The “Fine Line” between heartbreak and love

The Foxies preforming on the Hereditary Tour with Cassadee Pope and Natalia Taylar at Motorco in Durham, NC.

After a long two-year hiatus of releasing music, The Foxies have dropped their newest single titled “Fine Line”. This song is about how longing for what could be can lead to heartbreak in a more complicated form, as well as the realization of admitting feelings before it’s too late, and leaving fans wondering what is in store for the band this year.

“Guess I needed Ignorance to get you off my mind / So I’m covering the space between loneliness and heartbeat at the bottom.”

Throughout the song, it mentions how physical and emotional needs can’t be met due to boundaries in place, due to some unseen force or circumstance.

“You don’t know me, like I want you to / And you can’t touch me the way I need you to.”

Despite the unseen force or circumstance, the “Main Character” is in a constant state of push and pull based on her feelings towards the love interest and struggles with acceptance in parts of the song as she talks about the love interest taking pieces of her and putting them back inside the back of their mind.

“So take another piece of me, put it back inside your head / Anyway, Anyway / I guess it’s just another day, I wish there was another way. But it’s a fine line.”

Overall this song shows human longing in the most complicated of forms, the overwhelming feeling of push and pull when it comes to feelings for someone but there’s a force that can’t be changed to alter the outcome leaving us as humans to go through grief as we accept that things are unable to be changed and process that grief in the ways we know how to.
