#### Promo/presse
**Spotify pitch:**
> Forgive not Forget is a coming-of-age story about bullying, about choosing to stand up for yourself, and about ultimately forgiving the friends that hurt you. It is the opening track off our upcoming debut album DEATH POP, set to drop February 2024. It was one of the first songs of the album to be produced, and so it set the tone—and thus the title—of the album itself.
> The single will be heavily promoted by us through social media as usual, and pushed to streaming and media via a promo agency.
Andre random beskrivelser og tekstsnutter, til inspo:
> It seems so little in retrospect, but at the time it was everything, and you were never the same since.
#### Lyrikk
I’m all alone now
here in the playground
I had some friends but
they left to hang out with the
cool cool kids getting
cruel cruel kicks out of
mocking my anatomy
I saw my trio
turn into duo
oh wait I’m solo
I guess you never should play
hide and seek with the
cool cool kids
they got dubious morality
they were bad bad bullies rocking sticks and stones
but what hurt the most was to see you join
you broke my heart they just broke my bones
but I’ll forgive, I’ll forgive, if you ask
I’ll forgive but not forget
you saw me beaten
and defeated
but gone when I was needing you the most
you saw me beaten
and defeated
you saw me beaten
and defeated
late to the party and late to the show
a damn good apology
but part of me could never let it go
you saw me beaten
and defeated
from multiplayer
into betrayal
bye bye nintendo
hey you what happened to my childhood dreams?
did they have to leave?
if I’m cool will they come back to me?
just take my morals
my love for star wars
the mario brothers
and let me never be a kid again
let the cool cool win
I just want my friends to play with me
they were bad bad bullies rocking sticks and stones
but what hurt the most was to see you join
you broke my heart they just broke my bones
but I’ll forgive, I’ll forgive, if you ask
you saw me beaten
and defeated
but gone when I was needing you the most
you saw me beaten
and defeated
you saw me beaten
and defeated
late to the party and late to the show
a damn good apology
but part of me could never let it go
you saw me beaten
and defeated
take your time and time will heal but
time will leave you with the feeling
once betrayed you can't believe in
letting go of lonely evenings
love you now, and though I mean it
doesn’t mean I will conceal the
broken child in me who saw his
childhood heroes leave him
take your time and time will heal but
time will leave you with the feeling
once betrayed you can't believe in
letting go of lonely evenings
love you now, and though I mean it
doesn’t mean I will conceal the
broken child in me who saw his
childhood heroes leave him
I’ll forgive but not forget
you saw me beaten
and defeated
but gone when I was needing you the most
you saw me beaten
and defeated
you saw me beaten
and defeated
late to the party and late to the show
a damn good apology
but part of me could never let it go
you saw me beaten
and defeated
I’ll forgive but not forget
you were gone
gone when was needing you the most
you were gone
gone when was needing you the most
you were gone
gone when was needing you the most
you were gone
