"Closer" Lyric Analysis
Youtube

One Dance by DRAKE FT WIZKID & KYLA was this year's top hit song for 2016 followed by Lucas Graham with 7 years. Coming in close at number 7 was The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey with Closer. "The song of the summer" beat out Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" for this top spot, setting him back at 8, 16, and 35. (Sad)

Here is a quick analysis of this year's number 7 song:

Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much and that's an issue but I'm okay

•Really? Because you're a frat boy who drinks natty lite at 10am


Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them again

•But really see you at our mixer next Friday #SigmaApplePie


I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car

•So how'd you get here then?


And four years, no calls
Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar

•How did you find her in a hotel bar???? You can see her?

And I can't stop
No, I can't stop

•You can't stop what?

So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover

•So we went from a broke down car to a Range Rover? What did you major in?

That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder

•I thought this line was "LIKE that tattoo on your shoulder"


Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole

•You have a Range Rover and yet you stole a mattress? Also, why do the sheets need to be pulled off, you stole this mattress?

From your roommate back in Boulder

•So where are we now?

We ain't ever getting older

•Thats a lie.

We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older

•Thats a lie too.


You look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you, I was insane

•Obviously, it wasn't that important or you would've remembered.

**This is why we shouldn't argue ladies**

Stay and play that Blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tuscon, okay

•What song? And what were you doing in Tuscon because I thought we were in Buffalo?

I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no call

•Has it really been four years?


Now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar

• #GlowUp

And I can't stop

•Because your car is broke down

No, I can't stop

•You need new brakes

So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover

•These are nice leather seats please don't make a mess

That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder

•Might not taste the best

Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder

•Poor roommate, I hope you're reading this
We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older

•You got that Benjamin Button

So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder


We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)
We ain't ever getting older

YES YOU ARE. YOU'VE GOTTEN OLDER SINCE THIS SONG CAME OUT.

We ain't ever getting older
No, we ain't ever getting older

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
