WILLOW's song 'b i g f e e l i n g s' delves into the complex world of emotional vulnerability and the struggle to find a balance between suppressing and expressing one's feelings. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize the enormity of the artist's emotions, which are so intense that they cannot be easily silenced or released. This internal conflict suggests a state of being overwhelmed by emotions, yet feeling unable to share them with others or even fully acknowledge them oneself.

The chorus, 'I know I'm not fine, But yes, I say I'm fine,' highlights a common societal tendency to mask one's true feelings, often due to fear of judgment or a desire to appear strong and composed. WILLOW captures the dissonance between the internal experience and the external facade. The song suggests that this dissonance can lead to a sense of isolation, as one struggles with 'big feelings' alone.

The latter part of the song introduces the concept of acceptance as a form of liberation. 'Acceptance is the key, Acceptance gives me wings,' implies that embracing one's emotional state is crucial for personal growth and freedom. By accepting the full spectrum of their emotions, the individual can transcend the limitations imposed by self-repression and societal expectations. WILLOW's message is one of self-compassion and the healing power of acceptance in the face of overwhelming emotions.
