Have you ever walked around campus listening to a very catchy song and wondered what is the meaning behind the lyrics? Well, I have. Most songs are very clear about the message they want to send; however, we just do not pay much attention to it. We just get caught up with the melody and forget about the rest.
Some other times, the meaning behind the song lyrics is hidden in metaphors, analogies, or rhymes, and it becomes somewhat hard to decipher. For these couple of reasons, I have decided to write this list to tell you about some of my favorite empowering song lyrics, and their interpretation is up to you.
These songs speak about the reality that we are facing these days. They really make you reflect, accept, and think about the things that should be done to move forward with society. Also, they remind you of the importance of self-love, the uniqueness that each and every one of us has, and how we can contribute to the world to make a change.
If you ever feel down, just remember this list and listen to one of these songs; you will not be disappointed. Most of these songs are very popular, while others are still undervalued.
