It's a sad world we live in when this is considered music.
tell me about it...
tell me about it...
I think about that every day. Going to School is really depressing, hearing how awful so many other kids' tastes in so-called 'music' is.

This so called artist represents the downfall of a art and the exploitaition of it music these days is nothing but a money maker and you are all buying into it if music is art then it should be for making what ever you want it to be not have it sound exactly like the last person who came before you this shit is so fucking generic i cant stand to watch music die like this you are fucking with what i hold most dear n soon i will have nothing left so fuck you record companys fuck you radio and fuck all you people that willingly buy into this shit.
I'd say well said, but punctuation?

I don't get it. How can this song exist, and then there are thousands of great songs throughout history that have been nearly, if not completely, forgotten? What about all the great artists in history that actually played instruments?
What happened to songwriters like John Lennon? What happened to clever rhymes and clever lyrics and lyrics filled with fun innuendos? Are we really doomed to "Baby (x9) Thought you'd always be mine" as every song's chorus? What has the songwriting (and music world, in general) gone to?
My last questions: Do you really think people are going to remember Justin Bieber in 25 years time? Will he make Rolling Stone's 100 Best Artists list, like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys and all the other great groups before "he" came along? Because we've remembered The Beatles for almost 50 years... Just making that a little point......
Simple-This song has no meaning. It's just a teenager who hasn't yet hit puberty, sings like a laughing kookaboora (Spelling, sorry,), and has no talent whatsoever. This kid is fucking 15, hitting 16, maybe even 16 already. How the holy hearts does he know what love means? What a fucking loser.
I'm also sick of all these fangirls bitching and saying "This song was wrote for me!!!!!11111". Dears, he doesn't even KNOW YOU. He's just another talentless lowlife/loser who plays his 'music' only for gaining money, not for putting time and effort into his so-called 'music'. This little poser doesn't give two shits about you, so fuck off and stop complaining. Sorry for my cussing, I just needed to get all this loserome out of my brain.
Damn the music industry. DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!!!!
Everyone is being so shallow about this song! Don't you know Justin Bieber only keeps his "hot teen that all the 12 year-old girls want to sleep with" image so that he can hide the darker side of his lyrics, because he can not go without saying the things that hurt him deep inside, but he also does not want anyone to know about what he feels because they would never understand anyway?
But I understand Justin. I understand it all.
This song is about the internal struggle of a boy with the meaning and purpose of the "self", after coming to the conclusion that nothing but Nihilism explains all of the questions and concerns he has about life and the universe.
The song takes an especially strong view on the idea of "ignorance is bliss" and Justin's constant references to his childhood are about how he wish he could go back to a time when he did not understand or know anything, and did not have to suffer from the realisation that all life is without purpose.
The "baby, baby" is referring not to a girl, but actually to himself as a baby, and the "ahhs and oooohs" are pathetic attempts to replicate the sounds he used to make at that time, because out of his desperation he is willing to try anything to go back to when he did not understand anything. The "thought you'd always be mine" is of course about his innocence and how he thought he could stay ignorant and blissful forever.
The verses are about how he slowly lost his ignorance over the years, as he learned that the things society teaches us can make us happy (possessions, money, love) made him happy at first "I'll buy you any ring", but slowly he finds they are meaningless "When I was 13, I had my first love, There was nobody that compared to my baby (once again referring to how there was nothing like the ignorant bliss he had as a child)", and as he keeps living his life he finds that materials and emotions have no value, and Justin struggles to hold onto things but he can not stop a nihilistic view from taking hold of him, "And I wanna play it cool/But I'm losin' you".
Finally the last verse is a bit ambiguous. The "I'm gone" could be referring to the "self", i.e. with Nihilsm completely taking over him he now has no conception of himself, and so he is now an empty shell without anyone inside (therefore he in essence is gone, even if his body is still there), OR it could also mean that in his struggle with Nihilism the only way out he could think of was suicide, so the "I'm gone" could refer to his falling into the pit of despair and killing himself, but I don't know for sure. You'd have to ask Justin in person to find out...
That is a very thoughtful interpretation, but I cannot help but think you missed... everything. I don't mean to be hateful. Please do not mistake this is a toll or me as a hater.

The very second verse kill everything you just said. "Are we an item, GIRL quit playin'. We're just friends? What are you sayin'?" That is very obviously talking to a girl about a relationship that he was taking much more seriously than she. "Is there another, look right in my eyes." Again, talking to a person. Childhood innocence cannot leave you for another person....

Childhood innocence cannot leave you for another person.
After that, we need to take a look music video. I am aware that those are not always reliable, but he is chasing a girl throughout the entire thing. He is talking to her, and trying after her. Again the lyrics point "I'll buy you anything, I'll buy you any ring." First, how would he give those to innocence, and generally, why would the innocence of a male child care? (one could say that he is just that effeminate, but that is an entirely different cobweb.)
So what about his real life? Do we see any evidence there? He was going to interview after interview. Believe me, I have watched them all. He is one of the happiest kids anyone has ever seen. After making the music video, he engaged in a romantic relationship with Jasmine V, then after, Selena Gomez. Also, importantly, he did not commit suicide. The only evidence I can see is the seemingly sudden jump he had into adrenaline related activities, like bungee jumping.
Also, he wrote this song with other people. I mean to say a lot of other people. If he is so sensitive about this subject and "Doesn't want anyone to know about what he feels," I would think that he would be writing it by himself and neglecting the help he so readily took.
This part, has a good deal of what some would call hate. I call it disappointment, since his older music (like say... "Never Let You Go" was so much better). I can't help but think that if he had the ability and motivation to put that much of himself into his songs, he would not be writing the superficial and generally thoughtless thing he is writing now.
I would love to believe he is that deep (not that I want him to be dropping into Nihilism), but I just do not see the evidence. If you want to listen to a song that is an example of a person without much meaning in there life, Motion City Soundtrack is a goldmine. You could listen to "Skin and Bones," "Circuits and Wires," or even "Disappear" if you interpret it that way. (I don't really know what is going on in that song.
If you think I am missing something, please offer a reply. I would hate to be missing as much as I would have to be to be contradicting you, should you be right. I know it has been years since you wrote that comment, but I just saw it today.
It is about the 'war on terror' and the reactionary nature of western democratic governments. The 'wake me' bit is about the people killed by the guns that are caught in the middle of the war they never wanted held in their country. After the 'first love still around' bit it switches perspectives to the western government where they claim the real reason to start all this is to get oil.
HAHA. As if. In 20 years who will know Justin Beiber? Absolutely No-one.
I love that! :D
I love that! :D
@killakan46 Greets from 7 years in the future. We're about a third of the way through your prediction. People still know who he is. Turns out, he was a lot like Justin Timberlake... dismissed as a lightweight too quickly. I ain't saying he's Michael Jackson or anything, but, he definitely has lasted a lot longer than most people would have thought. I'll stop by in 2022 when we're halfway though your prediction (which expires on 5 Jun 2032) to let you know if anyone still remembers Beebs.

@LILMAMMA99 How? Paul Simon was a good musician.Justin Bieber? She's a terrible songwriter, the lyrics have no meaning. Gimme some Elton John or Todd Rundgren.

IF YOU LISTEN CLOSELY TO THE LYRICS IT'S NOT SAYING "GIRL" OR "HER," IT'S SAYING KURT. This song is about Kurt Cobain. I mean think about it: "Just shout whenever, and I'll be there." Little Justine Beaver found a time machine, hence whenever (even in the past because Kurt's already dead at this point) and he's asking Kurt to shout for him, a cry for help, like some of his songs. He will be there for Kurt. I don't have time to link all the references to Nirvana songs, but how could anyone miss the references to "Heart-Shaped Box," "You Know You're Right," "Lithium," "Come As You Are" and "Stay Away," among others. The whole part about the playground confused me until I realized it was a reference to "School." LIL JUSTINE IS TRYING TO GIVE KURT THE RECESS HE NEVER HAD!!!
OBVIOUSLY about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
