Joji - Past Won't Leave My Bed (Review & Lyrics)
[translate:Joji's “I try to move on, but the past won’t leave my bed.”] That line returns repeatedly in Joji’s latest single, Past Won’t Leave My Bed, released November 7 as the third preview from Piss In The Wind (coming February 6, 2026). It’s not a forced metaphor but a plain truth, giving the song a strong emotional impact.
This track recalls the Joji behind hits like Glimpse of Us and Die For You. Produced by Dan Farber, the song features stripped-down instrumentation with warped guitars and minimal percussion. Joji’s voice takes center stage, captured in that half-asleep state where memories of someone linger intensely.
The lyrics express a feeling of being stuck—not sad or moving forward, just trapped in the past. He sings about haunted rooms and shadows blurring reality and imagination. At one point, he describes hallucinations blending together, the delivery revealing his weariness and emotional burden.
The music video premiered the same day on YouTube, echoing the intimate style of Glimpse of Us. Here, the mood shifts from raw pain to lingering ache, like scar tissue sensitive to changing weather.
Past Won’t Leave My Bed is track eleven on the 21-song album Piss In The Wind, placed near the end where the tone grows quieter and more introspective.
“I try to move on, but the past won’t leave my bed.”
Summary: Joji’s stripped-back single captures a haunting emotional state, reflecting on the paralysis of clinging to a past that refuses to fade.
