did i do good?
the song, “waving through window”, written by justin paul and benj pasek, is one of my absolute favorite songs from the musical “dear evan hansen”. the song is about a young teen, who seems to be a very isolated. the song is very explicit wording wise, but it’s still very easy too tell what’s going on. the song captivates the theme of this song is about a boy who looks to be struggling with loneliness, and seems too be trapped in a figurative window society built for him.
looking outside the window causes pain for him, due to seeing all the happy smiling faces with friends by their side, but he’s all alone. i thought this song most related to my life, considering a few things. i’m very socially awkward, i have a lot of trouble making friends since i home school, ect. this song is a really great reminder of what society can do to you if you’re not carful of who you choose to listen too.
