My Teenage Lyrics

I haven’t been able to find the absolute words for what I’ve feel before I found this song lyrics:

Crazy-Simple Plan

Tell me what’s wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Young girls dying to be on TV
They won’t stop ‘til they’ve reached their dreams
Diet pills, surgery
Photoshop pictures in magazines
Telling them how they should be
It doesn’t make sense to me
Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what’s going on?
Tell me what’s going on
If you open your eyes
You’ll see that something is wrong

I guess things are not how used to be
There’s no more normal families
Parents act like enemies
Making kids feel like it’s world war III
No one cares, no one’s there
I guess we’re all just too damn busy
Money’s our first priority
It doesn’t make sense to me

Tell me what’s wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Rich guys driving big SUV’s
While kids are starving in the streets
No one cares
No one likes to share
I guess life’s unfair

I think that the lyrics really is a good way of telling the truth about society and how it puts so much pressure on some people and it’s plain sight but nobody does anything about it. Really reflected my teenage life.

And then, it’s been a long time I didn’t listen to Keane song, Everybody’s changing. When listen to this song again today, arghh it feels like there’s something that stabbed me precisely at the bottom of my heart. It’s really what happening to me. 

Everybody’s Changing-KEANE

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don’t see how you can
You’re aching, you’re breaking
And I can see the pain in you eyes
Says everybody’s changing
And I don’t know why

So little time, try to understand that I’m
Trying to make a move
Just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel the same

You’re gone from here
Soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
‘cause everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel right

This lyric reflects the truth about life. Nothing remains constant, everybody’s changing and it will always happen, we have to accept it, wheter we are happy or not. 

As we know, the day has passed by so fast, that’s why, no matter what happened, we must face this world, face towards the reality that you have been walking on. Just like me, people around me (especially my family and my friends) have been changing so far. My mom, my dad, my friend, my classmate, it just feels like I don’t know them anymore. They have a new life. I want to survive, even though everybody and everything is changing.

I just realized, if everybody and everything is changing, why don’t I change myself too? Why don’t I change my thought too? And why don’t I change my life too?

Meet the brand new me!
