Dream:
I was trying to climb this roof and no matter what, couldn't do it. Was terrified of letting go and jumping back to the ground.
Eventually ran out of energy and fell. Turned out it was a negligible fall.
Ended up just walking around to get where I wanted to go instead.
Seems allegorical.
Edit: I think I figured it out. This is about performing again. I don't need to write new material which I've been struggling with.
Covers will do just to get out there again.
Reminds me of a line:
"... I've been trying to dig my way out of the ocean, and punch a hole in the sky.."
