Them Heavy People
The first few times I watched and listened to the song, it felt so disconnected to me. The video meant something completely different than the song. At first, for me the song was about learning something from those less fortunate. After listening to and watching it more than a couple times, I’ve come to a conclusion slightly different, but that slight makes all the difference. Now it feels like it’s about someone teaching you to be yourself and come out of your shell, in order for you to teach it to someone else, a constant “rolling the ball” of responsibility to help people.
My Verse:
my cage has cracked and I’m awake
instead of sleeping in all day
I was meant to scream out loud
not inside my pillow clouds
I don’t care for what I’ve done
living alive is much more fun
I know it’s pretty basic, but I am not one for writing lyrics. I’m very free-verse. Anyways, it’s all about being learning to live, really live, instead of just breathing and going along, just making it by.
