The Sad Truth

Jubekyth’s hard-hitting and mesmerizing debut EP, How It Feels, offers a poignant view of the challenges faced in reconciling experiences fueled by unbridled, raw emotion and the inner strength of humanity to rise above despite our circumstances, thus highlighting the delicate harmony that hangs in the balance. Beyond social commentary, melancholy and lament, the underlying message is one of resilience and grit. From denial (The Sad Truth) to desire (Strut), release (Funk It Up Till Your Breathless) to revolution (Music Revolution), and finally hope (Hey Jupiter), listeners are treated to biting introspection, and a surprisingly honest portrayal of the state of our world and our various means of coping.

Destination: holiday
I need a place to run away to
Try to keep my thoughts at bay
The clock keeps tickin’
Can’t relax
I need a change
Some time to stop to rearrange
You know, I think it’s rather strange
These thoughts I’m thinkin’

Somebody’s gotta be the best
Somebody’s gotta lead the rest
Somebody’s even more obsessed
The clock keeps tickin’
But, who am I to disagree
Let’s, give it up for Somebody
For now – I’m glad it isn’t me
That’s limelight stricken

‘Cuz I’m about to lose my mind
I’m under pressure now
I can’t imagine how
It could be greener on the other side
Don’t shine the limelight in my eyes
I’d rather make my mark
Still playin’ glow in the dark
‘Cuz I’ve got nothin’ to prove
Not tryin’ to be Somebody

Tryin’ to be Somebody
Tryin’ to be Somebody
Tryin’ to be Somebody
That’s limelight stricken

I’ve got like zero social clout
But, still that fear of missing out
Has got me turning inside out
With status checkin’
‘Cuz what if someone gives a damn
Or questions
Who I think I am
Or tags my pic on Instagram
Nice profile pickin’

Somebody’s gotta be the best
Somebody’s gotta lead the rest
Somebody’s even more obsessed
The clock keeps tickin’
But, who am I to disagree
Let’s, give it up for Somebody
For now – I’m glad it isn’t me
That’s limelight stricken

‘Cuz I’m about to lose my mind
I’m under pressure now
I can’t imagine how
It could be greener on the other side
Don’t shine the limelight in my eyes
I’d rather make my mark
Still playin’ glow in the dark
‘Cuz I’ve got nothin’ to prove
Not tryin’ to be Somebody

I want you to love me
To hold me
Download me
To share
At least care
But, at the end of the day
We’re all just one in the same
Another follow to gain
Tryin’ to verify fame
With just a check and a username

Tryin’ to be Somebody
Tryin’ to be Somebody
Tryin’ to be Somebody
That’s limelight stricken

Somebody’s gotta be the best
Somebody’s gotta lead the rest
Somebody’s even more obsessed
The clock keeps tickin’
But, who am I to disagree
Let’s, give it up for Somebody
For now – I’m glad it isn’t me
That’s limelight stricken

‘Cuz I’m about to lose my mind
I’m under pressure now
I can’t imagine how
It could be greener on the other side
Don’t shine the limelight in my eyes
I’d rather make my mark
Still playin’ glow in the dark
‘Cuz I’ve got nothin’ to prove
Not tryin’ to be Somebody

Tryin’ to be Somebody
Tryin’ to be Somebody
Tryin’ to be Somebody
That’s limelight stricken

HOLDING OUT

I’ve been holding out
I’ve been holding out
I’ve been holding out for something more
(Repeat x3)
I’ve been holding out
I’ve been holding out 
I’ve been holding out for something

Well, excuse me, Mr. Mister
I’ve got something to say
Seems there’s a lot of angry people on the planet today
Sick of the lies
Sick of the violence
Sick of nothing but noise
Sick of systemic abuse
Sick of you good ol’ boys

But in this climate of attrition
You’ve been fueling more ambitions
Than were scared into submission
By your threats of man’s perdition
Don’t be hoping for redemption
There’s no offer of exemption
While more victims are recounting 
Every violation you’re still acting out

We stand together in defiance
But no violence you’ll find
You see an eye for an eye
Just makes the whole world blind
Subvert the system from within
Subvert the system from without
Keep using peaceful noncompliance 
To provoke by holding out
(Repeat x2)

I’ve been holding out
I’ve been holding out
I’ve been holding out for something more
(Repeat x3)
I’ve been holding out
I’ve been holding out 
I’ve been holding out for something

Yeah, take a look around the globe
You see the mess that we’re in
Some say it’s just the price of simple politics in the end
No disrespect, but stop complaining ‘bout a moral decline
If in the face of clear injustice
You’re content to toe the party line

We stand together in defiance
But, no violence you’ll find
You see an eye for an eye
Just makes the whole world blind
Subvert the system from within
Subvert the system from without
Keep using peaceful noncompliance 
To provoke by holding out

I’ve been holding out
I’ve been holding out
I’ve been holding out for something more
(Repeat x3)
I’ve been holding out
I’ve been holding out 
I'll keep holding out 

You say we’re full of rage
Well it’s time for change
We’re not taking no more of your pocket change
The one percent
Two percent
Three percent
No more
We won’t submit
Or be content to settle for whatever scraps we get 
Our resistance is like nothing else the world has witnessed yet
Take our bodies, go on breaking our bones
You’re more a danger to yourself
By throwing sticks and stones
You see our dignity is something you can never afford
You said a penny for your thoughts
No thanks, we’re holding out for something more

Something more
Something more
I keep holding out for something more
(Repeat x3)
Something more
Something more
I'll keep holding out

I’ve been holding out
I’ve been holding out
I’ve been holding out for something more
(Repeat x3)
I’ve been holding out
I’ve been holding out 
I'll keep holding out 

Holding out for something more (Repeat x3)
Keep holding out

Holding Out

Freakin Out

Crave

Between rhythmic layers of driving, percussive, electric and acoustic guitars, Jubekyth’s powerful lyrics, unique vocals and interwoven harmonies deliver a message to which we all can relate. Underpinned with relentless bass and synth grooves, it couldn’t be said any better. But, are you listening?
