about

Hear You Now is a culling of strength to reclaim one's own story. An inner monologue spoken in second person, it is meant as a rallying cry to lift one's self from the trauma of a regressive culture and collective lived experience. The song draws heavily from Jewish cultural imagery on the day of repentance (i.e. "Bow your head," "Beat your breast,") as its subject calmly and powerfully apologizes to herself and reclaims her own story.

lyrics

Bow your head
Gather up all the words you haven’t said
All the words unsaid

Take a breath
Hold on to everything that you have left

Masquerade
Always felt like a good escape
To protect what was left to take
The illusion is fading
Oh it’s fading out

And the words that you swallowed down
Tickle at the back of your mouth
Oh but they’re gonna hear you
Oh they’ll feel you
Oh they’ll see you now

Make them hear you now
Make them hear you now

Beat your breast
You held it in now lay it all to rest
Lay it all to rest

Lift away
The weight of everything you couldn’t say

Masquerade
Always felt like a good escape
To protect what was left to take
The illusion is fading
Oh it’s fading out

And the words that you swallowed down
Tickle at the back of your mouth
Oh but they’re gonna hear you
Oh they’ll feel you
Oh they’ll see you now

Make Them Hear You Now
