Recommended: Effects of childhood abuse to adulthood

Depressed thoughts mixed with constant confusion for a high school boy is not an ideal combination. My genetics paired with a few awry experiences cause myself to be a victim to dark, cloudy thoughts. It doesn’t happen to many people, therefore nobody truly understands me, or how my witty brain truly works. With those negative words being said, I know that everything will be okay in the end and that everything has a purpose. For my song that defines me, I chose “Day ‘N Nite”, by Kid Cudi. Day 'N Nite is a rap, produced back in 2009. With my current state of sadness combined with being let down repetitively, I don’t look up too many people these days. However, I do look up to Kid Cudi. I say this with nothing but complete genuine honesty. …show more content…

I listen heavily to the words and rhythm of all my songs. My reasoning for doing so is because I like to see what the artist thinks. I like to see what he’s gone through. I firmly believe musical lyrics have taught me more about life than any worthless textbook ever could. “The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night. He’s all alone throughout the day and night.” This is my favorite song quote, and is a repeated verse in my selected song. These magical words speak to me. I cannot possibly fathom my complete thoughts over this quote onto paper. I am a stoner. I never smoke during the day due to a lack of production, and I don’t like my sobriety altered in the public. With that being stated, I smoke marijuana every night before I go to sleep. I’ve started that regimen over the last year, and I couldn’t be more content with it. Although marijuana has proven to help sleeping issues, that is not the main intent of me constantly doing it before bed. The words “lonely stoner frees his mind at night” are very influential to me. I feel as if I am a lonely, lost boy in a dark, twisted society, just trying to get by. My opinion of this world is unbelievably low, and with many letdowns among other unspoken reasoning, I feel as if I’m alone in this world. I feel as if I’ve got my own back, and that’s it. Coming with my nightly smoking session, it gives me something to look forward too. Marijuana for me at night is essential because I free my mind. All of my stress, and depressed thoughts seem to disappear temporarily. Life seems much better when you’re stoned at night, or at least in my specific case. I look forward to around 10:00 PM as soon as I get up in the mornings because I know when that time comes, that all of my problems will leave me and I can find peace within

    The reason they turn to drugs is because they cannot handle the mental and physical pain of returning from Vietnam and not being accepted by their own country. Today, I think people turn to drugs for the same reasons as back then. Maybe today the reasons aren't as good, but basically they are the same reasons. People get hooked on these drugs because they cannot deal with problems and then it ends up leading to more problems for themselves, their families, and people in their everyday lives. When the song was saying, "there's a hole in daddy's arm and that's where all the money goes", you see ( ) so many people wasting all their money on drugs and ruining their families. When I heard this song, I think of the sad things in life like when someone dies because this is what is happening to his father in the song. I also think about how horrible it must have been to come home from all this violence and not even have your own countries support. This is what I felt like when I listened to the song "Sam Stone."

  • Song Analysis Dave Matthews Band : Gravedigger

    The analysis of this song lead me to actually dislike the song because I found that my first impression of the song was much different than after analyzing it for weeks. I love the bands music but I just don't like this one particular song. I guess there are many ways to interpret this song but I feel as if the song is way to deep in thought for a singer such as Dave Matthews. As Dave stated at one of his concerts, "Some people drink, and some don't; some people like to smoke a bowl, and some don't. Some people do and some people don't but its ok `cause it was ment to be that way." Dave Matthews is no Wordsworth, but its ok because it was meant to be that way!

  • An Analysis Of Country Music, By Rascal Flatt

    1115 Words  | 3 Pages

    When I am down in my feelings, I listen to, "What hurts the most," by Rascal Flatts. In this song, Rascal Flatt`s message that he is trying to get through to people is that he has lost a loved one that meant the world to him, and he did not get the chance to tell that person what he really thought about them. I relate so much to this because I am a person who is not good about telling how I feel to people. I keep my emotions bundled up inside. This specific song has helped me to show more of my feelings to people and to open up more. Depending on the situation, I still have trouble showing my emotions. When I have trouble opening up, I listen to Flatt`s song to remind me that it is good, not bad, to open up to people. Another song I listen to that I relate to so much is, “Barefoot Blue Jean Night," by Jake Owen. The reason I relate to this song is because it describes a night of warm weather and good times. Jake Owen knew what he was doing when he wrote this

  • Existentialism In Saturday Night

    808 Words  | 2 Pages

    +The existential position toward Susan Orlean’s essay “Saturday Night” is one that rejects the dehumanizing state of “Saturdayness” and man being defined solely as the hedonistic Being-for-St. Elsewhere (Man as Future-State Man). Her guidelines for Saturday night directly contrast the existentialist ideals of freedom, the individual, and living in the present, and the philosopher Jean-Paul Satre surely would agree. *Even Orlean herself admits “chronological time is a sort of an anachronism these days”: the “Fun Imperative” has been replaced by the “Fear Imperative” (AIDS); and the living-for-the-future syndrome is a Satrian act of “bad faith” and must be acknowledged as such.

  • Therapy Through Song-Writing

    Musicians have claimed song writing is their therapy. By it’s very nature, the process of song writing can be both freeing and emotionally challenging on a writer. Song “text often provides an early experience of how to symbolically represent the world, and of how we can use metaphors to understand the meaning of what is happening to us” (Baker et al. 9). Lyrics articulate the values and beliefs of people, which weave their way into the lives of others. In the midst of song writing, an important phenomenon is taking place: the writer is communicating and sharing their thoughts in an intimate way, much like how psychological counseling is seen and used today.

  • Almoholism: The Negative Effects Of Alcohol

    1268 Words  | 3 Pages

    Often the way in which songs are written can be vague, dark and obscure. The lyrics often convey the message either in an abstract form or in a direct way in which the listener can understand the message outright. In the song “Whiskey Lullaby”, the negative impact of alcoholism is made apparent without requiring much thought. The lyrics go, “We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time “Here the message is made apparent that the answer for the depression is alcohol. However, the lyrics, “a little at a time” suggests that alcohol becomes a recurring option for the person in order to deal with their problem. The clue that it hints from that particular choice of words alone drives the song and gives it substance. In contrast to this view, the song “Rehab” introduces an opposing view in which alcohol is not an issue but does indicate a similar use as a form of coping as the lyrics in “whiskey Lullaby” do. The lyrics, “I don't ever wanna drink again, ohh I just need a friend” suggests that alcohol wouldn’t be a recurring means in order to deal with depression. Instead of the alcohol a friend and or a person that would give support is all that is necessary according to the lyrics. However, like the lyrics in the song, “Whiskey Lullaby” state that alcohol is still used as a means to

    Teenagers and Adults, Smoking/Cigarettes. Most people tend to think of those clubs with the drum and a few instruments on the stage, with the words being spoken by a guy wearing black and a beanie placed on his head. But it’s more than coffee and a crowd. It such a simple word, a simple way of amplifying a situation, a way to subtle give a message or blatantly point it out. Especially if it can change a person’s life, to better it, by quitting something harmful to their health like smoking. There is one man whom has gotten his point across, Nick Flynn has passed on a message that is clear and honest, in Some Ether, “I know cigarettes can kill & wonder why she wants to die.” (GoodReads Inc. 2).
