More about Motion Sickness!
"Motion Sickness" is an alt-country and "Americana-tinged" song that has been compared to the work of Elliott Smith in its lyrical honesty. It is the most upbeat song on the album, with a "hopping pulse and singalong chorus." The song was described by Mish Barber-Way of The Fader as "the epitome of confession-meets-comedy, a big 'fuck you' delivered with a wink and a kiss.”
The song was written about Bridgers' ex-boyfriend Ryan Adams, who produced her debut EP Killer and released it on his record label PAX AM. The song gained renewed attention in 2019 when Bridgers joined a chorus of women accusing Adams of abuse. Of the song's relevance to the situation, Flood Magazine writer Anya Jaremko-Greenworld said "when Bridgers sings sadly on the chorus, 'There are no words in the English language / I could scream to drown you out,' she’s wrong. Adams was drowned out last week by the voices of women in the music industry, harmonizing in fury and in liberation."

Lyrics
I hate you for what you did
And I miss you like a little kid
I faked it every time, but that's alright
I can hardly feel anything, I hardly feel anything at all
You gave me fifteen hundred to see your hypnotherapist
I only went one time, you let it slide
Fell on hard times a year ago
Was hoping you would let it go and you did
I have emotional motion sickness
Somebody roll the windows down
There are no words in the English language
I could scream to drown you out
I'm on the outside lookin' through
You're throwin' rocks around your room
And, while you're bleeding on your back in the glass
I'll be glad that I made it out
And sorry that it all went down like it did
I have emotional motion sickness
Somebody roll the windows down
There are no words in the English language
I could scream to drown you out
Hey, why do you sing with an English accent?
I guess it's too late to change it now
You know I'm never gonna let you have it
But I will try to drown you out
You said when you met me you were bored
You said when you met me you were bored
And you, you were in a band when I was born
I have emotional motion sickness
I try to stay clean and live without
And I want to know what would happen
If I surrender to the sound
Surrender to the sound
