Song Title Lyrics that Caught my Issue Stand

Attention
1. Dear Mr. President by “How do you dream when a Poverty For me, poverty is probably the biggest major problem the world is facing.
Indigo Girls and Pink mother has no chance to say Because any other problem can be solved with just a few years and a few experts,
goodbye” but poverty, it keeps on coming back like a lizard’s tail, cut it off and it will just
grow again. Although it is not the most pressing matter as of now, when the
current major problem subsides, we must resolve poverty once and for all.
2. Everybody’s Fool “No flaws when you’re Two – faced people People are afraid of being outed, of being alone in such a terrifying and cruel
pretending” world. So what do other people do? They mask themselves to look like the perfect
little munchkin that everyone will love. No matter if it hurts, no matter if it is
tiring, as long as it gets you love, trust, respect, and care, no one is to say no to
being a “fake”.
3. Family Portrait “It ain’t easy growing up in Broken Family As time goes on, the opinion of the people changes, how they act and think
world war 3” change as they get older, which is one of the many reasons why a lot of people
have to deal with broken families. As the song goes, the difference of opinions of
the parents can lead to the children thinking of their home as a warzone and their
family always in war. These types of situation brought to a kid’s attention can
majorly alter how the child grows up.
4. If I Die Young “Funny when you’re dead Thoughts of suicide “You don’t know what you had until you’ve lost it”. This saying perfectly sums
people start listening” up my stand as well as beautifully tackles the song. No matter how important the
information you hold is, if people will not lend you their ears it is all for naught.
But once you’re gone, once you are no longer within their presence, suddenly
they need you, suddenly they want, suddenly your opinions weigh more than gold
and diamonds. Alongside suicide, I think another issue that is described in the
song is the ignorance of people to others.
5. Invisible “Someday you’re going to look Society making people This new world, this new society, they have become so obsessed with how the
back on all these days and all who are slightly world will view them to the point they are desperate in fitting in no matter the
this pain is gonna be invisible” different outcasts cost. However, the people unfortunate enough to not fit in like the rest are
considered weirdos, outcasts, and aliens to their peers. Which can bring them
anxiety, depression and many other psychological illnesses.
6. Mad World “The dreams in which I’m dying Showing how bad our Our society has been toxic towards people nowadays, they divide us by race, by
is the best I’ve ever had” society has become color, by gender, and it is getting tiring. Our society refuses to learn the ways of
the new generation, to the point the lyrics I chose are the possible future for many
of the new generation. The pressure the new generation gets, the hate just because
of a simple opinion is unbelievable.
7. Most Girls “You look greatest when you Women needing to Women are their own people, they do not need the opinion of men who know
feel like a queen” meet the standards nothing of how they should be acting, and neither does the public have a say in it.
made by the public. The impossible standards set for women, the hurdles, the pain, the work they have
to go through just to be on the same platform as men, is disgusting to a certain
 point. Women do not need no one’s opinion except for themselves.
8. One of us “What if god was one of us, Just The silent but This song asks the question “What if god were within our population? What if we
a slob like one of us, Just a noticeable hierarchy of were to walk beside him?” I’ll be honest, I did not even think of respecting god
stranger on the bus, tryna make the community all that much until I clearly heard the lyrics, I do love him for everything he’s
his way home” done for me and my family but really I did not think of respecting him like any
other individual right now in the living world. But the moment I heard the lyrics
and imagined the possible scenario that god was one of us, my mindset
immediately changed. This just goes to show that we unconsciously act different
when someone with great power and influence is infront of us but change when
they are not.
9. Tatsulok by Bamboo “Habang may tatsulok at sila ay Corruption Bamboo clearly stated how the “law” works around the world, how it brings
nasa tuktok, Di matatapos ang about “justice”. It is, embarrassingly, a pretty well-known fact that the law can
gulong ito” only bring justice to those who are rich. In the silent hierarchy in our world the
rich can sometimes be higher than that of the leaders of our countries, and the
leaders of our countries pull strings in order to fulfill their own wants and needs.
10. Zombie “When the violence causes Trauma brought by war I have watched many movies and many series, but none of them accurately
silence, We must be mistaken” depicts how the soldiers who survived war act. They don’t just be happy with
compensation or with a golden medal, they are stuck with wounds that cannot be
healed, memories unforgettable, and trauma that is irreversible. War heroes as we
call them are nothing bad shells of the people they used to be, no matter how
lively, how strong, and how active they are, the memories of war and the
terrifying scenarios within the war will always cloud their memories and haunt
them.
