- Sharon's words from TSF's first fanzine:
- Quote :
- The songtext of "Forsaken" depicts a situation the world might, or will, find itself in one day. To envision this kind of situation, you should watch the movie, "The Day After Tomorrow" first, and listen to "Forsaken" afterwards. The songtext really speaks for itself, but watching this movie will enable you to create a visual image to go with it. "Forsaken" tells about the fact that there will be a moment that nature's elements will turn against us. We have a habit of bending everything to our wills, but not everything we do is without counter-reaction or consequences. Nature itself is, of course, changing too, we're just speeding the process up to lightning speed in the wrong direction.
There is the phenomenon of global warming, that makes the North Pole's ice cap melt, which in turn makes the sea level rise. The direct effect of this ice melting is that the polar bears are now facing extinction, and Holland gets to lie below the water level more and more. Basically, Forsaken comes down to the fact that humankind has been changing the climate dramatically, thinking only of their own economic gain and not about nature, nor about the fact that this mistake might turn out to be fatal. The moment they'll want to change because there'll be no other options left, it will be too late. People experience this as nature abandoning them, but in fact we are the ones that abandoned our Mother Earth.
I'd say look up the term "Kyoto treaty" on Google, and you'll find lots of information on this subject. You will be able to form your own opinion on this treaty, based on the information provided by its supporters and opponents.
Kind regards, Sharon That's awsome! Now whenever I watch The Day After Tomorrow i'm going to think of Forsaken | |
