► LYRICS:
pushing and peeling myself out of my disguise
looking at you now i am wondering who am i
if i could try to take you back i couldn't define
feeling
absence of time
knowing
all is decided
there's nothing
here left to find
the story's all in my mind
pushing and peeling the layers
that cover my mind
looking into the shadow
now i notice the light
magic is real
when you see it inside
you decide
it's like a snake shedding skin
creating
life to begin and all you know has vanished again
transcending
virtue and sin
feast my eyes on lower things
while beauty is a symptom of life
gotta decide if i'm gonna see it
why
feast our eyes on lower things
when suffering is craving the light
gotta decide how we’re gonna heal it
why
feast my eyes on lower things
while beauty is a symptom of life
gotta decide if i'm gonna see it
why
feast our eyes on lower things
when suffering is craving the light
gotta decide how we’re gonna heal it
why
yeah
gotta decide how we’re gonna feel it
i am trying to find out
gotta know
that life is fragile
gotta know
but
gotta go
i stood in awe
inside a temple
of a god i didn't know
wanna go
find the one
who understands
why we wait for pain to change us
to let me know
that life is fragile
it's like a turtle in sand
making
way to the ocean
almost
meeting the end
because the
birds are in motion
feast my eyes on lower things
while beauty is a symptom of life
gotta decide if i'm gonna see it
why
feast our eyes on lower things
when suffering is craving the light
gotta decide how we’re gonna heal it
why
feast my eyes on lower things
while beauty is a symptom of life
gotta decide if i'm gonna see it
why
feast our eyes on lower things when suffering is craving the light
gotta decide how we’re gonna heal it
why
yeah
gotta decide how we’re gonna feel it
i am trying to find out

she's got the type of talent that will allow people to forget her family tree and just indulge in her art. rare considering she is who she is.
-
WILLOW is so creative with her musical direction, but we're not giving enough credit to her producers for the amazing instrumentals
-
Did not think id arrive at a point in life where i wanna hear a 3way collab between willow, paramore and jill scott
-
She just did a Tiny Desk Concert. AWESOME
-
Hearing 7/4 in a pop song is class 🤌
-
THANK YOU for reminding the world that catchy songs can have musical complexity, and reminding music geeks that complex music can still be catchy.
-
this song is an absolute masterpiece. I am beyond shook
-
I’m 60 years old and it’s rare for me to embrace any music that’s put out there these days, but I found myself listening to “Wait a Minute” and became interested in who Willow was as an artist. Of course, I knew who she was, but I never bothered to listen to her music because I only listen to old stuff…from the 60s and 70s, but this young woman is so mega talented that I can’t get enough of her music!!! This new album, “empathogen”, is just absolutely perfect!!! If this album doesn’t win a Grammy for Album of The Year, then something is definitely wrong here!!! Best of luck to this extraordinary young artist and I am a solidified fan!!!
-
I love that she's in a space where she can be a real ARTIST.
-
im glad that she found the genre that truly fits her.
-
Willow Smith is flying under the the radar as a amazing talent
-
The only talented nepo baby out here PERIOD.
-
this is one of the most unique songs I've heard in the past decade. really.
-
The alt/pop rock, r&b and jazz influences on this track are so crazy it’s like sounds from all her best songs from her best era’s MASTERPIECE
-
I almost cried hearing this for the first time, it’s been a really long time since I’ve heard something unique and different, it’s been a while, lately I’m just rediscovering old music because i feel like nothing new is as good, but this, this restored my passion towards music again, u talking about feasting your eyes, while I’m feasting my ears and mind with this, u probably ain’t reading this, but, thanks Willow
-
I love the shape of her eyes.
-
she has that beautiful energy around her and you can feel it in her music, the production, the vocals
-
This song sounds like it would be the outro of an anime. I love it.
-
Why aren't we talking about this song every single second we have a chance to talk about it? I can't remember when I've heard something so freaking fresh and clever
-
Middle aged woman here, just discovered Willow. She is so fresh anb unexpected. Love this song so much!
