Forgive Me is the beautiful, melodic and haunting new single from ‘Lena Matienko‘. Lena Matienko’s latest single, Forgive Me, is a deeply introspective piece that explores themes of unexpressed love, emotional restraint, and the walls people build to protect themselves. Raised in Eastern Europe within a traditional family where vulnerability was often discouraged, Matienko learned to suppress her emotions, a struggle that later found its way into her music.
In Forgive Me, she delves into the experience of feeling overwhelmed by love and passion but lacking the courage to voice these emotions. The song encapsulates the pain of self-imposed isolation—pushing people away out of fear, only to realize too late how much they truly meant. With her signature blend of orchestral and electronic elements, Matienko creates an immersive and emotionally charged listening experience, inviting audiences into a world of longing and reflection.
