I'm not quite sure of the meaning of this idiom, and got a bit confused by other similar sounding phrases like "go fish" and "gone fishing".
From the lyrics below, I think it means "to give up trying hard" but I need to know if it's correct:
"You can waste a whole lifetime trying to be
What you think is expected of you
But you'll never be free
May as well go fishing"

Thank you!
