so i was listening to one of my favorite artists' songs, and i noticed that i had never really listened to the lyrics. so, naturally, i did, started paying attention to it and i found some pretty good reasons to why she is one of my favorite artists. go on, look for yourself.. GO ON... please? :)
I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don`t care about clever I don`t care about funny
I want loads of clothes and f***loads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them
I`ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
`Cuz everyone knows that`s how you get famous
I`ll look at the sun and I`ll look in the mirror
I`m on the right track yeah I`m on to a winner
I don`t know what`s right and what`s real anymore
I don`t know how I`m meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
`Cuz I`m being taken over by The Fear
Life`s about film stars and less about mothers
It`s all about fast cars and passing each other
But it doesn`t matter cause I`m packing plastic
and that`s what makes my life so f***ing fantastic
And I am a weapon of massive consumption
and its not my fault it`s how I`m program to function
I`ll look at the sun and I`ll look in the mirror
I`m on the right track yeah I`m on to a winner
I don`t know what`s right and what`s real anymore
I don`t know how I`m meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
`Cuz I`m being taken over by The Fear
Forget about guns and forget ammunition
Cause I`m killing them all on my own little mission
Now I`m not a saint but I`m not a sinner
Now everything is cool as long as I`m getting thinner
I don`t know what`s right and what`s real anymore
I don`t know how I`m meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
`Cause I`m being taken over by fear
I don`t know what`s right and what`s real anymore
I don`t know how I`m meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
`Cuz I`m being taken over by The Fear
Life`s about film stars and less about mothers
It`s all about fast cars and passing each other
But it doesn`t matter cause I`m packing plastic
and that`s what makes my life so f***ing fantastic
And I am a weapon of massive consumption
and its not my fault it`s how I`m program to function
I`ll look at the sun and I`ll look in the mirror
I`m on the right track yeah I`m on to a winner
I don`t know what`s right and what`s real anymore
I don`t know how I`m meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
`Cuz I`m being taken over by The Fear
Forget about guns and forget ammunition
Cause I`m killing them all on my own little mission
Now I`m not a saint but I`m not a sinner
Now everything is cool as long as I`m getting thinner
I don`t know what`s right and what`s real anymore
I don`t know how I`m meant to feel anymore

so, obviously you know that was Lily Allen's "The Fear". if you didn't... well idk what i can do for you to be perfectly honest :/ ... well, you're on the internet now, rite? 'Tube that shxt(:
well, anywhoo.. anybody who listens to Lily on a regular basis know that she's quite good at coming up with comical songs. so since i heard it the first time it came out 'til tonight, i just discarded this as one of the comicals, you know? just like, ahaha, she's makin fun of the "beautiful people", with their money and such [simply because i'm THAT easy to amuse -__-]. but then, for whatever reason, i started noticing some things in the lyrics that hadn't been there before. well, yeah they were there, i just hadn't noticed them, like thattt. so naturally i thought, HEYY! me thinks this be's a blogspot moment ;) lol, moving swiftly on... i could stay here and make this entry paaaaaaages, but i think that whoever reads this has a life, so yeah short and sweet FTW!
if you really look at these, or maybe even at a glance if you're a little bit brighter than me, you can see the actual references to not just the "beautiful" people(the bright spark who thought to call them that, clearly hadn't seen LiLo at the end of the night in a tabloid :/) but in regular people too. the constant pursuit of things that are meant to make us happier/funnier/sexier/more fun to be around/better. i mean don't get me wrong, i do get a li'l bit tearful when i see a pair of particularly beautiful kicks... and i do perform a li'l happy dance every time i get paid but i'm tryna be all deep and whatnot, so i don't mean that type of thing, lol. i mean like the people who let it control them.. the people who who get vex if they don't get at lease 3 outfits from the mall every single time they go. the ones who dip into a deeeeep dark depression if they get the new Jordans a day late. talking bout, "my life has no worth ... shxt i should just kill myself ... i'm practically living in poverty ... why does everything happen to meeee!!" -_- *insert PAINful smack upside the head HERE.* just makes me wanna shake the hell out of them then ship them to any ghetto in africa or brazil so they can see what it's really like to live in poverty..
long rant short...
i don't want anybody to get me wrong, (though if you do, again as mentioned in the first entry, idgaf.) i don't wanna be judging people cause i knooow i'm not as selfless as i could be, no doubt. what i am saying however is that although it's all bless getting nice things and having money and you can get as happy as you want about that, Lord knows i do, just pleasee, don't let it rule your happiness.. cause the moment that you stop being happy with what you can get and sustain yourself (sustenance; food, shelter, heating etc...) with and accepting the rest as a generous gif from the Big Man upstairs? then you are well and truly screwed(:
well i just wanted to get that off my chest, so yeah.. leave comments.. follow it ... do what you must do to get your satisfaction ;) LOL(see? easily amused)
dueces(:
