I have always been a very social person and prefer to be surrounded by friends and family. I value all of my friendships and appreciate all of the people who make my life better but, I also have trouble with toxic friendships. When I was in about fourth grade, one of my friends who I had known since kindergarten and I had a fight that really upset me, but we are friends still today and are planning on hanging out over the summer. My move was tough on both of us and we had some issues. So what? All friends fight and that’s normal, but how you deal with the fight is what makes the difference between a toxic and nontoxic friendship. In sixth grade, I had some friends who I would always fight with and it would always be my fault, no matter how …show more content…
I have to rebuild myself better and stronger. One of the many lines I truly can relate to is “Words cut through my skin/tears roll down my chin/my walls crumble within.” This is basically saying that words can be as harmful as a weapon and that I do feel hurt and upset by everything you tell me, but I allow myself to break on the inside. I believe this shows how strong the artist wants to make you feel, how you are not the only one who crumbles and breaks down inside. The next lines of the chorus continue to say “But I’ll take it all on and get up when I fall/till the last curtain call.” These lines remind me to not let it hurt me, and to me I think the artist was trying to tell you that what other people should not dictate your life. When W told me how I never think of anybody except for myself, it hurt me a lot, but I have to be strong about it and not let them know how much they hurt me and I have to stand tall. If I let them see how upset and hurt I am, that may just have been the reaction they were trying to provoke. W wanted me to feel as though everything she had done to me was somehow all my fault and that she was
In this song one can tell that the singer is very sad and depressed about many things that have happened in his life and the love ones that have passed away. When he sings this lyric “My sweetest friend…. I will let you down” you can tell that it is about how his loved ones have passed on and he let
The narrator is presented as this strong figure at first, but the piece tears away this wall brick by brick. In stanza six when they are coming back from Mexico, the narrator says the drugs “might help him live longer.” The biggest turn of hopelessness is in stanza 8 for the narrator. His brother falls into a coma and his brother’s lover cries in his arms and he “Wonder(s) how much longer you will be able to be strong.”(Lassell 481) It only progresses only further when the narrator says: “Offer God anything to bring your brother back. Know you have nothing God could possibly want.”(Lassell 481) The narrator becomes almost emotionless during the funeral of his brother, and it shows that this sense of hopelessness has grown even larger, to the fact where he stands in silence and stares at the casket. During the funeral, he thinks to himself “Know that your brother 's life was not what you imagined.”(Lassell
There are a couple of diverse conflicting emotions that convey change throughout the song. It mainly focuses on relief after accepting God. In the song, the author expresses, “ Every heartache and failure, every broken dream; You're the God who sees, the God who rescued
I can personally relate this song to my past relationship with a guy of 2 years. We had many rough patches while we were together. There were things in the relationship that I can never erase; yet I feel as though I will never fully let him go. He's still trying so hard to get me back and I'm taking advantage of it. I get many mixed emotions about him and the thought of starting up the relationship again. The hardest part is that he's the only person I truly feel I can completely be myself around. Yet, I fear that it will start right back where it ended. All he wants to be is my giving tree and make me happy.
These lyrics send a message of how at first he was being someone who he wasn’t but then eventually found out who he actually was. He grew up living in a society where a person couldn’t be their own individual self and everything was done collectively. He never knew about individualism because of the fact he’s been in a collective environment. After learning about the Unmentionable Times and the forbidden word “I”, he knew at that moment who he really was. “I tried to be someone else/ I know now this is who I really am inside,” are two lines that can be used that momen...
He discusses how his mom got him christmas presents and how he was shocked due to being from a very poor family due to not having the advantage of being white. He continues to say how his emotions are pouring out of him as in he is letting all of the stuff that he has gone through that was hard out and he is ready to let it all out for the best of his health. He mainly discusses the pain he has gone through and how it is hard growing up as a young black male. After this main song, he continues to open up on how he coped with this heartache that he has gone through.
The song opens up with the chorus, saying “Carry on my wayward son/ For there’ll be peace when you are done” (Kansas). This line foreshadows some sort of issue that the protagonist is having trouble either getting through or finishing. “Lay your weary head to rest/ Don’t you cry no more” (Kansas) almost seems to foreshadow sleep or even eternal sleep in death. The a capella format of the beginning also adds a haunting element before the song proceeds to present both the main theme from the song and also the triplet ‘breakdown’ for lack of better words.
At the beginning of the year the people I was hanging out with are amazing people, but they didn't make me feel welcome at the table. So in the first month of school, I had already switched tables. The friends that I migrated to are good people, who make terrible decisions. They made me feel pressured to hate certain people and act a certain way. I didn't realized how much this had affected my life until recently. Those friends made me feel like I had to have something wrong with me to be different, or fit in with them. When I finally realized what they were doing to me, I left. I moved to another table, these people are the best people ever. They reminded me that I don't have to have something wrong with me to be their friend. This point in my life was just a few weeks ago, and I already feel better than I have in a long time.
The speaker talks about what happens after being emotionally hurt by stating “getting a transfusion from the fire, picking the scabs off our heart, then wringing it out like a sock” (lines 29-31). Words such as ‘transfusion’ and ‘scab’ creates an image of healing and the word ‘wringing’ creates an image of getting rid of unwanted substances. The speaker is explaining that to heal from despair, people need to get their spark back, stop hiding their feelings, and get rid of unwanted feelings. The speaker uses other examples of imagery when she states “Next, my kinsman, you powdered your sorrow, you gave it a back rub, and then you covered it with a blanket” (lines 32-34). The statement gives an image how a baby is comforted when upset. The speaker is explaining that after experiencing despair, it is okay to want to rest and be comforted like a child. The stanza is an example of courage because even after despair, people still have to keep on living.
Then the song turns into the conflict of the situation, “From throwing clothes across the floor, To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you.” Lastly throughout the song the lyrics repeat in a different way that it would be better to simply move on because staying will not fix the problem, “When we’re becoming something else, I think it’s time to walk
This song talks a lot about the baggage of the past that people hold onto instead of letting it go. All that baggage is only going to end up hurting you more and more instead of helping you in any way possible. An example is the opening
“The world is beating you down, I’m around through every mood / You’re my downfall, you’re my muse / My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues / I can’t stop singing, it’s ringing, in my head for you.” She brings him down but also inspires him at the same time. He can’t stop thinking about her.
This song is an excellent example of the empowerment women and men may need occasionally. When someone is faced with a painful situation, people basically show two kinds of reaction: giving up or struggling. Those who decide to give up will usually keep complaining and blaming others for the situation they face. In contrast, those who decide to struggle, even though initially show almost the same reactions as the first group of people, they will finally choose to look at the good side of the situation they face. The process of being down, looking for the positives, and avoiding negative thoughts or feelings may be difficult but could ultimately result in the greatest gift of all, happiness.
In this verse the singer talks about DC’s wall with the veterans names who have died and how its suppose to symbolize those who have died for our freedom but it shows how instead freedom is non-existent. Also shows how war costs the lives of others and yet it keeps on happening. The lyrics and slow paced sounds here creates a mournful and depressing image of those who have died because of
Holy Matrimony is the sacrament that bonds a man and a women together as the matter with their vows as the form. To be married, the couple must meet certain criteria for the marriage to be valid. They must be open to children and must remain loyal to each other through the promise of fidelity. Additionally, they both must consent to the wedding, meaning no one is forced into it.
