Music is such a big deal in this day and age, but we like songs because it has a nice beat, and not everyone listens to the words they are saying within the songs. Songs have inspiration in them, and if you stop caring about a cool beat and listen to the words, you may be inspired.
1. "Skyscraper" by Demi Lovato.
"You can take everything I have / You can break everything I am / Like I'm made of glass / Like I'm made of paper / Go on and try to tear me down / I will be rising from the ground Like a skyscraper"
This song is for anyone who tries to tear you down and it's for the strength that you have in you.
2. "Battle Scars" by Paradise Fears.
"I'll carry you home. / No, you're not alone. / Keep marching on, / This is worth fighting for, / You know we've all got battle scars. / You've had enough, / But just don't give up. / Stick to your guns, / You are worth fighting for. / You know we've all got battle scars. / Keep marching on. "
Not the most well-known band, but they are a personal favorite and this song means so much to me. We've all got scars and troubles in our lives, and it's about working through it and accepting it.
3. "Life Is Worth Living" by Justin Bieber.
"When I thought it was over / God sent us an angel to help us out / He gave us direction, showed us how to make it last / For that long journey ahead / Said it ain't ever over / Oh, even in the midst of doubt / Life is worth living / Life is worth living, so live another day / The meaning of forgiveness / People make mistakes, doesn't mean you have to give in / Life is worth living again / Life is worth living again"
When you don't feel worth it and that you don't feel like life is worth it, this song shows you how life is worth it and you are worth it.
4. "Ours" by Taylor Swift
"Don't you worry your pretty little mind, People throw rocks at things that shine. "
Everyone goes through hate and gets words thrown at them, but those words and hate make a person shine brighter.
5. "Who Says" by Selena Gomez
"Who says / Who says you're not perfect / Who says you're not worth it / Who says you're the only one that's hurting / Trust me / That's the price of beauty / Who says you're not pretty / Who says you're not beautiful / Who says "
Don't Let anyone tell you that you aren't pretty or that you aren't worthy because you are.
6. "Play On" by Carrie Underwood
"Play on when you're losing the game / Play on 'cause you're gonna make mistakes / It's always worth the sacrifice / Even when you think you're wrong / So play on / Even through a storm on the darkest night / Don't you ever give up the fight / Even when you feel you're all alone. "
Just keep going even when you feel like everything is wrong, keep going.
7. "Wrong Baby Wrong" by Martina McBride
"Come on now / Everyone falls down / Everyone crawls now and then / Then they get up again / You cry if you want to / That's what we all do / But if you think you'll never move on you're wrong baby wrong. "
This song is technically a breakup song, but it's just realizing that you are going to be OK without that person in your life.
8. "Stand Down" by Little Mix
"Now I'm done with all your negativity / And I'm gonna let it wash all over me / I'll be stronger than your words, / baby, I'm harder / My smile lights up the world, / I'm flyin' higher / So stand down"
You are stronger and better than anyone who tries to bring you down.
9. "Masterpiece" by Andy Grammer
"This is your masterpiece, / don't forget to dream / And taste the colors in the air you breathe / It's your masterpiece, go ahead and fill it all / Don't stop til it is beautiful. "
It's your life so make it how you want and not how others want it.
10. "Nobody's Perfect" by Hannah Montana
"Nobody's Perfect / I gotta work it / Again and again 'til I get it right / Nobody's Perfect / You live and you learn it / And if I mess it up sometimes / Nobody's perfect."
In honor of the 10-year anniversary of Hannah Montana, here is some lyrics from her.
Don't let others tear you down and always be yourself, because you are lovely just the way you are.
