Watching
BabyJake Lyrics

In BabyJake's song "Watching," he presents two different scenarios of people experiencing haunting encounters in the night. The first verse depicts a wandering dead man who disguises himself as a walking sunset late at night. The persona warns that if one were to dare look into his eyes, they would see the danger and pay the price. The next verse portrays a young girl with curly hair running up a flight of stairs, desperately screaming for help but no one seems to care. However, she sees a shadow walking as if someone is watching her, but there is no one there. The chorus of the song emphasizes how the person in the situation is scared and does not know what to feel. The repetitive use of "Watching" and "Waiting" in the chorus creates an eerie vibe, adding to the haunting atmosphere of the song.

The lyrics of the song suggest that these hauntings could potentially be a result of the person's intoxicated state. This is apparent in the line "Too drunk for no reason, why you out this late at night? Friends left you there freezing and now he's right by your side." This infers that people might be hallucinating or imagining things that aren't really there. It may also imply that people's sober friends leave them behind in a vulnerable state, causing them to experience terrifying situations without anyone to help. Nonetheless, the hauntingly eerie atmosphere of the song captures how the feeling of being watched or followed can be overwhelming and fearsome.

In terms of musical composition, the song has a dark and moody tone with light electronic beats and an emphasis on the bass. BabyJake's haunting voice complements the lyrics and amplifies the intensity of the song as a whole. The lyrics and music in combination with the haunting imagery create a gripping and suspenseful atmosphere that sends chills down the listener's spine.
