Das Female Alternative/Metal Five-Piece CONQUER DIVIDE, dessen Mitglieder aus den USA, Großbritannien und Kanada stammen, hat ein offizielles Musikvideo zum Track `Atonement´ rausgehauen. Der Song wird die Leadsingle des kommenden neuen Drehers sein. Seit 2020 besteht das Lineup der Damenriege aus Kiarely Castillo (Vocals), Janel Duarte (Vocals, Bass), Kristen Sturgis (Gitarre), Izzy Johnson (Gitarre) und Sam Landa (Drums),
Gitarristin Kristen Sturgis erklärt:
“The song touches on feelings of regret, which we tried to convey in the video. You can see one of our other music videos in the reflection of the eye, for example. They’re watching the time tick by wondering what their life could have been like if they would have toughed it out and put the work in. The hardest things in life are the most rewarding, and life is short. So, if you’re not ready to meet us on our level, then get out of the way.”
Und Schlagzeugerin Sam Landa fügt hinzu:
“The word atonement is about making reparations; about seeking forgiveness; about feeling sorry for something you’ve done and hoping to make things right. In the context of this song, it’s too late for that – the damage has already been done and there’s no going back. The song tries to capture the feelings of betrayal, of being left high and dry by people who wanted to take the easy way out. The emotions really explode in the breakdown, and the progression mirrors how situations like this can build up in real life. There’s a kind of calm before the storm, and then another sense of calm after. ‘We don’t know who you are’, and we’ve accepted that – just don’t try to come back and beg for forgiveness when you’ve exhausted all of your chances.”

Lyrics:
We are not the same
We built this fortress up brick by brick
‚Til you came along and tried to knock it down
Throwing knives around to see where they’d land
There’s the applause you wanted from the crowd
You watched us fighting hard against the current
Right when we needed you the most
Oh don’t you see
We don’t believe
A thing that you say
When it was easy to let go
You turned your back
A waste of my time, is all that you are
So don’t look back
Get out of my life
We don’t know who you are
Anymore
I don’t ever want to know what it feels like
To become a shell of myself just like you
Diving deep to help you find your voice
But you can’t find meaning in an empty room
We were fighting hard against the current
Right when we needed you the most
Oh don’t you see
We don’t believe
A thing that you say
When it got hard you let us go
You turned your back
A waste of my time
Is all that you are
So don’t look back
Get out of my life
We don’t know who you are
Anymore
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be a filthy rat!
We’re picking up the pieces
Your best wasn’t good enough
And if you wanted atonement
You’ll get nothing from us
You let it slip through your hands
Haunted by thoughts when you’re alone
You wonder what could’ve been
If you didn’t let it go
You turned your back
A waste of my time
Is all that you are
So don’t look back
Get out of my life
We don’t know who you are
Anymore
We don’t know who you are
We don’t know who you are
We don’t know who you are
Anymore
We are not the same
