This is a song that is a bit meta, talking about figuring yourself out while also figuring out the lyrics to the song itself.
lyrics
Please call me out
When you catch me just waiting around
I'm all syced out
Tell me don't start that now
Too indecisve for this
Go pick your fig
Sylvia she's already taught us this
go on go on go on
Intuitions failing me
For the first time we disagreed
Going against my gut feelings
I always start it's hard to finish
Who would have thought it'd take so long
But who would have thought this would take so long and so hard, I didn't know
To swallow precaution
Live how I want to
I've never done
Something like this before (x2)
You keep rushing me forward (x2)
I want to feel secure
I'll follow your lead (x2)
Do it for me (x2)
I've never done this
I've never done (x3)
I want to feel secure
I've never done - I've never done this

saw Thundercat for the first time recently - truly a GOAT of live performers. this album is him in his most honest, focused, and emotional state, and it beautifully intertwines his silly artistic voice with his stories of struggle and loss. the album is short and sweet - BUT, if you want to see him and his friends jam a little longer on these ideas, definitely see him live. the dude literally practices like Coltrane and it shows. zilla
