Forget Myself Lyrics
Those sapphire eyes
The brilliant girl with the famous thighs
Then camera clicks and then we are stars
We're laughing in the back of chauffeured cars
Phone call rings and your voice is desire
Then winter moves into summer fires
I promised you what's ours is ours
Somewhere backstage with Sean and Lars
I laugh at myself with the girl in bloom
The taste of sex couldn't be too soon
All afternoon then
LA parties in the phony lands
Phony grabs with the manicured hands
I always thought you are pretty like a whip
I should've watched my step
And I keep on forgetting myself
I keep forgetting myself and
I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
Who am I?
We both don't know
Time ticks by, where did it go?
So sweetly you said please come with you
The biggest fear running through my head
When you said you loved me you meant what you said
We always sleep with the dogs in the bed
But the LA parties and the vodka fizz
This is not my life, or maybe it is?
And I keep on forgetting myself
I keep forgetting myself and
I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
Who am I? We both don't know
Time ticks by, where did it go?
Oh, you're better off without me
Because there's someone younger and you're feeling older
You're crazy and you never faded
Don't want to be so complicated
See my life come undone
I watch it go and let the damage run
I'd change this song now if I could
In the slickness of your blood
And I keep on forgetting myself
I keep forgetting myself and
I keep on forgetting myself (where did you go?)
And I keep on forgetting myself
Who's that guy? I don't know.
Whoa whoa whoa, where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
I think this song is about a relationship, where the woman plays the guy until she's tired of him and then lets him go. She manipulates him by telling him she loves him, and the guy believes her and lets it go to her head. The guy is so focused on pleasing her that he forget's himself and only thinks about her and pleasing her. He doesn't know who he is without her and in the last stanza when he is looking over her shoulder and she is with a younger guy, he is being dumped. She is moving on to someone else and there is nothing that the guy can do except watch the damage run. He wishes he could change it, but he can't, the girl has gotten the best of him. Now that they are over, he doesn't know who he is because he has been living a life that is not his own trying to please the girl for so long.
Stephan broke up with Charlize not the other way around. He knew he wasn't ready to commit to marriage so he broke up with her. He wasn't ready to give up the rock star life and hooking up with girls backstage and stuff like that...all of his songs seem to express regret and how he wishes he could go back when things were better. He realized he made a mistake breaking up with her and when she moved on to another guy it broke his heart. He even fedexed her two songs that he wrote. They were Persephone and Forget...

To me this song is about his relationship with Charlize Theron and how he got caught up in the Hollywood dazzle which is the world that she clearly thrived in. Every so often he realised that he wasn't being true to himself and the life he was living was artificial and fake but his love for her was so great that he didn't really want to believe that. So he kept allowing himself to be caught up in that life that he was living. Eventually they realise that they're too different to be together and want different things so they split up. But still to this day he loves her and misses her.
Album isnt even out, not even one single released and already we have the lyrics up. What a time to be alive.
Yeah you said it Disco! If you are really looking for a good 3EB site go to 3eb.co.uk they have all kinds of info about the new album and some lyrics for the new songs. Anyway this song is pretty good! I've heard a softer version of it and a more heavy version of it and I'm not sure which I like better. I wonder which one they will put on the album.
i saw them perform this song over the weekend and i can already tell it's going to be one of my favorites off of the new cd.
I think this song could be about how everything happened to fast "The camera flash & we are stars" is like a little bit describing 3eb life " LA parties in the phony lands". And as in most stories is also about a girl... a girl he is in love with, "I always thought you were pretty like a whip", "I go crazy when you walk in the room" . Probably they knew each other also because she was part of the artistic stuff "So sweetly you said "please come with me", and after waiting some time he realizes she loves him to "When you said you loved me you meant what you said ". Probably they started a relashonship in which neither her nor him knew who he really was. And as sometimes love is not enough, he has to give up on her, because he knows she will be better off without him, My favorite line is "This isn't my life... or maybe it is". Is like not having idea of who you are, and I bet that at some point of our lifes we had all experienced that.
i heard its about charlize theron
Sabien = Stephan's goddaughter.
it would make a lot of sense if its about charlize! its a beautiful beautiful song!!! third eye blind are unbelievably talented! oh one thing though, in the lyrics here "gimme sex couldn't be too soon" its "the taste of sex couldn't be too soon"
hate when people mess it up... everyone says could, its would,........ we always sleep with the dogs on the bed.
