@[doolally10:38873] Song interpretations are subjective. You don't have to agree. In fact, it would be strange if everyone agreed. Honestly, my interpretation is a pretty good one. That might not be what the song writer meant by it but it's easy to see it could be. Not to say I know what the song writer was thinking, but there are as many songs about bad or sad things as there are about happy things. You can disagree with my interpretation but if you can't see why someone may come to that conclusion, given the lyrics, then I suspect maybe bias is at play. With the warmest regards.
Telling someone they misunderstood a word isn't "unkind" or "insulting". There was nothing insulting about what I said. He was free to disagree, and I was free to disagree with him. He was the one who was going on about my "PC bullsh!t" and my "little bubble". He got angry, personal, and wanted a fight. All I did was tell him he was incorrect about the meaning of the word PC. Actually, reading back, I was very civil and kind to him, considering he wanted a yelling match. I don't know what to tell you. Disagreement isn't unkind.
I may be way off, and I apologize if I am, but I suspect you may be the same person. Just a thought. |

@[D3vinebyD3sign:28228] Misogyny is the hatred, dislike of or prejudice towards women, if you want to bring out the dictionary. So yeah, it works. But really, some advice.. Bringing out the dictionary during an "argument" is a sign you're lost for ideas. And honestly, you discredit yourself by getting so angry, personal and rude over some random person’s opinion about the meaning of a random song. The more you try to insult someone you disagree with, the more you show you really don’t have anything else to say. You have some serious growing up to do if you get offended by something so small. Get over it.
Seriously dude, go post on a forum about political correctness if it bothers you so much. |

@[D3vinebyD3sign:27237] Unfortunately many people, including yourself, don't understand what PC means. I interpreted the lyrics and gave my opinion, that's all. That's not what PC mean. I'm against PC. And I'm aware they're Icelandic as I think most people are. We interpreted the lyrics and I'm sorry if you find that so upsetting. You may want to ask yourself why you find someone else's interpretation so angering. Perhaps there's an underlying issue there. The song is beautiful and perhaps had other intentions but the lyrics come across as someone who is angry that the popular men won't share the ladies. It's literally right there in the lyrics. You can disagree and perhaps the intention of the artists was different but that's my interpretation. People have different opinions. You need to accept this or you're really going to have a hard time in life. And who said I'm not a boy? |

@[cutewhensedated:27169] You nailed it. It's surprising how few people see this, but it really does scream misogyny. |

I find it shocking that no one else on the internet is talking about how obviously misogynistic this song is. This guy is upset that Samuel gets all the girls and he literally won’t share, like the girls are items and Samuel won’t let him have any. Its not about wanting a specific girl, it’s about feeling entitled to women and being angry they all like the hottie, Samuel. Or in other words, all the girls like the good looking guys. He wants a girl, any girl – but preferably a “pretty” one. Boo Hoo. It’s the incel anthem. And yea, I hope it’s tongue-in-cheek. I love this song, but the lyrics make me cringe. |
