| Mariah Carey – Side Effects Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I agree that this song could be about Tommy Mottola. However, to the people who think she should just 'get over' her abusive relationship, it's not that easy. You can write a million songs, several books and go to countless hours of therapy, and never be over an abusive relationship. People who've lived with someone abusive, take that experience and apply it to everyday life. Their self esteem has been so damaged, that they might never recover. You always have a guard up, and you try to deal with it as best you can. If Mariah writes another 1000 songs dedicated to her trying to deal with that she went through, I'd still listen to every one. As someone who was in an abusive relationship for 2 years, I can understand how she feels. To hear people say I, or anyone else should 'be over it by now' is sickening. Mariah says "I finally built up the strength to walk away Don't regret it but I still live with the side effects". Yes, she has moved on, but obviously she still lives with the crap he put her through mentally. |

I feel this song is about loving someone you've spent a long time getting over, but remembering why you broke up/they broke your heart before you try to get back with them. This song has a personal meaning for me. My first boyfriend was bad for me, and I broke up with him after being hurt. Sadly I kept thinking about all the good times, and at one point I forgot about the reasons why we broke up, and was tempted to take him back. I keep blogs from that time, and read them when I think about him, to remember why I'm now better off. |

This song has a personal meaning for me. I'm biracial. Growing up I was always told I was lucky to have two cultures (Black American/White British), so I had more people to relate too. However, in reality I felt more alone. I don't have people who share the same common background. I'm not white, but I'm also not black. I'm always 'other' in ethnic background field. When I listen to this song I feel like there's someone else who understands what I've been through. |
