While Jonah is a classically-trained guitarist, his musical talents extend well beyond the realm of strings. Drawing inspiration from a wide array of musicians such as Noah Kahan, Ed Sheeran, Anson Seabra, Julia Michaels, Lost Frequencies, RÜFÜS DU SOL, and Kygo, Jonah creates music meant to transcend genre-norms.
When he's not creating music, Jonah is either escaping into nature, trying to convince someone to let him pet their dog, or watching horror movies.
Turbulence
jonah kagen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But lately you've been feeling like you′re okay alone
But we're not gonna crash, go down in flames and broken glass
'Cause you and I are built to last, if you want
It′s just a little turbulence, turbulence
To know we will find our feet again so fast
And all these arguments, and self-defense
It′s just a little turbulence
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
'Cause maybe, we could be like trees
Bending in the breeze, so we can take a storm
′Cause feelings only last about a minute-and-a-half
90 seconds and you'll laugh ′cause they're gone
It's just a little turbulence, turbulence
To know we will find our feet again so fast
And all these arguments, and self-defense
You don′t see it now, but I promise it′ll pass
It's just a little turbulence
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Mmm-mm
Mmm-mm
Mmm-mm
Mmm-mm
It′s just a little turbulence, turbulence
I know we will find our feet again so fast
And all these arguments, and self-defense
You don't see it now, but I promise it′ll pass
It's just a little turbulence
In "Turbulence," Jonah Kagen tries to provide reassurance to his partner about the challenges they may face in their relationship. He acknowledges that his partner may feel self-sufficient and not require his presence in her life. But he assures her that while turbulence is inevitable, it's not necessarily a precursor to a crash or a disaster. He emphasizes how both of them are built to withstand any difficulties, and with time, things will eventually settle down. He proposes that the key to weathering any storm is to be resilient like trees and able to bend in the face of strong winds, just as relationships should be able to adapt to any circumstances.
The song offers a message of hope and resilience, stating that no matter what, one can always learn to adapt and bend with the circumstances. The lyrics tell us that relationships are much like trees; they may face a great deal of turbulence, but with time and patience, they can weather the storm. The song is a reminder that stormy weather is temporary and can be conquered, just like in any relationship.
