Idle Talk Lyrics
Where are you, my long lost love?
It feels like yesterday us parting
I held you closest to my thrusting heart
Now the withdrawal seems to be starting
You’re not like anyone I know
With you I flourish into greatness
Extend my arms into immense delight
Making my future vast and weightless
Quite an undertaking
All fair promises
I stopped hearing you crow
Quite an understatement
And harm surfaces that is hidden in snow
I should have kept you safe
Shielded from our Trojan war
Where are you my partisan?
The last I saw of you was sinking
Into a giant hole of nothingness
As my desire started shrinking
If I choose to take you back (if you can swallow all that pride)
If i stand up for my believing (if you can still be what I lack)
Can we make up for all the joy we lack? (where is the passion you were bringing)
Can we start giving and receiving? (what is the purpose of me giving?)
Quite an undertaking
All fair promises
I stopped hearing you crow
Quite an understatement
When harm surfaces that is hidden in snow
(It's the same)
Where are you my long lost love?
It feels like yesterday us parting
It feels like yesterday us parting
I held you closest to my thrusting heart
Now the withdrawal seems to be starting
With you I flourish into greatness
Extend my arms into immense delight
Making my future vast and weightless
All fair promises
I stopped hearing you crow
Quite an understatement
And harm surfaces that is hidden in snow
Shielded from our Trojan war
The last I saw of you was sinking
Into a giant hole of nothingness
As my desire started shrinking
If i stand up for my believing (if you can still be what I lack)
Can we make up for all the joy we lack? (where is the passion you were bringing)
Can we start giving and receiving? (what is the purpose of me giving?)
All fair promises
I stopped hearing you crow
Quite an understatement
When harm surfaces that is hidden in snow
It feels like yesterday us parting

The title of this is "Idle Talk," and I think that the lyrics of this song are meant to be from the perspective of iamamiwhoami fans, who all partake in a LOT of idle talk, haha. Every line in this song makes more sense when you think about it not as Jonna Lee singing it to her fans, but as the fans singing it to Jonna Lee. After all, it's Jonna who is the "long lost love," who we held closest to our hearts, and with whom we feel withdrawal symptoms whenever she is away. I could go further, but that'd be a waste of keystrokes. I'll let you figure the rest out for yourself. :)
