Facts from the source article.
Composition
Noisey described "Forgiveness" as a palpitating piece of dark-pop with claustrophobic lyrics built around the line "Four walls holding me / Cold eyes haunting me." Dazed called it an industrial-pop thumper driven by a chugging electronic bassline. Glass stated the song is about rejecting the idea of forgiveness, explaining that forgiveness can be exploitative or predatory when used to guilt someone rather than heal them, and that it becomes a toxic act when employed to create a false sense of superiority.
Music video
The lo-fi, dark music video for "Forgiveness" was directed by Lindsey Mann. It features Glass scrawling the song's words onto mirrors with lipstick, which she later smears away. These shots are mixed with live band performance footage and scenes of her mostly underwater in a pool. Glass explained that the video was filmed in her home and was initially planned as a simple lyrics clip, but after too much tequila, they decided to shoot more spontaneous content.
