“I’ve got twenty... but who cares? No big deal. I want more.” - ARIEL
Surface Meaning: Ariel is talking about her collection of human objects (likely forks, combs, etc.) — she's collected 20 of them, which might seem like a lot, but to her, they’re not enough. She wants something deeper: life on land. She desires to be something more.
Spiritually Reflective Interpretation:
The Absence of Gratitude:
This lyric shows no recognition of what she already has. She’s surrounded by abundance, not just in objects, but in love, family, beauty, and a thriving community under the sea. But her desire overshadows her gratitude. This can lead us to ask ourselves:
How often do we disregard our blessings because they don’t match our expectations or ego-driven desires?
- Do we chase more because we lack appreciation for what is?
- Are we letting divine timing unfold, or are we trying to control the narrative out of discontent?
- Where in my life do I say, ‘I have enough, but it’s no big deal — I want more’?
- What would shift if I acknowledged the miracle of what I already have?
- Can I discern the voice of my soul from the voice of my ego when I say ‘I want more’?
