Misunderstood
Strong, durable, vigorous, and resilient. These adjectives are the most accurate means of describing Pink and her successful album, titled "Missundaztood". If I had somehow been stranded on a desert island, without a doubt in my mind, this album would be the one item that would help me to survive. Although I have an interest in a variety of music, I do not think that country or pop-like music would be the ideal type of music that would help me to feel as hopeful in such a situation. This album, both sounding upbeat and radiating a feeling of triumph, produces a sensation of hope and survival. What makes this album particularly important to me, is not only the lyrics and sound of the music, but more importantly, it explains how tough life can seem. In particular, the songs "Don't Let Me Get Me," "Just Like a Pill" and "Family Affair" provide a rock/pop tune, easy to feel, and lyrics that send a shiver through out one's body:" Don't let me get me/ I'm my own worst enemy/ It's bad when you annoy yourself/So irritating/ Don't wanna be my friend no more/ I wanna be somebody else". These feelings of self-frustration and poor self-esteem, emit something so powerful and so deep--something that most young adults or teenagers all too o
My mother and I finally stood up against this pathetic excuse for a human being, and ever since we decided not to let him control and destroy us, I feel this amazing sensation every day. The third of the four songs is "Family Affair. " While the first song represents depression and frustration, this next song takes that frustration and recognizes where the base of the anger lies. In "Family Affair" the lyrics go as follows: "I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away/ Don't wanna go back to that place, but don't have no choice, no way/ It ain't easy growin' up in World War III / Never knowin' what love could be, well I've seen / I don't want love to destroy me like it did my family. But it was only through Pink's album, that I was able to somehow realize the strength that I had within myself, that I realized that I didn't deserve to be treated like this. I literally grew up in a World War III, because my father has something known as narcissism. If I conquered the power of my mentally-sick father, a few days stuck on a deserted island certainly would not, as Pink says, "keep me down". As a result of encountering and prevailing over such things in life, this will influence you, and make you a stronger, better human being. While the first three songs represent feelings that I often felt, this final song titled "18 Wheeler" is one I play nearly every day. If I could actually sit here and type out the whole story from beginning to end, I'd have written an entire 400-page novel, but instead, although the details of the story may be unclear, just know that this album is so important to me, and really helps me to appreciate all that I have overcome. It lets me know that no matter how bad things may seem, if you put your heart and soul into overcoming these obstacles in life, things will get better. " Both this and the fourth song really complete the reason as to why this album means so much to me. " The effects of having a verbally abusive and unbearable father has been very influential in shaping my personality and character. The precision of the tone and lyrics just-I don't even know how to explain it-but just spurs life and motivation throughout my body.
