- Forty Days LyricsAnd it's been forty days
I've tried forty ways
You will never quite leave your sins behind
They'll haunt you, taunt you until the day you die
You will never really go
You'll just think about it much but you'll need to know
how the story ends,
so you'll sit around, even though you should just go
Tell your friends what you have heard, show them all the
lies unlearned
And when you really go, you will really know you were never
meant for earth
What's it worth?
If we're going to break it down with any logic, it's absurd
And no matter where we go, we are not alone
When the silence turns to cries of "Why?"
What a way to begin: we inherit sin
And nobody's going to quench your thirst when the well runs dry
And nobody's going to hold your hand on the day you die
I've tasted seven sins, so they won't let me in
I knock knock knock until my knuckles are bruised and raw
Stuck in the middle with my blood in a puddle on the floor
We made our beds, we'll judge ourselves
And only then and there will we disappear to our final
resting place
What a waste!
So many decent people at the gates
And no matter where we go, we are not alone
When the silence turns to cries of "Why?"
What a way to begin: we inherit sin
And nobody's going to quench your thirst when the well runs dry
And nobody's going to hold your hand on the day you die
And no matter who you know, you will be alone
When the silence turns to cries of "Why?"
What a way to begin: we inherit sin
And nobody's going to quench your thirst when the well runs
dry, well runs dry
And nobody's going to hold your hand on the day you die
I've tried forty ways
You will never quite leave your sins behind
They'll haunt you, taunt you until the day you die
You will never really go
You'll just think about it much but you'll need to know
how the story ends,
so you'll sit around, even though you should just go
Tell your friends what you have heard, show them all the
lies unlearned
And when you really go, you will really know you were never
meant for earth
What's it worth?
If we're going to break it down with any logic, it's absurd
And no matter where we go, we are not alone
When the silence turns to cries of "Why?"
What a way to begin: we inherit sin
And nobody's going to quench your thirst when the well runs dry
And nobody's going to hold your hand on the day you die
I've tasted seven sins, so they won't let me in
Stuck in the middle with my blood in a puddle on the floor
We made our beds, we'll judge ourselves
And only then and there will we disappear to our final
resting place
What a waste!
So many decent people at the gates
And no matter where we go, we are not alone
When the silence turns to cries of "Why?"
What a way to begin: we inherit sin
And nobody's going to quench your thirst when the well runs dry
And nobody's going to hold your hand on the day you die
And no matter who you know, you will be alone
When the silence turns to cries of "Why?"
What a way to begin: we inherit sin
And nobody's going to quench your thirst when the well runs
dry, well runs dry
And nobody's going to hold your hand on the day you die

When we search for the deeper meaning hidden within the lines, with ‘Forty Days,’ Streetlight Manifesto exposes the inexorable nature of sin and the unavoidable human condition of dealing with guilt and death. The metaphor ‘forty days’ stands for a month and a half of trial and reflection, mostly along the lines of biblical references and emphasizing the conflict of seizing the present and letting go of the past. Forty days lyrics mainly entail the feelings of angst, despair, meditation, isolation, and love loss. The song, however, conveys the duality of sin and salvation, separation and loneliness, questioning and acceptance together with finality and judgment. The song’s lyrics reveal the themes of sin, death, and existential questions which can be very powerful for the very young audience. The vocabulary is adult-like and the pictures may be dark, so a PG-13 rating is suitable.
