may 26 - hellew elliot yamin (backposting)
why hellew, elliot yamin. i heard that you have a sophomore album out. congratulations! what a perfect time to discuss a thing that should have been discussed a long time ago: i think that your song, "wait for you," is about a guy who beats up his girlfriend. i have been mulling over this a long time, and then that song was not on heavy rotation anymore, and then it was for the second time, and i had those thoughts again, and now you have a second album coming out, so i just need to get this off my chest.
whenever i hear this song on the radio i just imagine you being in a wifebeater being all upset that your girl has not been coming home for a while. and then there are flashbacks and we see why: she got beat up.
So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me
- i was just convinced, dude.
But I know it's a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be
- i also have problems with people telling other people how they should feel. especially since you accusing it as a lie, which, why would you say that?
What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is and it just ain't like that
- that she just ain't being a punching bag?
Why can't you look at me
You're still in love with me
- again, the assumption
Don't leave me crying
- ha! typical line to get her to feel sorry?
Baby why can't we just, just start over again
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance
I can love you right
But you're telling me it won't be enough
- no, i don't think love is enough is "hit when angry" is on the agenda. also, don't they always say this to get the girl to come back?
and finally after all that, promising to wait for the rest of your life is maybe a little creepy, for me.
but don't get me wrong, elliot yamin and elliot yamin's fans. it's not like i hate the song. in fact, i love to sing along with it in the car, complete with facial expressions (of the pleading and looking sad kind). it's not anyone's fault but my imagination, which is unfortunately very alive and active. in fact if my imagination is a person, i would think that the relationship between us would be of the love-hate kind.
so that is done, now i can put my head back on. and proceed to micro-analyze other things, such as, when faced with the possibility of watching brad pitt in the curious case of benjamin button, i chose to watch twilight instead? (the answer is NOT BCUZ I HAVE ROBZ PATTINSON FEVER EEEE EEEE)
