Window Seat Lyrics

Cover art for Window Seat lyrics by Erykah Badu

this song is pretty much how I feel right now. People can be demanding and it's hard to feel listened to when you feel like everyone is talking over each other. sometimes you need a breath, a beat away from the constant chatter of the real world. sometimes it is good to get that space and to just be alone. at the end of her video, erykah fakes being shot and purple blood gushes out of her head, spelling the word "groupthink" in cursive, and she talks about how individuality takes a back seat to being invested in group dealings. the idea of this song is that in order to remain yourself, sometimes you just need to get a window seat and be alone and reflect. I think I could use a window seat right about now.
