song 80

 Song 80

Here we are 80 reviews! My goal is to get to 100 before the end of the year. And I want to do something special for my 100th review! I hope I can get there, but for now song 80! Now I only found this song yesterday, but I really love the message in it. So the song I have for today is Stay Weird by The Funeral Project! So the intro is slow, but then kind of picks up with the guitar and the base. Verse 1: "Here's to the kid in the crowd, who curses the cliques so devout. And all of their idols of gold. Secondhand shirt on your back, religiously covered in black. Your soul could never be sold." As an undiagnosed autistic teen, high school was a nightmare for me. I felt like I didn't belong anywhere, and I wore a lot of band tees, and my clothes were a way I could express myself, without using my voice. Chorus: "Perfect isn't perfect to me, I'd rather go down with the freaks, than feast with the kings. Stay weird, don't ever fake it. Don't let them take out your heart. Stay weird, so what they hate you. Their world can't contain who you are." I really love that, they're saying how you should be yourself regardless of what other people think. Second verse: "Here's to the fearless and crazy, who don't give a f*** what the others say. They just do what they want, circles are meant to be broken. Thank God you're not like the chosen ones, boring till the end." Here the song is saying embrace who you are, and be authentically you. Be a little crazy, be weird, because boring is icky. lol. Then the chorus repeats, and we have the bridge: "Born to be one of a kind, conditioned to fall into line. For the wrong life, for the wrong life. They'll tell you to be who you are, then rip out your will and your heart. Without sacrifice, you're the sacrifice." Here they're saying how people can be so hypocritical, like people will say that you can wear what you want, then make fun of you for it. People fear what they don't understand, and unfortunately they take it out on people. But as long as you're staying true to you, that's all that matters. So like the song says, stay weird, be unique, wear what you want. It's a lot of fun, as an alt girl I love my outfits and wearing some really killer pieces. And yes I even have wolf ears and a tail that I like to wear sometimes. Because pretending to be a wolf is fun! This song has pretty much the same tempo throughout, so not much to analyze there. But I do hope you check this track out, not just because it's a really good song. But because it might just inspire you to break free from the crowd, and be a wonderful, unique individual. :) 

See you next time! :)
