t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l (feat. Travis Barker)

WILLOW's 't r a n s p a r e n t s o u l' featuring Travis Barker is a raw and candid expression of disillusionment with insincerity and the superficial nature of some relationships. The lyrics convey a sense of betrayal and frustration with people who pretend to be friends but are actually self-serving and deceitful. The repeated line 'I can see right through' suggests that the speaker has gained the ability to discern true intentions, seeing past the facade that others put up.

The song's title and chorus emphasize the concept of transparency, or the lack thereof, in people's souls. WILLOW uses the metaphor of a 'transparent soul' to describe individuals whose true nature is no longer hidden from her. This transparency is not about purity or openness but rather the speaker's newfound clarity in recognizing the phoniness in others. The mention of 'fake friends' and the experiences of being used or backstabbed are relatable themes that resonate with listeners who have felt deceived by those they trusted.

The collaboration with Travis Barker, known for his work with the punk rock band Blink-182, adds a gritty, energetic dimension to the song, reinforcing the themes of confrontation and self-assertion. WILOW's musical style, which often blends elements of alternative rock with other genres, provides the perfect backdrop for the song's message of cutting through the noise and seeing people for who they truly are. 't r a n s p a r e n t s o u l' is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever had to peel away the layers of pretense to uncover the truth beneath.
