About This Track

‘Forgiveness’ by Ought is a rock track from the album ‘More Than Any Other Day’, released in 2014. The lyrics treat forgiveness as something ingested with a flippant shrug, choosing not to heal and not to “stomach” the prospect of what comes next, while the voice seems stuck in waiting. It’s a bleak, stubbornly self-aware angle on pardon, more withdrawal than release.

"Forgiveness" is a track by Ought, from the album More Than Any Other Day, released 28th April 2014. The track is 4:52 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Ought.

Lyrics

Forgiveness

Yeah, forgiveness is a drug
That you take with a shrug
Say, I'd rather not heal
Not stomach my next meal
While I wait, wait

Yeah, forgiveness is a drug
That you take with a shrug
Say, I'd rather not heal
Not stomach my next meal
And while I wait, while I wait

    Ought - Room Inside The World

    Despite the bleakness and uncertainty, ultimately it’s an album of hope and beauty.
