“Untitled 04” is a tribute to Jesse’s grandfather who had recently passed. The song is hopeful, as Jesse sings about celebrating the memory of a loved one and the afterlife.
The song opens with an 80’s synth vibe with a British-indie rock band influence, much like some of the other leaked songs. Wh...
[Verse 1]
I, I am feeling like a veteran
Uncompensated for the blood I've left to pool on foreign grounds
And I sometimes reach to rub at aching legs
But they've been dust for over a decade
And you're the limb I've lost, but somehow I still feel
[Chorus]
Until I wake, we just hope that you made it
We hope that you're celebrating with people you've missed
And burning like a beacon
Guiding our ship around this hellish shoal
I'm happy to admit that maybe I am a little depressed cause I'm missing you to death
[Verse 2]
And now there's only records of my memory
It's a little thing you gave posthumously
The details all dragged out
To think of all the paintings we could be without
If Van Gogh had gone and died face down from loss of blood the night he went and hacked his ear off
[Chorus]
Until I wake, we just hope that you made it
We hope that you're celebrating with people you've missed
And burning like a beacon
Guiding our ship around this hellish shoal
I'm happy to admit that maybe I am a little depressed cause I'm missing you to death
Until I wake, we just hope that you made it
We hope you're as decorated as the day that you left
And burning like a beacon
Guiding our ship around this hellish shoal
I'm happy to admit that maybe I am a little depressed cause I'm missing you to death
