"Juno 18" is a song by Hans Philip, and this is a translation of the lyrics: Once everything was oh so easy Mother's kiss and the mark disappears Tomorrow it will be good again The sun finds the heart, everything is forgotten If I could, I would change everything Keep the things that really went wrong When I see tears on your cheek It breaks my heart Once again I'm there where we grew up Every vein burns in my body The trees they planted are still standing I would show them to you if I could But I can't change everything I'm made of things I didn't choose I always let the pain in Come and break my heart Once again You taught me To be myself For all these people They have nothing on you Be yourself For all these people They have nothing on you The song "Juno 18" seems to be about reflecting on past experiences, specifically the simplicity and happiness of childhood. The singer reminisces about how things used to be easy and carefree, symbolized by the line "Once everything was oh so easy." However, as the song progresses, there is a sense of longing for those past times and a wish to change certain things. The lyrics express a desire to protect and console someone, possibly a loved one, as they go through difficult moments. The line "When I see tears on your cheek, it breaks my heart" suggests a deep emotional connection and empathy towards that person's pain. The second half of the song shifts the focus to the singer's own struggles and self-acceptance. They acknowledge that they cannot change everything and that they are shaped by circumstances beyond their control. However, the final lines encourage embracing one's true self, emphasizing that others' opinions hold no weight and that being authentic is important. Overall, "Juno 18" explores themes of nostalgia, empathy, and self-acceptance.
