9 Christina Grimmie Lyrics That Are More Powerful And Relevant Now Than Ever
zedlaxlove64

Christina Grimmie was such a vocal powerhouse. For those who don't know who she is, she was a small musician who started her career by making YouTube videos in 2009. As time progressed, she started to gain more media attention and even competed on the sixth season of "The Voice." Before she was taken from this world far too soon, she definitely had some amazing songs that contained deep, powerful and meaningful lyrics. Let's take a look at a few of them.

1. "I won't be diminished, eclipsed or hidden. You're gonna see my light blaze back to life like a Phoenix rise" - "Invisible"

Christina's very first posthumous release. It is powerful in vocals and lyrics, the entire song itself lets us all know that Christina may be physically gone, she is still very much present.


2. "Liar, Liar, don't cry on my shoulder. You played with fire, and smiled when you told her." - "Liar, Liar"

A song about a deceived romance, Christina expresses her disappointment through the chorus of this song.


3. "When the ocean meets the sky, it settles on the crimson tide. I'm gonna give you steady love — and love you till the storm subsides" - "Steady Love"

This song is featured on her latest, posthumous album, "All is Vanity." The entire song is beautiful, but these lyrics speak out to me the most because she is stating that she will stick her lover through the good and bad times.

4. "Love is all you need." - "Advice"

In her first ever single, "Advice," Christina sings about the importance of slowing down, loving each other, and enjoying life while we can.


5. "All my friends say it wasn't true love, I shouldn't waste my tears on you but they don't know that I, I only miss you when I breathe." - "I Only Miss You When I Breathe"

We can all relate to someone that we miss, even though we probably shouldn't. These lyrics highlight the emotional impact of missing a toxic, former ex-lover.


6. "Your tongue won't tie, you'll always find the truth.. yeah, you do, but still you smile despite the lines I drew for you." - "With Love"

All of Christina's songs are beautiful, but this one is my personal favorite. This song speaks on unconditional love. She shows her appreciation for someone who is always there even when things get tough.



7. Basically the entire song "Crowded Room."

It hard for me to pick on a particular lyric from this song. But if you listen for yourself, you'll see what I mean.

8. "I can't take back the bite, this fruit was not meant for me, deception and vice at the finest I've ever seen." - "Deception"

She here sings about the pain and anguish she feels from the cold betrayal of an ex-boyfriend. Definitely, something all of us can relate to. Even when she sings, you can feel the emotion in her voice. This song alone made me want to get cheated on, to be honest. (Only kidding.)

9. "Not enough rooms in this house, to hold all the treasures we found, Evidence of us all around... Your fingerprints all over who I am now." - "Think of You"

Yet another emotional number from Miss Grimmie, this song shows her reminiscing about a former friend, or possibly lover and all the memories they shared together. Definitely a song to curl up and cry to.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
