Song #1: Adele “Someone Like You”
Adele is known for her many depressing songs (I still like
her though) but this one seems to be a bit creepy. This song is so strange I
had to include the lyrics:
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you
things I didn't give to you.
Old friend, why are
you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold
back or hide from the light.
I hate to turn up out
of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay
away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see
my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't
over.
Sooooo many things wrong with these lyrics, where do I
start?! So if you heard that your ex is married and that his dreams came true,
it may be safe to say he doesn’t want you. “Old friend, why are you so shy?” He’s
probably not shy, just nervous to be around someone who is still stuck in the
past! You said you hated to turn up uninvited but you did it anyway! If that isn’t
stalkerish, I don’t know what is! It may not be over for you but it’s
definitely over for him! Get yourself together, Adele, and FAST!
Song #2: Melanie Fiona “It Kills Me”
Melanie’s second sentence in the song says, “I can’t be
alone…I know you’re messing around but who in the hell else is going to hold me
down?” Clearly, he’s holding you and every other woman out there down. Bye,
girl! Then she goes on to say, “I got to be out my mind to think it’s going to
work this time.” Well, ma’am! Here’s a bright idea, don’t try to work it out
this time! If it “kills you” to love someone, you’re loving the wrong person!
Message!
Song #3: Beyonce “Dangerously In Love”
I know I’m going to catch all type of flak for this because
no one is to EVER question Bey (yeah right) especially now that everyone is “drunk
in love” and they “woke up like this”…*Shade*. But anyway, this song starts off
crazy but the most disturbing part of this song for me is when Bey says, “I can’t
do this thing called life without you.” Hunh? Run that back!! It’s NEVER that
serious! The song is called DANGEROUSLY in love…case closed!
Song #4: Temptations “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg”
Yes! The Temptation’s get it too! The very first line is “I
know you want to leave me but I refuse to let you go.” Sir?! Refuse to let me
go? You’re loco! So how do you plan on keeping me somewhere I do NOT want to
stay?! You can do all the begging and pleading you want, but if someone is
going to leave, they’re going to leave!
Song #5: Heather Headley “In My Mind”
I had to leave this song for last. Can you say CRAZY?! This song
is the very reason why Heather Headley’s career didn’t take off like it should
have! Y’all know the lyrics! “In my mind I’ll always be his lady, in my mind I’ll
always be his girl.” Well, if that same thought isn’t in his mind as well, the
relationship will never work. Heather said, “It don't matter either way what
they do or say cause ain't nothing changed. He's standing with her but his soul
is calling out my name.” Ma’am a whole lot has changed. He has moved on and you
should try doing the same.
These were just a few songs that I thought to be unsettling.
What other songs do you find to be a bit
disturbing?
