

    2:40 until end..........wow. My spleen song.

  7. I.... T....

    I know I'm probably beating a dead horse with this, but does it really matter whether a band is "christian" or not? A religious affiliation shouldn't matter, as long as you enjoy the music :-)

    I.... T....

    it's like asking to someone its political affiliation or his view the school system before listening to his music ..that s so stupid!

    I.... T....

    Great music regardless.

  8. S.... O....

    We didn't do anything to you. I keep you, in my thoughts and prayers though. =) Maybe someday you'll see that not all of us are bad.

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

    What you're saying about the corruption isn't false. There have been terrible people who have believed in different "god or gods" But that's doesnt mean you have to label them all evil and corrupt. You're stereotyping just like people do toward people of different skin or sexual orientation. Now as for actual religion, I dont go to church every sunday or bible studies, and havent for several years. But I believe in Jesus. And it doesnt strike me well when you're bashing beliefs of others.

  10. S.... O....

    Christianity is the message in this music.

  11. N.... ....

    unconscious rhyme skills

  12. S.... ....

    Actually I shared an opinion, thus so did you, I hate religion, good day to you too.


    .. I didn't actually mean for that to rhyme.

  13. N.... ....

    You did share your beliefs first. And yes I have made up my mind on my morals. By the way did you notice lol looks like a man with his hands up? Oh no the cops lol. And yes she is, although I've never met her. Sometimes I hang from a tree and pretend to be an acorn, then I fall and hurt myself. You know what's really cool? If I had a hand for every wrist I have.... Wait for it.... I'd have two hands. And thus I make my statement to agree to disagree. Have a nice day.

  14. S.... ....

    If you wanna believe in a god, you go ahead. What I don't get? Why the fuck you need to share your beliefs, nor why you should follow blindly the beliefs of an all powerful ruler, nor follow a fucking book to live your life!

    Make up your own damn mind about your morals!

  15. S.... ....

    Maybe, but I don't give a fuck about your religion or any other. All it has ever achieved is hypocrisy. The Christians preach good values, yet the popes throughout the ages have raped children, eaten human flesh, ordered executions of innocents for "going against the faith" and started wars for little more than a fucking prejudice. I could go on about others, but they're all the same.

    Religion is a parasitic plague against humanity that serves only to slow down our scientific progression.

  16. N.... ....

    Christianity is a message for Humanity.

  17. B.... V....

    Amazing song. I have loved this band since I was l was 13!

  18. S.... ....

    Fuck Christianity, this music holds a message for Humanity.

  19. B.... ....

    wow i love this band so much. i may not believe in god but man is this band good

  20. G.... G....

    Wow, there are not many religious bands nowadays, allmost every famous band are atheists. Im a Muslim, and i like this band, beats an atheist or a religion that doesnt believe in One God Lord (pagan) anyday of the week ;D May peace be upon youuuu <3

  21. K.... C....

    Anyone notice the no dislikes?

  22. S.... R....

    I love you guys!

  23. s.... ....

    @RimAlexa What about the song "Getting into You"? That definitely relates to God. I think some of there songs do relate to God and then some don't. But the labeling of them as a "Christian Band" does fit.

  24. s.... ....

    Cool how a lot of Relient K's lyrics relate to God AND can relate a normal everyday situation or a girl :)

  25. s.... ....

    @corsonator music is for analyzation, if you're a real music freak.

  26. h.... ....

    Love this song!

  27. c.... ....

    Blah blah blah. Stop analyzing the music and listen to it.

  28. R.... ....

    False. If you all know Relient K they don't define themselves as a "Christian Band" They said they play the music they want with what they want to sing about and that's how people labeled them. This new album is about Matt's break up with his fiance.

  29. S.... ....

    I'm not christian , but that doesn't stop me from loving this band so fucking much *_*

  30. p.... ....

    I hate how people say a song isn't Christian just because it doesn't say "Praise God" in it. That's what we have worship for. I'm still looking for a Christian artist to talk about their life as a Christian instead of just fitting a worship song into a genre. We have absolutely no one in contemporary Christian music to take on the Taylor Swifts or Lady Gagas of mainstream music. I do hope it happens because I don't really like listening to secular music.

  31. Z.... N....

    you know its good when theres not dislikes and arguing in the comments.

  32. i.... ....

    One of the best, most powerful albums of all time. :)

  33. P.... ....

    @juliajoy8 oh ok gotcha haha =)

  34. j.... j....

    the singer of my favorite Christian band (HOH)

    +

    my 2nd favorite Christian band (Relient K)

    =

    AWESOME.

  35. j.... j....

    @PooCrizzap might have meant oh my gosh. that's what I mean when I say omg. just sayin :)

  36. P.... ....

    @ryanlovesjesus you kind of contradicted yourself
    one of the ten commandments is not to use the lords name in vain and the first thing you said was "omg"
    that's still using his name in vain

  37. D.... ....

    i reely like it

  38. M.... P....

    this album is just as good as mmhmm probably even better. It depends what kind of day your having.. .
    Tim skipper comes in towards the end.. when you start to hear the harmonies...
    Relient K has a different sound every album, and it is awesome!
    This is more a chill rock album, unlike the punk/pop/rock mmhmm album.
    Its cool cause as long as Matt is singing... you know its Relient K.

  39. A.... S....

    @CaptOrbit I didn't mean to spam the comments section that was an accident, sorry.

  40. j.... ....

    Does anyone know what part Tim Skipper from House Of Heroes comes in?

  41. B.... ....

    Yeah. The lyrics to this song are about how sometimes we want to just ignore our mistakes and move on. But God can help us get over these mistakes and emerge better than ever before.

  42. d.... ....

    Just bought this album this morning. Love it.

  43. h.... t....

    lovee lovee relient k !!!! <33333333

  44. i.... ....

    Kind of has a death cab for cutie sound to it. Love this song though. Awesome stuff!

  45. J.... F....

    AWSOME!

  46. B.... ....

    I added the lyrics in the description; hopefully, the lyrics to the rest of the album will be coming soon, but I'm really busy so it just depends on when I have some free time.

  47. S.... ....

    Plz lyrics =)
    Maybe in MORE INFO =)
    God bless
