Maggie Rogers: Alaska Meaning
Song Released: 2016
Alaska Lyrics
-
Transformation...letting go. Seeing something for the first time clearly. Icy streams bringing the forced clarity of awakening...For me it resonated as I had finally left an emotionally abusive relationship. As I looked back I realized how I forgotten/left pieces of me behind on this trail and as I walk forward reclaiming and transforming into something stronger.

Feels like she's talking to her demons, like she was actually tripping balls on a nature walk...(I wasssmmo..alking)..and she literally met and awakened her higher self...(meet oh my eye)
And that she walked off the influence of her evil, like shedding the skin of the younger, unaware self she used to be.
This is how I feel anytime I trip or go thru a life changing experience. These occurances always feel like dreams to me, many times they actually were dreams at night.
The chorus when I hear, sounds more like (you and I are the same inbetween). Artists, comedians, fuck it your boss even; flex words all the time to express double entendres. There are those who would oppose my interpretation, or call me crazy..? Cool, so what does the artwork have to do with anything... There's literally 3 selfies of her stuck together. The one in the middle looks possessed, it's bun looks edited into horns.....and eyes on top of all three...lining up perfectly with the the selfie most to the right...
After Pharell hears the song in that video, when giving feedback he said "so I'm guessing you already have an idea about the artwork"
Native American say we are all in tune with nature. Like TVs and radios, we pick up signals in the air and process them..natives say human hair are antennas..
She cut her hair in order to no longer be sensitive, no longer absorbing signals around her; to instead influence, send signals out, and say whatever she wanted to
She is breathing the universe, being the universe
Only sensitive, hallucinating hippies say things like that
And I'm one of em -
Sounds as if she's finally left an oppressive or abusive relationship and found her true self once again.
