A good song and an appropriately stripped own arrangement.
I have no idea about the meaning of the title.
With the simple, uncluttered set up your vocal is the ficus and that brings attention to the sibilant sounds. It may be that the reverb is accentuating it but it's there anyway. Reducing it a little will really allow the song to shine.
