The Fig
Embrace the Fig: Unveiling the Essence of Leah Senior's 'The Fig'
Lyrics
You can try so hard and feel you're still not enough
You may put in great effort but still feel inadequate.
You can sing your heart, still you feel you don't make the cut But it was hard to hear you say
Singing your heart out may not guarantee success, and the acknowledgment of not meeting expectations is difficult to accept.
You wasted your best years on the music
Regret about investing prime years in music, suggesting a perceived loss or sacrifice.
But comfort kills too
Cautioning against the complacency that comfort can bring.
Maybe the quiet would suffocate you Damned if you give but if you don't You'll be wondering what if?
Balancing the dilemma of giving or not giving, with the fear of regrets for either choice.
Reach out for the fig
Suggesting reaching out for something (represented by "the fig") as a solution or remedy.
And come back to the tune
Returning to a familiar and comforting melody or rhythm.
Break the quiet of your room
Encouraging breaking the silence of isolation, possibly in the pursuit of creativity.
There's no numbers there's no games It's just you and what you make
Emphasizing the absence of external measures (numbers or games) in the creative process.
And you can lose your mind
Acknowledging the potential for mental strain when considering various possibilities over time.
Weighing up the possibilities with time And there's no wrong or right
Stating there is no definitive right or wrong in decision-making related to personal endeavors.
It's just you and what you decide
Highlighting the importance of personal agency in decision-making.
You saw the fruit going brown in your mind
Observing the deterioration of creative ideas or inspiration in the mind.
But you've got time
Reassuring that despite the perception of creative decline, there is still time for renewal or creation.
You saw the fruit going brown in your mind
Reiteration of the concept of creative ideas fading but emphasizing the presence of time for rejuvenation.
But you've got time
Affirming that there is time available for creative pursuits despite perceived challenges.
