Finding Inner Strength and Growth in Kacey Musgraves' 'Deeper Well'

Kacey Musgraves' song 'Deeper Well' is a reflective piece that delves into personal growth, self-care, and the journey towards inner fulfillment. The lyrics begin with a reference to Saturn's return, an astrological event that occurs approximately every 27 to 29 years, marking a period of significant change and maturation in a person's life. Musgraves uses this event as a metaphor for her own transformation around the age of 27, a time when she began to notice shifts in her perspective and relationships.

The song continues to explore the theme of discernment, as Musgraves distinguishes between people who are givers and those who take without reciprocation. She resolves to distance herself from those who waste her time and exude 'dark energy,' a decision that signifies her commitment to self-care and personal boundaries. This act of letting go is portrayed as a necessary step in her journey towards finding a 'deeper well,' a metaphor for a more profound source of fulfillment and strength within herself.

Musgraves also touches on her past habits, such as using marijuana to enhance her experiences. She acknowledges that while these habits once served a purpose, they ultimately became unproductive. The song's narrative is one of evolution, as she recognizes the need to shed old patterns to allow for personal growth. The 'deeper well' she discovers is a symbol of the wisdom and resilience she gains through self-exploration and the courage to embrace change.
