The song "Consistency" by Ari Hest explores the struggles of finding stability and balance in life. The lyrics express the frustration of constantly experiencing stop and go situations, and the desire to find a constant flow or consistency. The narrator reflects on the larger scale of inconsistency in their life, which often leads to them having to give up on certain endeavors. They feel the need to be cautious and consider every step they take, which disrupts their rhythm and makes them feel inadequate. Despite trying to stay on the right path and leave behind regrets and doubts, the narrator admits to being easily distracted and unable to keep cool during their actions. They occasionally find satisfaction, but still feel like they have too much care and love that they can't fully express or attain. The narrator constantly feels like they are missing out on something and need to keep moving and breaking free. They relate themselves to a modern-day busybacksoon, always on the go and never settling, which they attribute to being born in June (the "month of moody, happy feet"). The song's chorus emphasizes the narrator's longing for consistency and a belief in themselves. They question whether they simply need to believe in order to find what they're looking for, and acknowledge that their head and heart often have different ideas. The search for consistency becomes an inner journey, with the realization that it must begin within themselves. Ultimately, the song explores the universal struggle of finding balance and stability in life amidst the constant ups and downs, distractions, and self-doubt. The narrator desires to break free from this cycle and find the key to their own fulfillment and contentment.
