Lyrics That Inspire
Tumblr

Music has always been my escape. Whether I'm having a phenomenal day or a miserable day, music is always there when I need it most. It's not just my escape; it's my sport. Music is my ultimate passion, and I would be completely lost without it. I know that I'm not the only one who's got a list of songs that mean something to them or at least give them some inspiration. Be sure to check out these motivational songs to keep your spirits high!

1. "I might only have one match but I can make an explosion."

Rachel Platten's inspirational lyrics exemplify the importance of conquering obstacles in our lives- big or small. Although we may have just one match, we can "make an explosion." These lyrics embody everything that it means to be a true survivor and more.

2. "No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful."

The effortless Alessia Cara, one of my favorite artists of all time, is the greatest role model for teenage girls today. Her song, "Scars To Your Beautiful" delivers a powerful message to young women who struggle with self love and body image. She steps into the spotlight with a beautiful bare face and ripped jeans, as if she were just as normal as all of us. Her lyrics reflect how beautiful every person is despite their flaws and imperfections.

3. "You shoot me down but I won't fall."

Sia's prominent lyrics, "You shoot me down but I won't fall" define courage for one's self. Her words are completely and utterly real and uncensored, similarly reflecting how she hides her face in the music world, for she believes that artistry comes from the person and not the celebrity.

4. "I won't just survive. Oh, you will see me thrive."

Most people probably recognize Katy Perry's song, "Rise" from the 2016 Summer Olympics. Her song was a grand success for athletes and people around the world. These words have touched upon the hearts of those battling their deepest fears and those who have yet to find their way out of difficult times.

5. "But I keep cruising. Can't stop, won't stop grooving."

Last but not least---Taylor's "Shake It Off" is an inspiring song that always the top of my list for its upbeat, positive sound. Her well-known lyrics are here to make sure that we block out the haters and focus on all the special talents and qualities that scream individuality

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.
