Dialectic Journal Week 11

I'm using lyrics from "Rolling Girl" by Hatsune Miku.  Adverbial clauses are underlined.

Lonely Girl always looked at unreachable dreams
Making a fuss if you got inside her head and disturbed, disturbed.

"No problem."was murmured, but weren't those words lost?

Fail again, fail again.
After ending your search for mistakes, it spins again!

Once more, once more.
"I'll also roll today,"
That girl says, that girl says,
Playing her words with meaning

"Are you better now?"
"It's still a ways off, I still don't see the point. I'm gonna hold my breath, now."


Okay, so this my favorite song (at moment) because the lyrics are just so good!
I feel that the lyrics apply to me also... in the end it ends up happy though~ ^^
It's about a girl who doesn't fit in to society's "perfect" girlShe puts on a fake smile and tries to be like them, but she keeps messing up, and they catch her at it.  The people that care about her ask if she's okay, and she says she is, but she actually isn't.  She's "Gonna hold her breath" and wait to be accepted.  And she goes through a lot, and ends up wanting to kill herself, but than someone finds her and accepts her for who she is, and she gets better finally, and she can stop holding her breath.
This song shows that people aren't always happy like seem to say they are.  You should accept them for who they are and don't make them follow societies "perfect" person.  It can have dire consequences.

Week 10 Dialectic Journal

lyrics from "My Heartstrings Come Undone" by Demon Hunter

When my heartstrings come undone
I will wait for you, pray for you
Before I make my final run
I will stay with you, decay with you

I know I'm not the perfect one, This pain has just begun
It's something I already chase, I already chase
You bring me to a better path, It's everything I asked
It's something I don't wanna face, I don't wanna face

There's nothing left! The fear is gone!

This is a really good song.  It has good lyrics and good tune and everything.
I like it because he sings about how he's not perfect, but he'll always be there for you (I'm not sure who "you" is, might be a lover, might be a friend, I don't know).  I like how he will go through things he fears most, what he "doesn't wanna face".  It's a very inspirational song.
