The song that I have chosen for this task is The Great Escape by P!nk. The song is the artist's album The Truth About Love. The original meaning of the song by the artist is roughly about emotions, having highs and lows and owning those emotions.
For me the song speaks to me because it relates to me personally. And parts of it to me have a meaning of being honest with yourself and saying things as it is, because in this world there are a lot of things that are done behind people's backs. So for me, I prefer to be upfront about things rather than going in a roundabout manner, like the saying goes "the truth hurts".
tell me more how the song relates to you personally.

The song relates to me because it's about the ups and downs, and for me I have went through phases of depression before. And those make me who I am today. And the chorus relates to me when I went through the phases, people telling me that things will go away, but to me it sounds like they're telling me to get over it. The other part of the chorus it states that the singer will always be there, which is like what I would do. Because I'm not good at comforting people that are down, but I'll always be there for those that need me.
ReplyDeleteOften time, people won't say things that they need to hear, but things they want to hear. Like if someone is failing an exam, people would be like "there's always next time don't worry". But for me I prefer to tell them to "buck up and work harder" because most of the times they're not putting in the effort. They're just giving themself excuses and making themself feel better. By telling the truth, they will obviously be mad and feel insulted, but in the long run they will realise that what was said is true and they really need to pick themself up and push harder to reach their goal. So that's why the truth hurts.
