    ► 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

      how hard is it for her to be in a space to be a 'real artist' when she has multi-millionaire parents with connections? while everyone else has to slave away at a job or are forced to attend college in hopes of upward mobility, she gets to 'explore' herself musically without a care in the world. she speaks of 'existential concepts' without having never known what is was like to go hungry, worry about finances, or wonder how she's going to come up with $$ for studio time.

When I saw it was Willow Smith, I had to do a double take - but that's my fault I guess for being ignorant of her music - I had no idea she was so gifted. Looking forward to seeing what else she has made if this is anything to go by.

      I agree with you 💯 % . Willow needs to grow and mature in vocal cords. You can't give her higher potential b/c of her parents. If she was an ordinary singer like so many others on VOICE and other non celebrity talent shows. So many singers sing nicely, but Willow voice needs stronger process in vocal cord range. She sounds like she is singing from the back of her throat. Her voice isn't fully developed. Yes, I watched VOICE, WHO HAS TALENT etc...
      You actually have people who can sang, sing, plus song 🎵 🎶 another artist with perfectly arranging vocal cords hitting those notes that Willow can't do. You actually have singers who can sing w/o music background. Sorry Willow, but Nah.

    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 (desperately) 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 what 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, oh
    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?

    Willow has tremendous talent and depth of humanity. She could have taken the easy way out, riding on her rich and famous parent's coattails, but instead she insists on being relevant in her own right and bringing something unique and needed to the table. That's hard for anyone to do, but especially when you have so many ass-kissers and yes-people and energy vampires circling all the time... to still be able to make a little space and find and express your own magic is quite the feat. I'm so grateful I get to witness her creative journey.

She has the soul of a philosopher, a spiritual seeker, someone who’s truly devoted to find meaning in this deep ocean we call life. And to put that in her music is a big act of courage and truthfulness in a world that is becoming more and more artificial and vain. As a Brazilian, I hope to watch your concert somewhere here in the near future. I love you.❤ thank you for your art ❤

    Willow is honestly one of the most interesting pop/pop rock/alt pop artists right now. Loving this so much!

      Yess, I love the fact that she is kind of going into the Jazzy directions with the new music, but still keeping the pop rock influences.
