Relatable Music

Ever hear a song that just hits you so close to home that you can relate to every word that the band is trying to convey to their listeners? I sure know I have heard plenty of songs that i just sit back and let the words control my emotions and take in all my life experiences. This one song especially hits home for me, I hope you enjoy the song and really listen to the words and come to love this song as much as i have.

Shinedown: Bully

As a kid I was always bullied for wearing glasses and being extremely shy and timid. As a result I never felt like I fit in anywhere and to this day, still feel as if I am sort of an outcast. This song hits home for me in so many ways that I couldn't even begin to tell you half of the things I experienced growing up.  One experience that stands out the most was one year in elementary school, (I am not going to name the person) but we were out in the field playing kickball and I always used to wear those swooshie workout pants as I like to call them, and a girl who was always picking on me and making fun of me was behind me in line and for some odd reason decided that she was going to pull my pants down in front of everyone. I ran away screaming and crying, to this day I have never forgotten that day. Why must people be mean and hateful, that they have to try and make someone look like a fool? Will the madness ever end? So what if everyone is different??

From this song the lyrics that hit me the most are the following:

We don't have to take this, back against the wall
We don't have to take this, we can end it all

All you'll ever be is a fading memory of a bully
Make another joke while they hang another rope, so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don't hurt
Can you hear me?
No one's gonna cry on the very day you die
You're a bully

 

Been trying to think of something meaningful to put as my first tattoo, and I Think I have finally figured out something meaningful to me and that inspires me to make a difference and not let the cycle continue throughout life and my childrens lives when i happen to have them.

We don't have to take this, back against the wall We don't have to take this, we can end it all
