Inspirational Music

Hey! Thank you so much for accepting my challenge and being my opponent! Hearing your argument, I am very excited to see this continue on and learn more about your personal viewpoints! It should be exciting! After hearing the change in content (good improvements by the way) I feel as though i should probably expand on the lyrics and focus on a larger, broader range of the music and the artist. Here goes... "If you want it, take it I should've said it before Tried to hide it, fake it I can't pretend anymore I only wanna die alive Never by the hands of a broken heart Don't wanna hear you lie tonight Now that I've become who I really am [x2:] This is the part when I say I don't want ya I'm stronger than I've been before This is the part when I break free 'Cause I can't resist it no more You were better, deeper I was under your spell Like a deadly feeling babe On the highway to hell, yeah I only wanna die alive Never by the hands of a broken heart Don't wanna hear you lie tonight Now that I've become who I really am [x2:] This is the part when I say I don't want ya I'm stronger than I've been before This is the part when I break free 'Cause I can't resist it no more Oh my baby, ooh Thought of your body I came alive It was lethal It was fatal In my dreams it felt so right But I woke up every time Oh, baby [x2:] This is the part when I say I don't want ya I'm stronger than I've been before This is the part when I break free 'Cause I can't resist it no more" As Ariana also stated, it is unfortunate about the amount of grammatical errors in the song, but I fell in love with the content almost as much as I did her:) I feel the content is what deserves the attention and then why she is an inspiring role model. The song- Break free has so much to do in the terms of realizing that we are who we are and we can be okay with that. This song is written in the terms of a relationship and becoming stronger in the process of the lows and downfalls of the relationship, but in more literal context, it can be applied to everyday life and the situations we all face. "Tried to hide it, fake it. I cant pretend anymore."- Anybody reading this ever have an issue that they didnt want to talk about at first happenings? I know I have. This tells me that I will always have those moments when I feel as though I have reached my lowest a low and that all I want to do is hope and pray that its not real. But thats not the truth. I have to face those problems. But I can do it. We all can. And we can be better and stronger and we can grow in the process. "I only wanna die alive, never by the hands of a broken heart. Don't wanna hear you lie tonight, now that I've become who I really am."- This strictly deals with her relationship and that all she wanted was honesty after realizing who she was and that she was strong and powerful. But can't this mean something else? "I only wanna die alive, never by the hands of a broken heart." I personally interpret this phrase as the situations we encounter in our lives and how we choose to handle them. I feel that the broken heart discussed represents me, or anybody else agreeing with me, and us feeling that we are broken and need to be healed. We dont want to go through everyday life and feel like nothing and that we are worthless. Our broken hearts need to be mended. Then when we finally realize who we are as individuals and what we are capable of, that is the moment when we will become okay and powerful. That is the moment when we realize that we are strong and we can love ourselves for being unique and we can be okay. "You were better, deeper, I was under your spell. Like a deadly feeling, on the highway to hell babe."- This phrase pretty much summarizes in repetition, the ultimatum of the last paragraph. We all have times when we are influenced by something. Art, sports, music, fashion, entertainment, books, etc... We are all under a spell of some sort when we are influenced by many things, because those things are the forces that drive and motivate us to do what we do. Without most of them, many of us would feel incomplete and lost. Many times, they will feel like the deaths of us. Personally, my life is based upon music, and any other form of art or self-expression. Music, dancing, painting, drawing, writing, etc... Without them, I feel that my life would be a mistake and that I would be completely lost without them. They help to shape who I am as an individual as I am sure, they do for many other people. They help to teach me that I am powerful. I am okay, good, powerful, and amazing for being who I am. We can all be this way. "This is the part when I say I dont want ya, Im stronger than Ive been before. This is the part when I break free. 'Cause I cant resist it no more."- When we finally learn to release of all the pressures and expectations and learn to be okay with our own unique individualism, that is the part when we will rise from the ashes, break free, and become the person that we are meant to become and be happy with who we are. Breaking free and accepting yourself for your own unique individualism is one, if not the hardest, obstacle that we will ever overcome. It is so hard to accept yourself and realize that being yourself and being unique is okay. Break free and live the life you deserve. Whether you are homosexual, diagnosed with a disease, young or old, crippled, nice or mean, we are all beautiful and we all deserve happiness. That is what this song is saying. Although it is written into the context of a relationship, we can dig deeper and realize that is written to mean much more. Myself, us, YOU are BEAUTIFUL FOR WHO YOU ARE. Nobody can ever take that away from us. No matter what, being unique, different, and individualistic, is okay and it makes us beautiful. Learn to realize who you are and break free from everything that is trying to bring us down. That is what this song is about. Now taking a detour, I will more deeply discuss the reasons why Ariana Grande is inspirational and why she is one of the best role models and most inspirationally influencing people in the world today. I would love to also have the opportunity to rebuttal against my opponent right now, but I cant. I find myself at a loss of words to do so. Due to the fact that, I too love Lenka. As I was preparing the topic of the debate, I find it ironic that I, myself, was about to pick " Trouble is a Friend" by Lenka as well. I laugh at the choice of my opponent only as I was about to use the exact same artist and song when I created the debate. Very well thought and picked on my opponents part!:) Now handing the debate to the hands of my opponent. I loved all of your points and couldn't agree with you more. Also wanting to choose the same song before I changed my mind, I feel as though I can agree with you on many things, and we could enjoy discussing many subjects of the world and every aspect of life:) Good luck to you and I cant wait to read more.
