 Song 220

Hello everyone, welcome back to the blog! I can't believe I'm at 220 song reviews already! Today's song I'm reviewing is Dismantled by Icon For Hire. I really like the message in this song, and thought it was really good to listen to. So let's get into it! 

Starting with the intro, we have this slow and melodic drum beat. I like the set up, it leads into the first verse a little bit, then the rest of the arsenal of instruments comes in. The first verse: "I'm skin on bone, you like to watch me fading, fading, fading. Still holding on, won't tell you how I hate it, hate it, hate it." The pre-chorus: "Oh, just one thing left to do. Got nothing left for you, but I will make it through, oh." This song tells that, even though you've been through a lot, and even though you're broken, you can stand tall and fight. The chorus: "Take my heart, go ahead and strip me for parts. Pieces have gone missing, no survival instinct. It's my life, let you use it up one more time. Leaving me in shambles, I'll survive dismantled." This tells us that, we can still survive and heal even though we may be in pieces. My healing journey has been long, and I'm still in the process of it. I've come a long way, but still dealing with some things. This song put things into perspective, and was actually very therapeutic to listen to. Also the music video for this song is pretty cool! So please check that out! After the first verse, there's an instrumental part. Which has that slow melodic drum beat again, backed up by guitar. The second verse: "Gone as a ghost, my suffering is wasted, wasted, wasted. I stay composed, but underneath I'm raging, raging, raging." That's how it can be sometimes, you go through a lot of emotions when you're healing. Rage is definately part of that, I'm still mad at certain things. But you also can't live your life angry, so you direct that rage into something more positive and healthy. The pre-chorus and the chorus repeat, then it's the bridge: "I send my regrets and you can keep the resentment, I will never forget you, now that I've learned my lesson. Spend the rest of my lifetime trying to unlearn your lies, only one of us is built to survive. I send my regrets and you can keep the resentment, I will never forget you, now that I've learned my lesson. Spend the rest of my lifetime, trying to unlearn your lies. Only one of us is built ro survive." And that someone is me, I am built to survive. Which is also why I loves wolves, because of how strong they are and how resilient they are. Wolves are fighters, if they can get through stuff then so can I! The chorus repeats one more time, there's some different lyrics on one of the repeats "And if you should ask for my dying breath, wouldn't know how to say no." I like the vocals on this part, very strong very powerful. Then we finish with that last slow melodic drum beat. I love this song, it makes me feel better. Makes me feel powerful, and I really think you should listen to it! 

That's it for this review, I will see you all in the next one! RAWR XD <3
