Show And Tell Reflection

My eighth grade year was extremely successful and overall very impressive, I feel that this can be represented by the song “Show and Tell” by Said the Sky. When listening to this song many feel feelings of happiness and are easily able to forget most things that they commonly think of. While these things may include good memories most tend to focus on bad experiences that they encounter frequently such as stress or worry about their daily life. “Show and Tell” is able to relieve people of these feelings and give them a feeling of happiness, excitement, or even calm.

The lyrics read “Don't you ask what my tattoos mean ‘cause they ain't for you and they ain't for me.”(Said the Sky. “Show and Tell.” California, May 29, 2017), the tattoos in this sentence represent something larger than others and oneself. It takes large amounts of self awareness in order to realize these things. Many are strangely unaware that in the grand scheme of things they are completely unimportant. This level of self awareness is gained from a realization that all eventually reach however some chose to acknowledge it while others do not.
