Shaylen - Forgive Myself (Music Video)
Shaylen is getting real and personal with us in her music video ‘Forgive Myself’ and we’re all for it! The beginning shot shows Shaylen sprawled out in her bed saying how she isn’t quite sure how to love herself without someone in her bed and how she doesn’t know how to be alone.
While she’s still stuck lying in her bed another version of her comes in the scene saying she’s ready to change and tired of hurting those around her. These two sit across a table staring intently into each others eyes saying how in order to love herself again, she must forgive herself first. She can’t seem to take anyone’s advice and needs to take a pause and really absorb what her friends are telling her.
We love the buoyancy of the song as it picks up when Shaylen’s mood starts to get better as well! We love the symbolism displayed throughout the song as Shaylen’s seen looking at herself in the mirror while the lyrics “Till I look in the mirror and don’t hate who’s there,” pull up. Shaylen we admire you for putting it all out there and let us tell you, while you’re learning to love yourself, just know we are here loving you!
Lyrics That Stick:
“Feel like a psycho living in this hell
Don’t owe nobody nothing
I won’t leave this apartment
Till I look in the mirror and don’t hate myself.”
