You Won’t Want To ‘Hide In The Bathroom At Parties’ If Winnetka Bowling League and The Knocks Are On The Playlist!

Winnetka Bowling League and The Knocks team up to battle social anxiety in ‘I Like To Hide In The Bathroom At Parties.’ In this groovy lo-fi banger, Winnetka Bowling League’s lead singer, Matthew Koma, sings about his social anxiety.

In the opening chorus, Matthew sings,

 
“I like to hide in the bathroom at parties.
Drunk people make me nervous, I’m sorry.
I just wanna be out,
But I don’t wanna be out.
So, I like to hide in the bathroom at parties.”

These lyrics are so relatable! Even though he wants to be out and about, Matthew still hides in the bathroom at parties because the people make him nervous.

In the first verse, Matthew sings,

“Being social makes me shy
Makes my heart have palpitations
But I still want the invite
So that I
Can decline”

Even though he gets anxious in social situations, he still wants to be invited, even though he’ll decline anyway. We feel the same! Being excluded from a party invite is never fun.

In the second verse of the song, Matthew sings,

“Sometimes I force myself
To leave my house and leave my shell
Then I’m standing in a stranger's living room, my living hell”

This lyric spoke to our souls!! Like Matthew, whenever we force ourselves to go to a party, we end up in the awkward and anxious situation of being in a stranger’s house with no one that we know.

The last verse is where the music builds up, and it gets more intense! Matthew sings,

“I like to stand by the door with my car keys (I can make a great escape)
Everyone’s having a good time except me (why was I born this way)
I just wanna go home (right now)
But I don’t wanna go home (not now)
So, like to hide in the bathroom at parties “

In this verse of the song, Matthew once again struggles to decide whether he wants to stay or leave the party. So he retreats to the bathroom to avoid making that decision.

‘I Like To Hide In The Bathroom At Parties’ closes out with this lyric,

“I don’t even know what I came for
I’m not really angry I’m just bored.”

Matthew could either be bored of being at the party or bored because he can’t make the party fun cause he’s antisocial or both!

So put this song on your party playlist, if you dare! We’ll be listening to this on repeat all summer long! Winnetka Bowling League and The Knocks is a collab we didn’t know we needed until now!
