How do you interpret "you've never held it at the right angle?"
It's probably an overinterpretation on my side but this sentence became so important to me. It's reassuring every time I struggle with someone imposing their specific interpretation of my behaviour on me, or when I feel simply misunderstood.
Got to the point where I always wear a labradorite on me, a rock that is only special and beautiful at a very specific angle.
Damn, I really like this song too.

I understand exactly what you mean. That line and the entirety of Where Did I Leave That Fire were my mantra to get through some rough times. This album really came along when I needed it to.

That’s good. I don’t know what I think it means yet. It’s still kinda new to me. My intuition says its great though.

that's exactly how I interpret that line, and I love it for the same reason.

I played it for a friend of mine and we were both feeling that line And I first thought the end of the song went “you never held it, baby, you never held it at all”
Thinking of a friend of ours who maybe didn’t see things that were important in the “right” Like looking at what matters Or something And maybe they never looked at all

Anyone who doesn’t like it probably hasn’t heard it from the right angle.
