“Forgiveness. This song is about rejecting the idea of forgiveness. Forgiveness isn’t always a moral act, the way some religions portray it. Sometimes forgiveness can be exploitative or even predatory, especially when people use it as a means to guilt someone rather than heal them. When forgiveness...
[Verse 1]
It's the way of love
The bullet understands
Exchange your blood for wine
It always seems so selfish
(But this is not as good as before)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Four walls holding me
Cold eyes haunting me
Run back to the woods
Get back to the woods now
Night is calling me
It's begging me
Pleasure is lost
So give in
[Chorus]
I'm the same as you, I have nothing
I am empty too in the right way
We don't care that no one will miss us
We don't need their blame or forgiveness
[Verse 2]
Ashes turn to dust
They're burning in your hands
There's no reason why
You always feel so helpless
(But this is not as good as before)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
No arms are holding me
Give up everything
Run back to the woods
Get back to the woods now
Night is calling me
It's begging me
Pleasure is lost
So give in
[Chorus]
I'm the same as you, I have nothing
I am empty too in the right way
We don't care that no one will miss us
We don't need their blame or forgiveness
[Chorus]
I'm the same as you, I have nothing
I am empty too in the right way
We don't care that no one will miss us
We don't need their blame or forgiveness
[Bridge]
It's not my fault
Throw me away
Let me break down
I'm just a little doll
We want to know is it the air?
Is it the night buried inside us?
So give in
[Chorus]
I'm the same as you, I have nothing
I am empty too in the right way
We don't care that no one will miss us
We don't need their blame or forgiveness
[Chorus]
I'm the same as you, I have nothing
I am empty too in the right way
We don't care that no one will miss us
We don't need their blame or forgiveness
