about

Dear ARDENITEs,

“Backstabber” emerged in an explosion of emotions, caused by the betrayal of a very close person. As an anthem to the broken hearted, the dominant emotions of the single are rage and anger! These are noticeable in the chorus and the ironically intonated rap parts.
The protagonist of the song however also struggles with feelings of helplessness & sorrow, while processing the void of an ending relationship.

This was one of our favourite videos shoots we've ever shot for one of our singles, marked by the brilliant & fun collaboration with Yan Bululukov (bulkin.photo) & Radka Klein (@nachtfrostphotography)!

With ”Backstabber” we are also showing a new side of us: more provocative, daring & ironic! Let us know if you enjoy this side of ARDENITE & share the single with all of your friends!

And let us know: What was your favourite Scene?

Hugs,
Wana White & Sebo Green from
ARDENITE

lyrics

ARDENITE - Backstabber - Lyrics:

My dear you're not looking for a friend
But someone you can use and then pretend
Like everything is okay
As long as you request and they obey
Wait a minute, what's up with all the taking
Maybe that's why your friendships are breaking
Then you're playing the victim once again

I gave you yet so many shots
But now I've had enough
Take your drama else where
So long goodbye

Backstabber, Backstabber
Not nice to meet you
Backstabber, Backstabber
Now that I see you
How do you sleep at night

Backstabber
So long goodbye
Backstabber

Why does it have to be, always like that with you
Take all that you can get, nothing in return
That's not the way it works, all that envy and scorn
In the blink of an eye, you're gonna be all alone
You can stop faking
You‘re gonna be
All alone, all alone

My, My life is so much, less complicated
I got rid of You
Got enough chances, wish you a nice life
So long goodbye

Backstabber, Backstabber
Not nice to meet you
Backstabber, Backstabber
Now that I see you
How do you live your life
Backstabber, Backstabber
Not nice to meet you
Backstabber, Backstabber
Now that I see you
How do you sleep at night

Backstabber
So long goodbye
So long goodbye

Maybe that's why your friendships are breaking
Then you're playing the victim once again

Betrayal, is what you get when you
Try to befriend a liar

Backstabber, Backstabber
Not nice to meet you
Backstabber, Backstabber
Now that I see you
How do you live your life
Backstabber, Backstabber
Not nice to meet you
Backstabber, Backstabber
Now that I see you
How do you, how do you sleep at night

Backstabber, Backstabber
You're
Backstabber, Backstabber,
A
Backstabber, Backstabber
Backstabber
Backstabber, Backstabber
Woah

Hahahaha
