| Amos Lee – Soul Suckers Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
this song is so powerful and meaningful to me. it perfectly describes a situation going on in my life, concerning one of my best friends changing her appearance and personality in order to gain popularity, acceptance, etc. and in turn, slowly losing me as her friend. i believe this song could portray those who have lost themselves when trying to be someone their not. and then realizing, after some maturing, that their so called friends (the soul suckers) disappear forever. and when anyone tries to warn them of this happening, they don't want to listen to any voice of reason. (Nobody wants honesty when looking at a perfect frame. Play the game.) and it really is a game. a contest. to see who can date the most people, have the most friends on facebook, say hi to the most people on the street, etc. furthermore, the 'soul suckers' play the game to appease one another, telling their 'friends' what they want to hear. and it certainly does make them feel good, but in a negative way. it just feeds their ego. "and nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world..." i think that is an amazing line. so much truth in that...people use beauty as a way to gain artificial attention, an attempt to send out this idea that they are better than everyone. but really, the most attractive people in the world are those who have a beautiful soul. a soul that is their own, true self. not some superficial illusion, a mask made of fear. |
