| The Chicks – Top Of The World Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
If you watch the video, it is simply about an emotionally abusive relationship between a mother and her son, and then the son grow up and turn up being just like her mother and start ignoring her daughter but once she grew up, she breaks the chain by becoming a loving mother towards her own child. I think the whole song is from the boy/father's point of view but what's really sad is the remorseful tone in the last verse of the song: "Want to grab a hold of that little songbird/Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now." It's like the old man had finally realize his mistake and wanna make up to his daughter by taking her "to the top of the world RIGHT NOW" (he knows his time is gonna come soon). I've never been trough an abusive relationship, make it a physical or emotional ones, but being a closeted homosexual living in a community where homosexuality is one of the worst thing that could've ever happen to you (it is still considered a heinous (as if in the society perception of it) crime here), when I first heard this song, I feel like I can connect to it. I feel like the little songbird whose "singing will never be heard" and will never "fly to the top of the world." I start losing my faith to God, I start losing my faith towards the people and most importantly, I start losing faith in myself. I become angry and full of hatred- to God, for making me the way I am, to my own people, for hating for no reason, to myself, for letting myself falls into the society's perception. I've always live in fear, ever since I know of the term "homosexual". I've always let myself be caged, never wanting to go out for the fear of losing the people I love, friends and fear of being hated and isolated for being different. I'm the songbird in the cage, who, even I don't know, if he will ever find the courage to unlock himself and get out from the cage and fly to the "top of the world". Thanks Dixie Chicks for singing this amazing song. :) |

What an amazing woman, what an amazing song, what an amazing message. There's not one time that I listen to this song that I don't feel like singing along at the top of my lung. Maybe that's why we adults tend to fuck things up, because we never embrace our inner child spirit and letting it go. This song conveys a simple yet complicated message, and in doing so, looking at the world in the view of an innocent child - those simple things that can make you happy: to go explore and open your minds to possibilities, to be free and not be afraid to be opinionated, to not give a shit, to not be selfish and to learn to let go. Oh and some drug references in the.. Wait, is this song about drugs? |

I love this part of the song: I'm not a child anymore I'm tall enough To reach for the stars I'm old enough To love you from afar Too trusting? Yes But then women usually are It's like she's saying she's not a little girl anymore, she can have her own life, her own ambition, and she is matured enough to know that not all love stories are made of beautiful tales, but when it comes too love, she's still hopeful, too trusting, just like a child. It's like she explain the complexness of a woman. But I guess it also tell about a complicated relationship. I don't think Stevie is singing about Mick. I believe Stevie never fell out of love from Lindsey. In this song I feel like she's telling Lindsey to "tell her what to do" but not in the sense that she can't think for herself, but more like she loves him very much she just wanna be with him, and let him lead the way of their life so that she'll never make any wrong decisions again when it comes to love. |

| Lana Del Rey – Ride Lyrics | 13 years ago |

This song is simply about being a social reject, being someone who doesn't fit in in the society. After trying so hard to fit in, she just decided to go and "ride". This song breaks my heart. It's like someone who have been trying so hard to fit in and to get people to understand her. Even the "don't break me down" part sounds like she's begging people to just stop leaving or judging her for what she is and just accept and take her. And in the beginning of the music video, Lana explain something about having double personality or something? I can't really remember, but I think that's also one of the important element in this song: turning to alcohols and drugs to run away from your problems- "Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I, I've got a war in my mind." She's having a war with herself and to help her ease her pain maybe she resorted to alcohol and drugs ("to get into trouble") Plus, I don't know if it's just me but she kinda sounded like a drunk/high chick in this particular song. |
