about

A melting pot of swaying drums, poetry, smooth guitar lines and buttery vocals JESA confesses all her depth in "Black Swan". Burn the sage, light the candles and sink down into the bath and listen closely to the mantras JESA so effortlessly shares. The line "I was blinded I'm relighting my fire in the sky" is where the EP title was drawn from and signifies the moment of true acceptance, reclamation and transmutation. Centred right in the middle of 'Fire In The Sky' JESA sees this track as a crucial turning point in life written when she finally stopped running from her depression, substance abuse and began to make changes to be healthier and happier.

lyrics

I acquainted myself
with a double-edged sword
sharpened on my skin
the most unlawful win was yours
Mercy is for the weak you said
Ego filled like my bath-
tub at 3am
trying to wash off your stench
Two-faced criminal
Killed me subliminally
Too late to realise the weeds you planted inside

You're a black swan in a black pond
I'm swimming far from
I was blinded I'm relighting
My fire in the sky

Casting shadows as you pass
Causing riots in you path,
Tinted glass is transparent at last
You can paint a coward gold,
Dress em up in the nicest clothes,
I'm not sold if the truth isn't home
No I’m not sold no no no no no no no
If the truth isn’t home

You're a black swan in a black pond
I'm swimming far from
I was blinded I'm relighting
My fire in the sky

Wearing all the weather now I’m feeling better,
Dance with pain don’t let it stay,
Stare it in the face call it by name,
You can reach out and say I’m not okay,
Cause I’m finding my faith,
Get back to the place where the darkness fades,

You're a black swan in a black pond
I'm swimming far from
I was blinded I'm relighting
My fire in the sky
You're a black swan in a black pond
I'm swimming far from
I was blinded I'm relighting
My fire in the sky
My fire in the sky

Baby don’t you do me wrong
I’ll start my fire
