Lowen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm beginning to forget what your face looks like
I'm beginning to forget how your eyes smolder like stars in the countryside
Bright little embers in the northern lights
Angel
I'm beginning to dissipate the clouds I found
I'm beginning to dissipate the mist creeping through the air vents
You lit up, my dear little moon
I had enough
My head hurt like the afternoon
You lit up and now I can see the walls
Close enough to feel anything at all
Firefly
I'm beginning to come down from this night long high
I'm beginning to grasp what is meant by kindness: I can't have it
I won't let myself lose this Hiraeth
You lit up, my dear little moon
I had enough
My head hurt like the afternoon
You lit up and now I can see the walls
Close enough to feel anything at all
Sweetheart

The lyrics of Lowen's song "Hiraeth" evoke a feeling of longing and nostalgia for a lost love. The singer reminisces about their significant other, expressing that they are starting to forget certain details about their appearance and the way they used to make them feel. The mention of the eyes smoldering like stars in the countryside and bright embers in the northern lights paints a vivid picture of the intensity and beauty of their love. However, as the song progresses, it becomes evident that the relationship has ended or is no longer accessible.
The lyrics continue to describe the attempts to move on from the loss. The clouds and mist represent the emotional barriers that need to be cleared, and the fume of the past lover's presence is compared to a tune that lingers and weaves through the singer's thoughts. The chorus emphasizes the pain and confusion experienced after the breakup but also hints at a newfound clarity. The walls that were once blocking their emotions are now close enough to be felt, symbolizing a willingness to let themselves feel again.
In the final verse, the mention of a firefly highlights the fleeting nature of happiness, suggesting that the initial high of the relationship has dissipated. The singer acknowledges that kindness is something they can no longer have and resigns themselves to holding on to the hiraeth, a Welsh word meaning a longing for a place or time that no longer exists. This captures the overall theme of the song, emphasizing the pangs of missing someone and the struggle to let go while simultaneously finding a way to move forward.

I'm slowly losing the memory of your appearance

Beloved
I'm beginning to dissipate the clouds I found
I'm starting to disperse the metaphorical clouds of sadness or uncertainty
I'm beginning to dissipate the mist creeping through the air vents
I'm gradually clearing away the metaphorical fog seeping in through the openings
The fume of you weaving like a tune
The essence of your presence intertwined like a musical melody
You lit up, my dear little moon
You illuminated my life, my beloved companion
I had enough
I reached my limit
My head hurt like the afternoon
I experienced throbbing pain in my mind, much like the discomfort of an oppressively hot afternoon
You lit up and now I can see the walls
Your radiance allowed me to perceive the barriers surrounding me
Close enough to feel anything at all
In such proximity that I can sense any emotions or sensations
Firefly

I'm beginning to come down from this night long high
I'm starting to descend from the euphoric state that lasted throughout the night
I'm beginning to grasp what is meant by kindness: I can't have it
I'm starting to understand the true meaning of kindness, but I still feel unworthy of receiving it
I won't let myself lose this Hiraeth
I refuse to let go of this deep longing and nostalgia
