The first step is admittance with a smidgen of denial. They deepen the sense of acceptance by taking the person through a few stages. I do not want you to go, but I don’t know how to stop youĪs a sample of Jhene Aiko’s “ The Pressure“, the last stanzas are much more straightforward and frank. This projection keeps people trapped in a cycle until they are fed up and ready to leave. Sometimes what we project doesn’t exist within others, but instead only exist within ourselves. She realizes that sometimes we project the things we want onto other people. This propels her out of the emotional depths that entrap her. Instead of burying her emotions, however, she puts her energy into illuminating what’s before her. The ability to accept things for what they are isn’t always easy, but when Willow allows her emotions to flow free, she gets lost between what was and what is. She alludes to that latter half more in the hook and ending. ![]() One interpretation that can be drawn from these accounts is that two people/entities/ ideas that once had mutual feelings of love/understanding/cohesion collided and resulted in one person being thrown out of balance.Īlthough she was thrown for a loop, she accepts and owns the differences that have come to fruition and is strengthened by both that sense of acceptance and her defensive, “stain steel sphere” barrier she puts up emotionally. These two accounts of who/what Tiamat is provide another layer of understanding for the first verse. One half was said to have become the Earth while the other half was smashed into smaller pieces and became an asteroid belt. It is believed that the planet Marduk and its moons collided with and split Tiamat into two halves. The second story of Tiamat is a planetary theory.

To the top of the pyramid let’s save the world like thisĬonversing with light bodies, but really they’re all apart of me I know, I come from that planet that hit Tiamat I bet you have questions, like where did I come from I’m just floating, in a stain steel sphere It explores the process of letting your own energy manifest while learning how to let go. Lyrically, the song is beautiful and contains a refreshing amount of thought and depth. ![]() It’s one of those songs on your playlist that you just relax and vibe to. The sound is tranquil with futuristic elements, and some of Willow’s ad-libs are reminiscent of spiritual chanting. Listening to “ Female Energy” makes you feel as though you’re meditating somewhere above the Milky Way. It is remarkable to watch her growth and there is no better song to highlight that growth than ” Female Energy”. In a few short years, we have watched this young lady go from simply sharing her appetite for wonder to exploring topics in a way that people rarely share. At 14 years of age Willow Smith does a lot more than just whip her hair.
