You like music right?
And I am sure you at least have a few favorite songs...
Have you ever wondered to yourself "what does she/he mean with those lyrics?" when you listened to music?
Ordinary people when they have stress with each other, they don't usually liken their problem into being cut, chopped, burned, thrown, broken boned and the other verbs that indicate physical pain!
We don't quite understand what those lyrics have to do with "love" and are also aware that we don't experience those things. Sadness yeah, but not the physical crap they have been (somehow eagerly) decorating the popular songs with.
However we do sing to the tunes.
You get the aesthetic (nice music) and chaos (weird lyrics).
"A Spoonful of Sugar, Helps the Medicine go down"
In fact, this weird "tradition" of streaming music with weird lyrics have been happening for decades in societies, not just in the United States either.
Even phrases seem to have been established out of these weird lyrics. "Don't put salt on my wounds", "He broke my heart", "Pain in the ass" "melted my heart" "ripped my heart".
By the way, I don't think love has anything to do with the organ heart either, or heart shapes, we have been drawing : )
Anyway, if you don't believe me, go search the song lyrics..here are some samples for you.
I remember last year I was wondering about the lyrics to this song and I was confused myself.
The only statement in this song relates to human experience is that "And now that I am without your kisses".
The song is communicating a literal meaning actually. We have been fooling ourselves.
"hurt" "sore" "knife" "breathing back to life" they don't happen when you break up with someone....
Stitches"
I thought that I'd been hurt before
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh, you lured me in, I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Now I'm gonna reap what I sow
I'm left seeing red on my own
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh, you lured me in, I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Now I'm gonna reap what I sow
I'm left seeing red on my own
--------------------------------
I also wondered about this song last year...what does she mean by "my body's had enough" is he an abusive boyfriend or something?
The whole thing is weird.
SAME OLD LOVE
I don't believe, I don't believe it
You left in peace, left me in pieces
Too hard to breathe
I'm on my knees right now
You left in peace, left me in pieces
Too hard to breathe
I'm on my knees right now
I'm so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up
I’m so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough
Oh-oh-oh (that same old love)
I’m so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart
I’m so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart
Oh-oh-oh (that same old love)
I’m so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough
Oh-oh-oh (that same old love)
I’m so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart
I’m so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart
Oh-oh-oh (that same old love)
This next song is total psychotic one! Openly.
Nice music, shitty lyrics
BAD THINGS
Am I out of my head?
Am I out of my mind?
If you only knew the bad things I like
Don't think that I can explain it
What can I say, it's complicated
Am I out of my mind?
If you only knew the bad things I like
Don't think that I can explain it
What can I say, it's complicated
Don't matter what you say
Don't matter what you do
I only wanna do bad things to you
So good (So good), that you can't explain it
What can I say, it's complicated
Don't matter what you do
I only wanna do bad things to you
So good (So good), that you can't explain it
What can I say, it's complicated
Breathe you in 'til my face numb
Drop it down to that bass drum
I got what you dream about
Nails scratchin' my back tatt
Eyes closed while you scream out
And you keep me in with those hips
While my teeth sink in those lips (Yeah)
While your body's giving me life
And you suffocate in my kiss
Then you said...
Drop it down to that bass drum
I got what you dream about
Nails scratchin' my back tatt
Eyes closed while you scream out
And you keep me in with those hips
While my teeth sink in those lips (Yeah)
While your body's giving me life
And you suffocate in my kiss
Then you said...
KILLING ME SOFTLY (classic song)
Strumming my pain with his fingers...
..
Killing me softly
...
WE FOUND LOVE
KISS IT BETTER
Hurting vibe, and it hurts inside when I look you in your eye
REHAB
That spun me around
And now my heart's dead
I feel so empty and hollow
LOVE THE WAY YOU LOVE
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that’s all right because I like the way it hurts
BABY ONE MORE TIME
.
Boy, you got me blinded
.
Hit me, baby, one more time
STONE COLD
You see me standing, but I'm dying on the floor
Can't understand, I'll take the pain
Give me the truth, me and my heart
I CAN'T HELP MYSELF (THE FOUR TOPS- from year 1965)
But every time I see your face
I get up all choked up inside
....
It starts the flame burning in my heart
Tearin' it all apart
WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO (THE SUPREMES- from year 1964)
I've got this burning, burning
...
And it hurts so bad
DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME - ELTON JOHN
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal
YESTERDAY ONCE MORE- THE CARPENTERS
When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
EASY - COMMODORES
I know it sounds funny but I just can't stand the pain
Since when we started to feel any burning sensation when we "break up" with someone?
We feel sad but how does it relate to burning?
