• In 2016, a Broadway stage musical made waves
for tackling sensitive issues regarding today’s
generation, including social anxiety, depression
and suicide.
• This is entitled “Dear Evan Hansen” and tells the
story of Evan, a teenager suffering social anxiety.

Evan sings “Waving Through a Window” as a
way to convey his feeling of being stuck.
Feelings of his lack of importance constantly
envelop him; he has no significant impact or
reason to exist. The lyrics can be and are
interpreted in many ways, but the seemingly
most accurate reason for this song is as a cry
for help.
