Stretched to Breaking

Write a song about the anxieties of releasing art ("is this even good or am I just making weird noises?"), imposter syndrome ("wait is this even a thing?"), and the tension between creative vulnerability and the fear of judgment ("The stuff that makes me go 'should I really put this out there?' is usually the most interesting"). The song could use the metaphor of stretching cheese to represent pushing creative boundaries ("that cheese pull was INSANE" ... "finding that perfect stretch point where it's connected but pushed to its limits"). It could also explore the idea of the "inner critic" as both a necessary compass and a source of crippling self-doubt ("The inner critic is useful but man it can be LOUD sometimes"). Finally, the song should touch on the idea of finding the right platform for your art, acknowledging the fickle nature of algorithms and the tension between artistic integrity and commercial success ("Like Spotify is great for the steady income but terrible for actually connecting with new listeners. And TikTok can blow something up overnight but then what?").
