    I feel like SZA is the manifestation of all of the souls of lonely girls who survived trauma and came out stronger in the other side.

    I used to be a huge stoner last year and I listened to song everyday when I would smoke. I didn't realize until now how haunting this song is. Reminds me of how much i didn't like myself and how alone I felt. I still adore SZA, so glad she made this song. I can reflect on how far i've come as a person since last year. Thank you Solana.

      @Cherie Hi friend! Well, tbh what help me stop smoking was how sick I got with myself. Instead of internalizing it and accepting as who I was. I decided that my progress was more important than getting high. I would smoke to ease my anxiety but that always meant smoking too much and getting paranoid. I operate better with a clear mind, and since im a workaholic, I knew that would be a huge driving force for me. Basically... imagine one of the biggest driving forces in your life and slowly quit it for them or it. I hope this finds you in a happy mental state. I know its hard with the corona virus, but we're going to be okay.

    This is a great video. SZA herself said that this song was about rejection from her parents. So she lays objects from her life on the cardigan on the ground, calmly, systematically. (Notice how the iPhone has been smashed, from rage maybe?) The ring shows her letting go from her relationships or even giving up on the idea of love entirely. For almost the whole video she is faceless - this is how repeated bullying especially from parents makes you feel - it shrinks you and makes you anonymous. While she walks to her suicide in the lake, she looks back (the first time we see her face) is it a look of second thoughts? The suicide note at the end of the video reads "gone fishin'

    I find it interesting because if you think about it, when people commit suicide by water they usually jump off a bridge to be killed by the impact or rocks. Or they slit their wrists and lay it in water (a tub filled).
    In her case, she willingly drowned herself and didn't use any other means to make her back out at the last moment. She died by suffocation of self drowning and lack of air. She held her self down underwater without any physical restraint but with only her will power or lack of there of. Many others would have re-emerged because they couldn't help but to fight against suffocation.
    She purified herself and peacefully crucified herself. She passed in a clean and pure way. She was meteorically crucified. Legs and arms spread except there was no need for nails restraints.
    That's part of what I get out of it.

      Cherbs turner Your point is sort of ironic. If you pass out in the sea, you'd drown due to not being aware enough to stay afloat. And I understand when you say its just a song.... but many songs are known for messages, and the most iconic can cause controversy and influence history. And even if it's "just a song" or "just" a video, if people want to have a meaningful conversation of what they believe it depicts, then let them. After all.... its "just a song" isn't it?

    When we see different expressions of ourselves, we modify our understanding of ourselves and create new concepts within our minds. To me, her music is as important as Outkast, Sade, Janelle Monae, Watch the duck, FKA twigs, In that it offers new/refreshing expressions of human nature/music. It's honest, raw, & real. I think it makes a great stride in breaking down barriers/stereotypes about (black) people & helps people rediscover themselves. And this song is dope as hell.

      @@soulremedies it's normal artists evolve change so does their art with them, she was in a diff state/phase when she did "Z" and a different one with "Ctrl" as the tone and mood of the album is different from "Z" and with her next album it would probably be different. As fans we should learn to grow with the artist. Change isn't in the music industry isn't always negative or trying to "appeal to mainstream", it is just exactly what it is change. We all want acknowledgement for all those who we feel are deserving of and she finally has it.

    Babylon is a depressing song once you read the lyrics. I saw a video where she explained that it's about a time when her parents paid for her to go to college, but she didn't want to; she dropped out and her patents were disappointed in her and this song is basically her response. To be honest, I think she's going through a tough time with depression because her videos, lyrics, and the way she answers interview questions (vaguely, stops midway, etc.) showcases how lonely she is. I hope I'm wrong and SZA is sincerely happy. Even the richest and most successful people can go into severe depression.

    Why are people so fucking obsessed with collabs ? She sounds amazing on her own, and she has a own universe. So does FKA twigs, so does Abra, so do every artists. Why anyone would want to dilute such beatiful artistic expression is beyond me.

      Collabs can be great but this song didnt need a feature

      @@TINKERB121 Agreed, Kendrick took up too much space on this record when it was perfectly fine on its own.

    It's a shame that this video doesn't have over a million views her voice is just absolutely amazing but if she keeps going like this I'm pretty sure she'll have more of a bigger fan base by the end of this year or next year but shit who knows only time will tell
