5 Songs That Are Truly Relatable
Pintrest

Music is everywhere: in our cars, coffee shops, and even elevators. We can't escape from it. Then, there are those people who are literally listening to their favorite artists at every available moment, the ones who never take out their earbuds or headphones. This gives us a lot of time to think about what exactly we are listening to. A lot of the music we hear at this day and age talks about emotional downpours, mistakes, and so many other semi-cliché themes. But then we come across that one lyric that makes us go, "So true!" Everyone is different and that's why music is so great! There is a genre for everyone. Here are some truly relatable lyrics for all that life may bring you.


1. "Lazarus" by Circa Survive


"2am, I'm thinking about how lucky I've been, I need to take a moment to myself. 6am, I'm thinking about how lonely I've been, I need to take a moment to myself."

This is the type of song that you listen to when you've had a rough day and decide to take a breather. It reminds us that we all struggle, we all have those moments where we feel lost. Truth be told, I find myself thinking in the wee hours of the morning and having these same thoughts.


2. "Always" by Panic! at the Disco


"When the world gets too heavy, put it on my back. I'll be your levy. You are taking me apart like bad glue on a get well card."

This is the anthem for all us care takers out there. When our friends, family or significant other is hurt, we always want to be there for them. This song describes how we will be there to hold their hand. While it may not be easy, we are willing to do this because of how much we love and care for them.


3. "I Don't Care" by Fall Out Boy


"The best of us can find happiness in misery."

Have you ever had one of those days where you are so fed up with how things are going and all you want to do is scream, "I don't care anymore!"? This is the song you need to listen to. Even though I tried to steer away from clichés, this song embodies the sound of teenage angst. However, the lyrics describe how we have to get over these bad days and make room for the good ones. This is a great mood booster for these days and everything in between.


4. "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" by Cage the Elephant


"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked, money don't grow on trees. I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed. And ain't nothing in this world for free."

A lot of people struggle financially. This song opens up the minds for those who take their wealth for granted. Looking at this lyric, alone, opens up our view. Nothing in this world is free. We all pay for what is given to us, whether it be cash, our emotional well-being, or our blood, sweat and tears.


5. "Float" by The Neighbourhood


"They show you how to swim, then they throw you in the deep end. I've been learning since, but it doesn't mean I'll float."

A message to all parents out there, you can try to prepare us for just about everything but this doesn't mean we can survive it all. This is an important lesson for all of us. We can mentally prepare ourselves as much as we see fit but in reality we can't prepare for everything. We have to understand this and not blame ourselves for things we couldn't see. We should instead, learn from these experiences and move on in the best way we can.


We can learn so much more than this from music. This isn't even a chip in the iceberg. This is just a singular rain drop during a monsoon. There's a genre, an artist for everyone, just know that you aren't alone. Music has taught me this and I hope you are able to see it for yourself.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
