Juno

Choker's song 'Juno' delves into themes of self-absorption, change, and the often superficial nature of personal growth. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a character who is caught up in their own world, symbolized by the 'Juno bush' and the act of miming Gwen Stefani. This imagery suggests a sense of imitation and a lack of genuine self-awareness. The horizon taking a trip along her body could symbolize the vast potential and unexplored territories within oneself, yet the focus remains on superficial aspects like posters and damaged floors, hinting at neglected deeper issues.

The song critiques the character's superficiality and self-centeredness, as highlighted by the repeated phrase 'Me me me, that's all we know.' This line underscores a pervasive sense of narcissism and a lack of true understanding or empathy. The mention of joining the Peace Corps and engaging in altruistic activities like planting ferns and feeding the poor serves as a stark contrast to the earlier self-absorbed behavior. However, the skepticism in the line 'You might think you do, but I bet you don't' suggests that these actions may be more about self-image than genuine change.

Choker's use of everyday imagery, such as the iPhone background and the act of cutting down trees for a better view, further emphasizes the theme of superficiality. The question 'How's it look, baby? How's it feel?' challenges the listener to reflect on the true impact of their actions and whether they lead to meaningful change or are merely cosmetic. The song ultimately serves as a critique of modern society's tendency to prioritize appearance and self-interest over genuine growth and empathy.
