Song meaning of Closer to Fine by Indigo Girls

Ah, "Closer to Fine" by Indigo Girls, a timeless classic for all those deep thinkers out there. So, let's break it down, shall we? This song is all about the journey of self-discovery and finding your way in life. Apparently, the best thing someone did for the singer was teach them not to take life too seriously because, hey, it's only life after all! Deep stuff, guys. But wait, there's more! Darkness has an insatiable hunger, while lightness has a call so hard to hear that you might need some Polaris headphones to catch it. The singer wraps their fears around them like a cozy blanket and sailed their ship of safety until it sank. But fear not, they're crawling on your shores now... whatever that means. Apparently, they also visited a doctor who probably had a Ph.D. in Rasputin studies and graded the singer's performance. Don't worry, they got their paper and were set free, just like the birds in a well-funded research experiment. In search of answers, they also went to the mountains and drank from fountains, because nothing says enlightenment like sipping from a public water source. And, of course, we can't forget that bar visit at 3 a.m., where they sought solace in a bottle or a potential BFF. Unfortunately, they woke up with a headache that felt like they went head-to-head with a board. Ouch! So, to summarize, they go to the doctor, they go to the mountains, they look to the children, they drink from the fountains, they go to the Bible, they do some workouts, they read up on revival, and they stand up for the lookout. All these activities apparently point them in a crooked line, but hey, it's all good because the less they seek their source of answers, the closer they are to fine. So, my friends, grab your doctor's appointments, a backpack full of philosophy books, and your strongest headache remedies because we're on a quest to get closer to... well, something. Rock on, Indigo Girls! You keep us on our toes!
