The Fetal Diaries #8 : Lyrics overload, lyrics overload!

Okay, I spent like half the night last night with earphones plugged in my ears, and it’s one of those times when I ACTUALLY listened to the lyrics (and danced so much that I’m sure if anyone saw me, they’d give me the ‘weirdest dance’ award, but I don’t mind).

So, I thought I’d just post some that I actually liked, and remember, haha.

From ‘Where is the Love?’ by the Black Eyed Peas:
“But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin’ you’re bound to get irate.”

Actually, the lyrics to the whole song’s pretty good - especially the chorus:

“Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?”

It sends a good message, not just for ‘normal’ people, but it sends the message to the whole world, of different races and such. It’s sad BEP changed and started talking about nonconsensical (is there such a word?) crap like bling and ‘humps’. Oh God..

Anyways.. there’s other out there too, like Maroon 5 (yes, I do like a lot of pop music - but that’s not all), From their song Sunday Morning.

“But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would bring me back to you.”

Yes, it’s cheesy, but then, as TCKs, don’t we all get those days, when we actually wanna go see someone we miss terribly, and we feel like we’d do almost anything to see em again? I know I do.

Okay, so that’s about it (for now) that I remember. I might edit or make a part two of this blog. I am now too lazy haha.

Rant overrr!
