Figure It Out
Eggy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I somehow feel unsure
I feel like the whole damn room
Looks different than before
I'm talkin' bout the way the sun lights up the room
Everyday I wake up just a minute to soon
Well there's a look in your eye that's tellin' me why
There is a time and a place for this
When it comes you better know what it is
You can circle around and around and about
'Til we figure it out
I look at my life
And all the things I've done
I consider it bliss
Now that we're here with everyone
It's easier to think of all the way things could have gone
Of all the things that I've done wrong
Everyone has something at home that they fear
So let's have some fun as long as we're here
There is a time and a place for this
When it comes you better know what it is
You can circle around and around and about
'Til we figure it out, figure it out
There is a time and a place for this
When it comes you better know what it is
You can circle around and around and about
'Til we figure it out
If things were more clear
What else could I see?
I couldn't predict
Where my life would be
I'll take each day as it comes and won't turn back
I'll think what I've got and not what I lack
I may rise or fall or lose it all
But I know in the end I'm gonna stand tall
There is a time and a place for this
When it comes you better know what it is
You can circle around and around and about
'Til we figure it out
There is a time and a place for this
When it comes you better know what it is
You can circle around and around and about
'Til we figure it out
In "Figure It Out," Eggy sings about feeling uncertain and unsure about his surroundings, even in the comfort of his own home. He notes how the way the sun shines through his room has changed and even questions his own perception. Despite the uncertainty, Eggy acknowledges that there is a time and place for figuring things out, but sometimes it may take some circling around to get there. He reflects on his life and accepts that while he may not always know what the future holds, he will take each day as it comes and stand tall in the end.
The lyrics in this song convey a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty that many people can relate to. The use of the phrase "figure it out" is a common expression that refers to finding a solution to a problem, but Eggy uses it in a broader sense to explore deeper questions about life and the unknown.

I'm here in my home
Currently in my place of residence
But I somehow feel unsure
Despite being home, I don't feel certain
I feel like the whole damn room
The entire space around me
Looks different than before
Appears changed from a prior perception
I'm talkin' bout the way the sun lights up the room
Referring to how light enters the area
Everyday I wake up just a minute to soon
I arise earlier than I would prefer
Well there's a look in your eye that's tellin' me why
You're giving me an indication of understanding
But I guess for now I'll let it pass by
But I'll ignore it for the moment
There is a time and a place for this
A specific moment and location is necessary
When it comes you better know what it is
You need to recognize when it occurs
You can circle around and around and about
You can keep trying different approaches
Til we figure it out
Until a solution is found
I look at my life
Reflection on personal experiences
And all the things I've done
Recalling past actions
I consider it bliss
View it as a source of happiness
Now that we're here with everyone
Currently in the presence of others
It's easier to think of all the way things could have gone
Simple to imagine alternative outcomes
Of all the things that I've done wrong
Reflecting on previous mistakes
Everyone has something at home that they fear
All households have an element of anxiety
So let's have some fun as long as we're here
Enjoy the moment while we can
If things were more clear
If circumstances were easier to comprehend
What else could I see?
What other perspectives would be available?
I couldn't predict
It wouldn't be possible to anticipate
Where my life would be
The path that my existence would follow
I'll take each day as it comes and won't turn back
Live one day at a time and refuse to dwell on the past
I'll think what I've got and not what I lack
Appreciate current possessions instead of what's missing
I may rise or fall or lose it all
Experience highs and lows, or even total failure
But I know in the end I'm gonna stand tall
However, I'm confident in my ultimate triumph
There is a time and a place for this
A moment and location must be appropriate
When it comes you better know what it is
Recognize timing and setting when it arises
You can circle around and around and about
Cycle through various approaches and options
Til we figure it out
Until a solution is reached
