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.

About this track

No Safe Distance is a song written from inside the wreckage. Home was never a shelter, only slow-burning fire. The memories do not fade, they consume, pulling you under like an undertow while the shockwave never stops echoing. Between rust, ash, and the taste of dust in your lungs, there is no escape. Even when you run, the fire follows.

Lyrics

I took so many years
But I think you finally
See the rot is here
Draped across this moment
 
You say nobody's here
That cares about
If you live or die
 
I say nobody was there
That cares about
If I burned alive
 
Caught in the shockwave
There's no safe distance
Always in harms way
 
You learn to breathe the dust
You learn to bleed the rust
 
Home couldn't be a safe space
Even in the memories we made
It's still fire
if it's burning slow
It's still fire
if it's burning slow
Doesn't matter how far I go
Still caught in the undertow
It's still fire
if it's burning slow
It's still fire
if it's burning slow
 
Have you ever had one of those memories
That you fall into so completely you get trapped
There and it just erases everything you've done
Since?
That's kind of how I think about this place sometimes
Somewhere between the dust and the ash
 
Somewhere between the flame
And where I call home
The Dust is waiting
Though I tried to walk away
There's still no safe distance here
 
Even in the shockwave I'm breathing
Just trying to hold my shape
Even in the undertow I'm trying to
Swim away
 
Home couldn't be a safe space
Even in the memories we made
It's still fire
if it's burning slow
It's still fire
if it's burning slow
Doesn't matter how far I go
Still caught in the undertow
It's still fire
if it's burning slow
It's still fire
if it's burning slow
