about

Off the back of her bold return, JESA unveils her daring release “Under-Deeper”. A flourishing track drenched in psychedelic and gritty undertones, “Under-Deeper” has an edge, revealing an intriguing new layer to JESA’s poignant style.

Tied together with thought-provoking lyrics and swirling grunge textures, JESA draws creative inspiration from all corners including Radiohead and Phoebe Bridgers to local legends Eliza & The Delusionals.

Echoing her struggles with mental health, “Under-Deeper” sonically mirrors her battles with panic attacks and staying strong in the face of anxiety. Offering brooding chords and melancholy-infused soundscapes, JESA’s raw emotion is front and centre.

JESA speaks on the themes of “Under-Deeper”, “I wanted to tackle my anxiety and speak to the wild youth with a high-energy, heart-racing track. The waves of instrumentation reflect the lyrics, that represent all the rage, fear and chaos of this particular time in my life”

lyrics

All the little stuff soon weighs a ton,
It stacks up, it stacks up,
Too much to handle on my own,
It Over-flows, it over-flows,

Racing heart, sweaty palms,
Sharp stab in my lungs,

I go under,
Under-deeper,
Down in the valley, I go under-water,
I go under,
Under-deeper,
Down in the valley, I go under-water,

Switch the pressure off wish I could,
It builds up, it builds up,
Receiving mostly doubt, interferes,
It overrides, my state of mind,

Racing heart, sweaty palms,
Sharp stab in my lungs,

I go under,
Under-deeper,
Down in the valley, I go under-water,
Down in the valley, I go under-water

Panic-striken, sirens screaming,
Restless thinking, body’s frozen
Down in the valley, down in the valley
Down in the valley, down in the valley,
Blurry vision, silently bleed,
I need you to resuscitate me,
Down in the valley, down in the valley,
Down in the valley, Down in the valley,

Racing heart, sweaty palms,
Sharp stab in my lungs,

I go under,
Under-deeper,
Down in the valley, I go under-water,
Down in the valley, I go under-water,

I go under (I go down)
Under-deeper (see me sliding)
I go under (Drag me down)
Under-deeper

I go under
Under-deeper
I go under
Under-deeper

Under-deeper, Under-deeper
