 Song 97

Hello my fellow music lovers! I am only two songs away from 100, and I still don't know what I'm doing for it lol. But for right now, I bring you song 97! Car Underwater, by Armor for Sleep. Which may be a forgotten band, and if that's the case then I'm shining a light on them. I really love this song, mostly because it gives me the 2000s post hardcore scene that I love. This song came out in 2005, I was just a little girl then. But now I can appreciate artists from that time. The intro is slow at first, with that raw guitar that I love so much. Then we're into the first verse: "Believe the news, I'm gone for good. Call off the search, no one will know that I'm down here. And believe the note, I left for you. You can't turn back the clocks, you can't pull me up from here, so don't try." I feel like this part is talking about how he's gone, and he doesn't want people to look for him. Next is the chorus: "In a car underwater with time to kill, thinking back I forgot to tell you this. I didn't care that you left and abandoned me, what hurts more is I would still die for you." He's underwater in a car, waiting to die. And as that's happening, he's thinking about what he could've done differently. Yet he's the one that got hurt, and even though he's already dying. He would still end his life for this person. Second verse: "Make time slower, give me longer. It's too late for me, no one will know that I am down here. And believe your dreams, of me sinking. So far below, you can't pull me up from here, so don't try." This kind of goes back to the first verse. Then we have the bridge: "Leave it up to me, to burden you again. This one's not your fault, please forgive me. Don't think back, don't think back on me at all." He wants the person to forget him, I'm kind of getting the sense that he's depressed. I think this song is the perspective of a person who is at the lowest point of his life, and then he unfortunately thinks the only way out is to take his own life. I know this song is a bit of a downer, but I love the way it's showcased in this song. After analyzing this, it made me realize just how powerful our thoughts can be. And how we handle them. We can handle them in a positive way, or a negative way. Hopefully the negative way isn't permanent and you can get passed it. 

That's it for this review, I will see you in the next one! :)
