There is some Egyptian mythology going on, the scarab represents life cycles and rebirth.(Sun and moon) Erika is lost in a dessert;unurtured,empty,in a transitional phase of life. Going in circles? repeating same mistakes? Her high hat might be a search for higher "self knowledge" and wisdom. Alchemical? Godlike? She drags the weight of her past that which is uninportant, and manipulated, burdens, lies,fears... she has fallen in lifes trap the matrix if you will. The sun is seting she is in a resting period she is regenerating herself to be born anew. She emerges from a womb of water she is now nurtured, replenished and cleansed. Naked and pure. Now the crops... aliens and origins? we are all one in the vast universe... cycles transformation. evolution the mysteries and occult.

It's so perfect that tears fill my eyes, even after all this time. I first heard this at age 14, as a newbie musician. Now I'm 36. And the words to her songs just hit deeper. It's just amazing. From the lyrics, the poetry, and the video's imagery to the subtle musical arrangements and chill & smoky jazz club vibes. Erykah is the vessel of self expression but also a vessel of universal expression, Black female expression, and so much more, I hope she knows this... she's influenced so many strong black women (and men!) but also some mixed/white boy musicians here, too!! Lol. And not only me... and yes, I do realize that "perfection", in any sense of the word, is an illusion; but Ms Erykah Badu, you exude something intangible that is, to your fans and followers, quite perfect in what it is. ✌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️

I never realized how old this song is.. its so timeless..

[@ranieshabaker9449]

This is so funny. When I was younger, my older cousins used to hate Erkyah Badu and always said she was weird and crazy. I laughed with them and thought the same thing because I didn't understand. Now I'm older, and I'm able to understand her and her music, she's become a favorite of mine. Such a beautiful person and beautiful music. Much respect to this woman!

[@tmoneyterrence]

Yea me too she used to creep me out when I was younger but I think I truly understand her music now. It's so beautiful.

[@Theboydevoye]

Niesha B Now what does this make you think about media cultures pushed onto young african american people. How supreme is her message? How come youth think she is weird? These are the questions we should be asking and the answers we come up with need to be abolished from our culture. The answers are obvious to be honest. Peace.

[@aaania30]

Niesha B Same here, I also found her weird when I was in my teens. But now that Im older I love her, its a grown folks music.

[@rossisme3081]

Niesha B How the F*ck could you ever "hate" Miss Badu? She's candy in the ears.

[@RaquanDaMaji]

Annunaki looking head garment is the most noticeable imagery...Here I feel she is representing HerSelf as a Higher Conscious BEING having a EARTHLY Experience. "Trying 2 decide where 2 Go"....Forks in the road, DUALITY, Ying-Yang, "time 2 save the World"....."I know my Heart will guide me there"...Basically follow your HEART in making decisions in Lyfe....Peace 2 the Revolution....
