Unveiled

Loah's song 'Unveiled' is a poetic exploration of self-expression and the journey towards belonging. The lyrics suggest that to truly belong, one must engage in a metaphorical dance, a process of self-discovery and expression. The dance represents the act of embracing one's true self and sharing it with the world. The imagery of 'savouring your moves in the womb of your being' and 'harvesting and toiling until at last they are for birthing' evokes a sense of nurturing and developing one's inner self before revealing it to others.

The repeated call to 'give us your song, your song, your song unveiled' emphasizes the importance of authenticity and vulnerability. The song suggests that true belonging comes from being open and honest about who you are. The lines 'hold your moment in dipped light' and 'when finally the moment’s grown from raw to real' highlight the patience and growth required before one can fully reveal their true self. This process is likened to a dance, where each movement is deliberate and meaningful, leading to a moment of truth and presence.

The final verse introduces the idea of going home, which can be interpreted as finding one's true place or state of being. The 'flavour of your spirit' changing and its 'form burning mist' suggest a transformation that is both chaotic and beautiful. The song concludes with a powerful affirmation of belonging, stating 'you are compelled to see this through, your ripe belonging to this place.' This reinforces the idea that the journey of self-discovery and expression is essential to finding one's place in the world.
