WHAT DOES “FORBIDDEN”
MEAN TO YOU?
That feeling of finding something new and special that others might not see. It’s that thrilling feeling of exploring new places and sharing secrets. It’s about the magic of the unknown and dreaming about things that seem just out of reach. There’s something beautiful in those hidden wishes that makes everything feel more alive..

“Forbidden” explores a secret connection blooming in silence, where desire meets danger, and hidden truths stir beneath the surface. Set in a mystical desert, it’s a story of longing, surrender, and the quiet power of what’s left unsaid
LYRICS
Patiently, I wait
Under your hold, you watch me
In secret, I plant a seed
Only the stars will know
Only the stars will see
Mentally I face these trials
But I can’t stay in denial
Yeah I’m on my knees
Yeah you got me wondering
Ohh habibi yeah
And if I speak up, will you answer
And if I speak up, will you answer
Tempting me your cup, guess I’ll take it
In forbidden land where I stand
Sand sinking
Through the cacti yeah we count up all our thorns
Before the sunlight come creepin’ out the dawn
You and I
Who would have known
Who would have known
You and I
Who would have known
Who would have known
