Song meaning of Unsteady by Gracie Abrams

Ah, "Unsteady" by Gracie Abrams, the anthem for all the socially awkward introverts out there. In this song, Gracie beautifully captures the struggles of feeling like an island and wanting to go home, but hey, why go home when you can fight that feeling and stay in the land of discomfort? People freak her out, and she panics. She's supposed to be cool, but nah, panic looks better on her. And, just when she's minding her own business, out of the blue, she ends up on the ground because, you know, life is just one big stumble for her. It's so hard when it feels like it's her fault, and she keeps everyone at a distance because, well, when she goes dark (which happens often), things get a little crazy. Like a haunted house, but with more awkward social interactions. The girl in the mirror is a stranger at parties, where she talks without making a sound, which is quite a talent, I must say. Like a violet shrinking down, she feels smaller and smaller with each passing moment. And let's not forget, she's been staring at the ceiling a lot lately, which apparently brings on this funny, quiet feeling. But don't worry, none of this is changing with the seasons, so she's justified in her confusion. So, she ends the song by declaring herself unsteady over and over again, just to really cement the fact that she's got issues. And honestly, we can all relate to being a little unsteady in this crazy world, right? Bravo, Gracie. Bravo.
