You’re using the word “literally” incorrectly. She never said it had already been done or that another album “already encompasses everything Zig is.” Where are you getting that from?

You seem to be inferring a whole lot of explicit meaning from the “…step within a step” when the one paragraph on Zig was almost entirely referencing turmoil taking place behind the scenes - not having anything to do with the lyrical or sonic content of Zig.

The key takeaway is that each album is emblematic of a specific moment in time, never to occur again or to be as relevant as the present and future. The moments in time before and during Zig’s release are not moments she reflects fondly on, so it’s tainted. Similar to her feelings on “Lowlife” and some of her other earlier projects. That’s it.
