about
Your Love Is Weird! looks at the different ways in which we express our love, and how peculiar and often toxic these expressions can be. Kiyanosh wrote this track in Iran while visiting his family. Being born and raised in Australia, there are obviously so many different ways of living, thinking and behaving that we often forget how different it is on the other side of the world and how differently people can express love. The track explores this idea and how to cope with it and make sense of it all.
lyrics
Lyrics:
I want to love you like I love my favourite rapper
Or the way you care for family when they need looking after
Your love is weird, it’s selective & deceptive
I don’t respect it, it’s not love if there’s an objective
See we work so hard on so much shit
But we don’t work on anything more than ourselves
& with all hard work comes some help
So this for all the love we never felt
This for all the kindness we ain’t show just in case we look stupid
Build a foundation just to remove it
I see pain, everywhere I go, it’s a predicament
Especially when we just kickin it
Your love is weird, it’s selfish & jealous
& about as honest as what the government tell us
Your love is a joke without the punchline
Awkward smile & a waste of my sunshine
Rest In Peace Bob Einstein, a hero & a star
Comedians don’t know just how important they are
Live 3 lifetimes & cram it in a bar
Family don’t understand it so we just jamming in the car
Ha, far from my house but I’m home
& its snowing in Iran so I’m finally not alone
Ha, far from my house but I’m home
& its snowing in Iran, so I roam & I roam
& I’m grown nowadays so uhh, I should probably speak up
But I don’t want the family dinner to start to heat up
Your love is weird, you tell me what to do
& I don’t say shit I just sit and look at you
Like damn, acceptance is one hell of a concept
Granny still asking me when I’m getting my doctorate
& I could try explain my conscience
But honestly,
I don’t pay much mind to nonsense
Been calm since
I ponder this a lot
I don’t love my mother any different to my brothers, lemme simplify the plot
It’s all love
And it’s all one for me
It’s like all these gods, see they all dumb to me
Cause they all the same really
& we find the smallest differences to seperate & claim ours best, a shame really
And we use this train of thought to seperate people, cultures, religions, us from the creatures
& what does it teach us?
Nothing
Your love is selective & hypocritical
So don’t you dare claim spiritual
I see pain, everywhere I go, it’s a mess
& then you ask why I’m depressed
Guess, guess, guess
No longer am I "yes, yes, yes"
Tension gimme stress but I no longer care
So I will fight back if you bring it over here
Or just think of her & everybody disappear
"Your Love Is Weird!", but atleast it’s something
How much longer can a brother keep the speakers pumping?
Love me, love me, etc, etc..
