Vienna began singing at age 6. During her teenage years, her mother helped V start her first singing group with her best friend Candice. The duo, known as Harmony, sang everywhere from local churches to major platforms. At the age of 15, V’s manager brought the group to noted producer, ’SPEC’ to produce Harmony’s new album. In 2005, the group disbanded. Before long, V signed a deal with Spechouse Media which assisted her in gaining more exposure-especially in northern California.

forgive me
V. Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel so dumb
I fell for temptation
Lord what have I done?
I never meant for this to get so out of hand
But he lied to me
And he told me that You'd never understand
But it was never in my plan
To become the liar
Become the cheater
Become the murderer
I know you've heard of her
Become the dealer
Become the user
Become the hater
Become the abuser
And after all of my failure and sinning
Jesus still wants to save me and live in me
So if Jesus can
Then why can't you...
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
I was so guilty
Now I'm repenting
Lord will you fill me
I'll go where you send me
Forgive me
I was so lonely
He was so kind
He said that he loved me
How could I deny?
I never for this to get so out of hand
But he lied to me
And he told me that You'd never understand
But it was never in my plan...
To become the liar
Become the cheater
Become the murderer
I know you've heard of her
Become the dealer
Become the user
Become the hater
Become the abuser
And after all of my failure and sinning
Jesus still wants to save me and live in me
So if Jesus can
Then why can't you...
Forgive me
Forgive me
I know what I did was wrong
But how long will you let this go on?
Everyone else has moved on
But you still won't let it go...
Man I can't let go and this is my cry for help
To forgive myself
So please help me forgive me
You showed me You loved me
Don't have to feel guilty
I fall on my knees now
Receive what You give me
The lyrics to V. Rose's song Forgive Me delve into the emotional turmoil of a person who is seeking redemption for their past mistakes. The opening line "I feel so dirty, I feel so dumb" sets the tone for the rest of the song, giving listeners the idea that the subject of the song is weighed down by the weight of their guilt. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the subject fell into temptation and made a grave mistake, and now they feel utterly ashamed.
The line "But he lied to me, and he told me that You'd never understand, but it was never in my plan" shows that the subject was misled, but also that they're trying to deflect the blame from themselves. However, the acknowledgment of their role in the mistake becomes clearer as the song continues. The repeated refrain "Forgive me" underscores the subject's deep remorse and their fervent desire to be forgiven for their transgression.
The song shows how despite failing and sinning, the subject is hopeful that Jesus still wants to save them and live in them. This is a song about the power of forgiveness and the need for redemption in the face of our shortcomings. It calls for others to be as forgiving as Christ and to offer love and acceptance to those who have fallen short.
