Bio:

Jonathan Hadley is a musician and producer whose work explores atmosphere, texture, and emotionally direct songwriting. He is the founder of Abrasive Monologues, an independent artist collective and label, and releases music both under his own name and through collaborative projects within the roster.

Jon Hadley writes music like memories… out of order, half-lit, and sharper than it should be. As the founder of Abrasive Monologues, he builds sonic and narrative spaces where friction is never a flaw… it’s the point. His work moves between music, philosophy, and narrative realism, often circling themes of cost, love, and structural truth. When he’s not writing, he’s architecting systems that let other artists do the same… louder, cleaner, and with more control than the industry ever wanted to give them.

Lyrics

I found Utopia awake
She's bleeding
I'm growing tired of reading signals
Through the ebb and flow
 
I'm wishing she would say that I am
what she's needing
But there's a disconnection
I can't overcome
 
I'm tired of hanging round
always talking to myself
but I can't let her drown
 
Can't be like everybody else
 
When heaven's doors opened
and let me in
I found a new subroutine
for my skin
I'm gonna need a new way
To define this feeling
When I knock I hope Utopia's awake
 
These razors cut with absolution
I'm not your solution
Your violence fuels the war
But not the revolution
 
You've brought me to a new world here
A world that's made of fear
 
I always thought the coil would hold
me up
But the signal's fading
We stitch our cuts
And you keep me waiting
 
When heaven's doors opened
and let me in
I found a new subroutine for my skin
I'm gonna need a new way
To define this feeling
When I knock I hope Utopia's awake
