Tightrope
Balancing Act: Navigating Ambiguity
Lyrics
I been walking that tight rope, swinging in the sky
The artist expresses the challenge of navigating a difficult situation, symbolized by a tightrope, while suspended in the sky.
They just see me float and never wondered why
People observe the artist's outward composure but do not inquire about the reasons or struggles behind it.
They just think that I know, I don't, space is way to close
The perception that the artist understands the situation is incorrect; the proximity of space adds complexity to the struggle.
Bouncing when the breeze goes, but it's fine
Despite facing challenges, the artist remains resilient and accepts the situation with a positive attitude.
I been walking that tight rope, swinging in the sky
Reiteration of the tightrope metaphor, highlighting the continuous challenge of maintaining balance.
They just see me float and, keep passing me by
People continue to overlook the artist's internal struggles as they pass by.
They just think that I know, I don't
Reiterating that the artist does not possess complete understanding of the situation.
I'm walking on that thin little string in the air
The artist describes being on a fragile path, seeking a better perspective to find something worth caring about.
tryna get a better view to find a care in the world
Expressing a desire for a clearer understanding of life and hinting at the pursuit of happiness.
And I think I got the juice, take a sip, perfection in it's subtlety
Confidence in one's abilities is expressed, emphasizing the subtle perfection in the artist's skills.
Enough to take a break from my trapeze and plant a money tree
Taking a break from the challenges, possibly to focus on financial success represented by a "money tree."
I'm way too high, I can't even see the ground
Feeling elevated or distant from reality, making it hard to see the struggles faced by others.
Tryna reach the stars, I'm putting space between my peers and I
Striving for success, creating distance from peers, and aspiring to reach great heights.
If snakes could fly, I'd be surrounded by these other artists
Imagining being surrounded by deceptive individuals (snakes) in the music industry.
Tryna get apart of what I started just to vent my problems
Others attempt to join the artist's journey for personal gain, not necessarily understanding the underlying issues.
This ain't a circus but y'all watch my tricks, right
Acknowledging the audience's interest in the artist's skills, akin to watching tricks in a circus.
Y'all think y'all know me but I ain't a lick
Rejecting the notion that the audience truly knows the artist; a metaphorical "lick" signifies a trick or deceit.
I get caught up on all the analytics, sci-fi on the number crunch
Getting entangled in the analytical aspects of the music industry and its data.
Pondering why not a single label put some money up
Reflecting on the lack of financial support from record labels despite the artist's talent.
I'm running outta options outta thoughts to make a song about
Feeling limited in topics for songs and seeking opinions on whether enough has been done.
And lately got me asking everybody if I've done enough
Expressing doubt about personal achievements and questioning if more should be accomplished.
Think I'd be done by now
Reflecting on the expectation of being done with challenges, suggesting surprise at ongoing difficulties.
But at least this music biz is fun to be around, yo
Finding enjoyment in the music industry despite its challenges.
I'm walking that tight rope, swinging in the sky
Reiteration of the ongoing struggle, highlighting the artist's resilience.
They just see me float and never wondered why
Observation that people only see the artist's outward appearance, not understanding the internal battles.
They just think that I know, I don't, space is way to close
Reiterating the lack of complete understanding of the situation due to the proximity of space.
Bouncing when the breeze goes, but it's fine
Acceptance of challenges, bouncing back when faced with difficulties.
I been walking that tight rope, swinging in the sky
Repetition of the tightrope metaphor, emphasizing the ongoing struggle.
They just see me float and, keep passing me by
People continue to pass by without delving into the artist's internal world.
They just think that I know, I don't
Reiterating the misconception that the artist fully comprehends the challenges faced.
