“Learning the Feeling” begins with talker talking about how time gets away from us when every day seems the same and echoing how habits can become their own kind of prison until we decide to change them. The song’s dark undertones paired with Suzanne Vega-esque vocals, elegantly moody guitar figure give the a nice contrast to when everything kicks into more blustery emotional spaces crossing over into the realm of modern pop. It reflects the emotional journey of the song that transitions with the line “I’ve been keeping quiet, what has silence done for me?” From thre our narrator breaks free of her old habits and finally feels like she can breathe, a metaphor for living, by not keeping in her feelings, in fact “learning the feeling” of what it’s like to be able to come into one’s full truth and not having to suppress it at long last, to learn to embrace and trust her feelings rather than give heed to any gaslighting.
