This song to me sounds like reflection and guidance. A few thoughts on some of the lyrics:
"My tool for inspiration turned into a handicap"
I think this is about marijuana, and I relate to it because weed can be like that. You think you need it for (x) art, enjoyment, relaxation, etc... but it can become a handicap ... for example if you need to be stoned to enjoy anything.
Also I have always loved this lyrics in the chorus:
"Substance dulls the mind
Traife wine clouds the heart
You can't sew a stitch with one hand
While you're taking it apart"
I have felt a gravitational pull towards that lyric since I was in my late teens and abusing marijuana and other substances.
How beautiful and concise though, and true. You can't sew a stitch with one hand while you're taking it apart.
Alcohol and cannabis and substances can trick you into thinking you need them. If you wind up abusing them like me, they can pull the string apart of your life. You can't fix the problem until you take a step back and perhaps shelf the substances.
Thanks Matisyahu for a great tune.
