Music is the only sanity left in this otherwise insane world. This gift of God to the human kind has given meaning to many meaningless lives; ones who had lost all hope have revived and started living back again. It can bring strange realizations and enlightment. Sometimes what world fails to make us understand by simply talking or writing to us, rhythm conveys it very beautifully and impact fully.
Some similar impact brings the song, ‘I love the way you lie’ by Eminem and Rihanna.
The song starts with Rihanna’s ironical acceptance that sometimes we knowingly take in the poison as is tastes too sweet to be given away. Even though the truth might be on our faces yet we don’t accept it as the illusion of the lie being a truth overrides our practicality. The infectious sweet pain makes us addictive to it and we get lost in our hallucinations. This is what the blind faith meets to. To break the walls of this illusion and walk away needs a big leap else this intoxication of false pleasure burns us away.
As the song proceeds, Eminem sings his heart out that though he knows that the wrong doings have hurt his girl and all his promises have turned hostile, yet he can’t stop from wanting her. Though the mistakes are known, and truth and lie is indentified yet the passion becomes wildness and saturates one in the same insanity of desire that burns not just the host but his world too.
Do listen to this song…. It has everything to take you over, not just the literal meaning but the metaphor is hitting harder….. Little too savage, yet addictive……
Gr8 lyrics..Definitely one can correlate with his/her life.. but how does it matter anyway...??
ReplyDelete@Samir... It does matter... Music helps to vent out as well as realize that the phrase 'move on' was the best phrase for people stuck in these situations.. Music does help me every time.. at least it widens the narrow of the tunnel somehow.. magically...
