Onoken - Albaforia (glasse flip)

isolate

The eighth track of my sophomore album, Hiraeth.

Wow! Only one more left and the albums out. This one is sort of a center piece of the record for me, and really encapsulates everything I was feeling while writing it. The word Hiraeth is Welsh in origin, and has a few specific meanings. The one that resonates with me in particular is as follows: (n.) homesickness for a home to which you cannot return, a home which maybe never was; the nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past. Last year, I had really negative falling outs with a few close friends, which led to homes I felt at place in being destroyed. I struggled so intensely with this, and this track is a deconstruction of everything running through my head at the time. I hope you enjoy!


Intro:

The sun, oh it's burning
It's ripping through
Us all tonight
Immaterial, it's not all right here

Verse 1:

You wanted it all and you had it
Your 15 minutes go straight into static

You flew too close to the sun tonight
I can see your hiraeth a mile away
Is all of this just a joke to you
You'd never know what it meant until it's gone too soon

I can see your soul, you're just a broken mess
What if I told you your life was just a fuckin' test
For people more observant to follow your step
I know you know the rest, oh you know the rest

Verse 2:

I thought this was the part I'd think about my life
I guess when I'm here, I'm just obsessed with the strife
It just infects my mind, I guess it never leaves
It's in the back of my head, whatever I achieve

The afterimage of everything I made for you
It's time to burn it out, I guess I know the truth
It doesn't hurt any less, but at least I know
My hiraeth of us, it  isn't just for show

Bridge:

You go away
and I know
I won't feel
Like this forever

Chorus:

Your miserable façade won't last much longer
This is just a cloud in skies of many more 

You and I saw
You and I saw
You and I saw
My empire fall before our eyes

EDIT1: slightly adjusted vocals

Hiraeth

The closing track of my sophomore album, Hiraeth

I started making this album at one of the darkest points of my life. Halfway through its creation, the experiences and memories I wrote about occurred again, a mirror image in reality to the thoughts I couldn't get out of my head while writing this. Hiraeth is an album about a story bifurcated, a moment becoming a pattern and a pattern ruling my mind.

I began writing when I was 17, and ended closely after my 19th birthday. Hiraeth is a welsh word with many meanings, none of which easily translatable into English, but vaguely meaning "a homesickness for a home you cannot return to, or that never was." Laying in bed, after two of the communities I cherished most were destroyed, due in no small part to my own  actions, I felt a connection to this idea unlike I had in a very long time.

This is an album about connection, loss, betrayal, innocence, immaturity, and most of all, grief. In December of 2020, I wrote 7 30 second demos in a burst of creativity that I had  not felt before or since, and all of which I slowly tooled into tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 9. This album, so grounded in these themes was the first time I had been able to put every idea I had into sound flawlessly. I wrote so many of these songs in a place of pure  distress and unwellness, but as I came closer to finishing, it became harder to maintain  the themes of nearly pure desperation I entered with.

I realized I had started becoming happy. That I was moving on, and that this was a step in my life that I had already moved past. When the second community crumbled, I was more distraught than before. I added new songs, and sunk deeper into a pit of self-hatred and isolation to finish this project. But joy prevailed. There are two moments a metronome is used on this album. "If I Apologize", the first song finished after the second community crumbled, and "Only A Moment", the first song finished after I realized I was okay. I look back, and realize as well as these themes, Hiraeth is an album about perseverance. An album about pulling through the hardest parts of my childhood and coming out the other side happy. Hiraeth is an album about love. I hope you find that as well.

[Verse]

I walk, as the sun is beaming down
To a tree extending branches full of sap and blooming flowers
It's all I ever asked

But its everything I always wanted
Just the pieces rearranged
Small cracks filled in with epoxy its only a moment until-

Only A Moment Until-

EGOIST
