jønø/jono - hiraeth lyrics

[chorus:]
i know that you’ve been through the worst
you’re gonna be okay, it’s not always gonna be this way

[verse 1:]
dearly depressed, and suicidal
you know that stirring in your chest ain’t a new arrival
your actions paint a wax and wane, like a lunar cycle
a classic case of scatterbrain that navigates past the pain that’s carrying weight
and gravitates towards the tightrope
but distraction is a bottleneck to healing
a convalescent reeling, a botched attempt through odds and ends
at throwing me off the scent of condescending constant threats and
going beyond the depth of feeling
but it’s a real thing; don’t leave the grief unresolved
there’s a yielding between release and relief with love and loss
it cuts across and annihilates like a tidal wave
it violates your time and sp+ce
and leaves you wide awake in a heightened state of dire straits
you wanna hideaway from cybersp+ce and isolate
behind the safety net of silent places and hibernation or pints of ale
but believe this: you’ll try and fail to budge
cos grief is the price to pay for love
[chorus:]
i know that you’ve been through the worst
you’re gonna be okay, it’s not always gonna be this way

[verse 2:]
what a strange knowing of unknowing:
how do you hold what you can’t let go and
how are you homesick yet not know what home is?
can’t be with people and you can’t be alone in your own skin; how to roll with
resentment set in fragments, and everyone requires proof
depression is a dragon; you’re the opposite of fireproof
emotional autopilot gloom, you really haven’t got the slightest clue
the structure of your culture is discoloured when you’re twice removed
from history that’s more than what you’re taught in your colonial course
more than just covid and internment camps and opium wars
racism disgracing nations, chained to the chasing of paper
complacent to the pain of generational rage against slave trades and failing to
pay the wage for labour, they say it ain’t the day to wake and breakaway
and lay to waste the cages placed to pace the change in our nature
in asia, you’re australian; in australia, you’re asian
it’s displacing to gaze at broken smoke and mirrors to see two faces

[chorus:]
i know that you’ve been through the worst
you’re gonna be okay, it’s not always gonna be this way
[verse 3:]
there’s a confession here to make
a reckoning to face, a heritage to claim
from the treacherous everest precipice of fate
the rhetoric is relative when identity is at stake
are you a wretched devil’s heretic for wrestling with faith?
and does questioning in prayer cause connection to be estranged?
never get the gist of grace to think you know the best there is to say
when everything held sacred seems an edifice of fake
you believe christ’s crucifixion and resurrection from the grave
but is it true religion, truth or fiction, when it’s not reflected in the “saints”?
so many abuse the system with their ethics held at bay:
overstep their jurisdiction and intellectually sedate
altar/alter egos aren’t biblical; this is no blessed union
you don’t become more spiritual by becoming less human
ill at ease to build and weave soliloquies and fill all three
concealing seeds that actually, the addressee here is really me

[chorus:]
i know that you’ve been through the worst
you’re gonna be okay, it’s not always gonna be this way
