"Feeling for so long that i had to compromise/downplay my power, intelligence or talent in order not to threaten and lose the affection of those that i loved. there being this underlying belief that somehow both people couldn’t share the power, that one person had to win and that the other had to “lose.” my wanting for it to have been possible for both people to “win.” with being in the public eye since i was young, those that were close to me often felt as though i was being inundated with praise from so many people that they themselves (the people i was closest to) wouldn’t acknowledge what "i was doing”." |

"The choruses in this song are about my having been excited with the newly discovered opportunity that i saw—the relationship i was in—and what it was providing for the both of us. i had never understood the healing quality of safety and intimacy, or the consciousness that was required of me to be in that kind of relationship until that point. the verses are my recounting three separate conversations/experiences." |

"Revelations based on what happened in the past three years in particular. fame, money, “status”…constantly feeling that i had to look outside of myself to see who i was and to feel bliss. having to “achieve,” run, grasp or “become” something other than what i was in order to be worthy/accepted. putting it down on paper made me realize the disservice i was doing to my true self and how transparent and unfulfilling it can be to put all my happiness in the hands of external brass rings." |
