about
“Beneath the chilly moonglow one ponders the delicious conundrum of the Forbidden. The thrill of diving into the depths of desire to satiate an unnamable yearning. In the grand opera of life, some find their hearts drawn to the most enigmatic of duets. A dance shrouded in secrecy, away from the prying eyes of the world’s chorus. In the covert corners of existence, Forbidden romances bloom like exotic flowers, their allure only heightened by their veiled nature. “I know you’re craving; we were outcasts all along,” whispers the siren song of the heart, a tune as old as time yet ever fresh to those who dare to listen. Perhaps it’s not about right and wrong but the irresistible pull of the tantalizing Forbidden. The eerie video delves into this mystery realm with gusto, taking us on a strange sojourn into the twilight. The haunting voice of Pete Mills serves as a guiding light through this shadowy adventure, cutting through the darkness with the intensity and warmth of a candle’s flame. His earnest croon adds a layer of depth and sincerity. The protagonists, outcasts by nature, grapple with their desires in the shadows. Amidst secrets and whispers, their passion is intense yet prohibited, leading them to a paradise where they are exiled, consumed by a dark and irresistible love.”

lyrics
Moonlight through my window
The world around us sleeps
Lamp lights the darkness
From the shadows that we keep
I know your waiting
In the twilight until dawn
I know you’re craving
We were outcasts all along
Maybe we were wrong to do it
Or just sick for what we need
Forbidden Forbidden Forbidden
Forbidden Forbidden
We fall into the waves of paradise
Exiled for life
Forbidden Forbidden
Forbidden Forbidden
Secrets, cut like scissors
Through the truth, down below
Poisonous whispers
How much do they know?
Forbidden Forbidden Forbidden
Forbidden Forbidden
We fall into the waves of paradise
Exiled for life
Forbidden Forbidden
Forbidden Forbidden
Every night the sun sets slowly
My darkened heart so controls me
Beneath the silver moon I can’t wait to taste you
I’m sucked into the black hole of your arms
Forbidden Forbidden
Forbidden Forbidden
Fall into the waves of paradise
Exiled for life
Forbidden Forbidden
Forbidden Forbidden
Couldn’t keep myself away although I tried
Burned by your fire
Forbidden Forbidden
Forbidden Forbidden
