Lyrics and translation
Original
Track five on my album is called Eldest Daughter, and this is, it's a love song about kind of the roles that we play in our public life.
Because now, nowadays, everyone has a public life.
You have a life that you portray to other people or what you portray on social media, and then you have the you that everyone gets to know who has earned the right to be closest to you.
And it's really hard to be sincere publicly because that's not really what our culture rewards.
People reward you for being, like, tough and unbothered and, like, too busy to care.
And you may be that about some things, but everyone has things that matter to them and people that matter to them.
This song really kinda gets to the heart of when someone gets close enough to you to earn your trust, that's when you can admit to them that you actually really do care about some things.
