Hiraeth by Mailto published on 2022-02-18T18:20:17Z 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 Genre Melodic Dubstep Comment by Asia Camacho this gives me MySpace days nostalgia like I need the link lmao 2022-11-23T02:04:19Z Comment by swalloweding shiiiii 2022-06-30T01:31:27Z Comment by Mailto @florette_u273f: :] 2022-06-23T19:40:41Z Comment by wtrclr god i love your vocals this is so good 2022-05-22T16:25:40Z Comment by wtrclr <3 2022-05-22T16:23:54Z Comment by Oncill i think i left a comment on one of your tracks a couple years ago that explained why watching your growth as an artist has been so satisfying for me, idk where it went but it still stands, 2022-04-22T13:32:34Z Comment by Oncill WHOAAAA 2022-04-22T13:29:07Z Comment by 13 ALPHA ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 2022-03-02T11:19:12Z Comment by MyMemoriesAreLost Honestly your music just keeps getting more amazing <3 love this so much! 2022-02-21T17:51:04Z Comment by ghostmemory SO GOOD WTF 2022-02-20T20:25:45Z Comment by 𝙰 𝚕 𝚎 𝚡 𝙰 𝚕 𝚎 𝚡 ma boi :') 2022-02-19T23:08:27Z Comment by Mailto @trales_url aahahah <3 2022-02-19T03:56:06Z Comment by bker MGMT (Bonnie J.
