RE: Lyrics Run My World

This is a reply to Sam’s post

I’m a big music kind of person and I truly believe that certain lyrics can define you at the right moments. For decades music has been something more than just noise. Artists create music to convey their emotions and use certain lyrics to express their feelings. Inspirations, motivations and experiences give the lyrics and music the meaning behind it. Whenever any artists are interviewed, they are asked about the meaning behind their songs and what they are supposed to represent.

Here are some of the lyrics to “Underclass Hero” by Sum 41
“Well I won’t be caught living in a dead end job
While praying to my government guns and gods
Now it’s us against them
We’re here to represent
To spit right in the face of the establishment.
And now i dont believe (ain’t got no faith in nothing)
Stand on my own (ain’t got no sympathy)
Wasting the youth (while being young and useless)
Speak for yourself (and dont pray for me)
Well because we’re doing fine
And we don’t need to be told
That we’re here doing fine
Cause we won’t give you control
And we don’t need anything from you
Cause we’ll be just fine
And we won’t be bought and sold
Just like you”
In this song and in the entire album Deryck Whibley is expressing his feeling towards his father. I was at X-Fest in 2007 when Sum 41 was there and he talked about how he never had a father figure and this album shows the hardships that he’s gone through.
