Think before you do...

 Song: "Losing it" By: NeverShoutNever
Link to the lyrics and song: http://www.lyricsreg.com/lyrics/nevershoutnever/Losing+it/

Being loved is something everyone desires and even kills for. Have you ever thought that maybe being loved is as simple as having your family there for you no matter what and your friends being there to support you after a break-up, parents divorce, someone spreading rumors around school about you or even something as devastating as giving everything you have to that special someone. The one that you thought loved you until you gave them what they wanted. Then just left you and said nothing more to you. Makes you think doesn't it? You always hear from your parents to ' be careful' and 'don't get caught up in it. You don't know what love is' when the truth is... Does anyone ever really know what love truly is? Christopher Drew made a huge point in this song by saying "I knew I was only sixteen but I thought I loved her. And it'd last forever. But only if I knew that she wasn't true. How could she do this to me?"
The word 'love' is so over used that no one ever thinks of this. The lyrics in the song that really stand out and that every teenage boy and girl should take into consideration is "You've got your whole life to do these things" Peer pressure is something that happens all the way through life and something that we all have to put up with. So, next time you tell someone you love them... Think about it.

  1. This was a really great post. The word love is so overused. It doesn't mean very much to say anymore, and that fact is really sad. The lyrics from that song went really well with this, by the way.

  2. Thank you. I thought this would be a good song. It was a song that I really liked and I figured the topic needed to be brought up.

  3. In my opinion, this song is about a more important topic than just overusing the word "love": confusing sexual intimacy with actual love.
