PRE-ORDER 0STELLA'S DEBUT ALBUM PENDULUM STATE ON GOLD VINYL EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH 0stella.com/pendulum-state-vinyl-pre-order

If you could go back and intervene the very moment your six-year-old self first experienced bullying, what would you tell them? All the incredible things you're yet to experience, achieve and share all lie ahead of that little six-year-old. You will be great, no matter what the bullies say. YOU are the one THEY'LL fall to in the end. Don't let others stamp out your light.

This song was born out of writing a song a day to help a family member through an addiction relapse during lockdown.

lyrics

Left turn at a traffic light
Turn down an alleyway
Lace boots, one untied
Fast as the tears fall down her face

"Stand straight", her mother's voice
"That way your back won't break
Ignore the local boys
you know they'll all come second place"

Red skates and a ponytail
Red skates and a ponytail
You are the one they'll fall to
You are the one they'll fall to

Left turn at a traffic light
Left work way too late
Won't even recognize the girl in her face anymore

Memories passing by
Old streets and enemies
"Stand straight", her mother cried
An angel skating on thinning ice, on thinning ice

Red skates and a ponytail
Red skates and a ponytail
You are the one they'll fall to
You are the one they'll fall to

It gets hard when you're so close
When it gets hard and you're close to giving in
Remember...

You are the one they'll fall to
You are the one they'll fall to
You are the one they'll fall to
'Cause no one in the world can fault you

Red skates and a ponytail
Red skates and a ponytail
You are the one they'll fall to
You are the one they'll fall to
