In this farewell,
There is no blood,There is no alibi,
Cause I've drawn regret,
From the truth,
Of a thousands lies,
So let mercy come and wash away
What I've Done,
I'll face myself,
To cross out what I've become,
Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done
Put to rest,
What you thought of me
While, I clean this slate,
With the hands,
Of uncertainty,
So let mercy come,
And wash away
What I've Done,
I'll face myself,
To cross out what I've become,
Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done
For what I've done,
I start again,
And whatever pain may come,
Today this ends,
I'm forgiving what I've done
I'll face myself,
To cross out what I've become,
Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done
(Na,Na,Na)
What I've Done,
What I've Done,
Forgiving what I've done
Now that you have seen the lyrics and read them, you might be able to figure out what this song is about. Well in the literal part, he repeats some things. What I get most of what he says is regret and starting over. When he says, "clean this slate" it is an idiom referring to starting over. He also refers to this a lot, "So let mercy come and wash away What I've done." This is another sign of starting over. He then says, "I'm forgiving what I've done." This explains the regret of the singer. In the beginning stanza, he says, "'Cause I've drawn regret." To look at this at a more intellectual way, we can say that he is the human race. He is speaking for all of us, that we have all drawn regret and we want to start over. That we will "erase ourselves.” we will "clean the slate." We are regretful for ruining the earth, and we want to start over. To me it also refers to how the human race only cares about money and power. The only problem that is causing all of this is us. That is why we want to start over and erase ourselves. That is wat this song means to me.
