| Metric – Dreams So Real Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
"Have I ever really helped anybody but myself, To believe in the power of songs To believe in the power of girls" These lyrics are the epitome of the song. It is about self-doubt, either real or satrical, fed by sexist naysayers. To believe in the power of girls clinches it for me. Who believes in the power of girls? Nobody! Have any of you read the youtube comments on Metric's music videos?! All the misogynists care about is how hot she is. Nobody cares about the songs' lyrics or what she's passionate about, just that she's sooo bangable! Anyone seen the one for Youth Without Youth? Yep, full of comments about her face and her body. Nothing at all about what the song means. Few about how kick-ass the music is. It is disgusting and repulsive as a woman myself, as a fellow musician, and as the mother of three daughters. A woman's only worth, we are reminded again and again, is as a sex object. That's what this song means. Her screams about injustice are yawns to people who make comments like "Yeah, but is she hot?" Been there, done that, didn't get a t-shirt. |
