Hey guys!
Well, I said I am going to be more regular about posting. :-) And I am trying to hold to that.
Most of you teens out there have probably heard the song "Royals" by song artist "Lorde".
I personally love this song. It's catchy, and easy to sing along with. It was Royals that finally got me "into" pop. For years, like until 6-8 months ago, really, I ONLY listened to christian contemporary music. But I heard "Royals" when with a friend of mine, and searched it's lyrics. I liked it... but I still wasn't sure if it was an "okay" song. ... morally. Then I heard my mom explaining it to my brother, and I thought, "hmm.. that's pretty cool!" And after looking at other reviews online, I thought... Hmmm.... some people seem to be getting mixed signals about this song. I want to clear up some of those. :-)
Here is the chorus of the song:
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.
And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood,
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy
So, the thing that I've seen is this: people dont understand the "We'll never be Royals" and then, turn around, and she says: "Let me be your Ruler".
I think that we can take this to mean "I am not going to be the best of the best. I'm not "higher" than you. And, because I understand that, and because I dont care, I have a power that some people dont have. I don't have to worry about what every one thinks, because I am who I am and I am who I will be."
Now, I think, as Christians, we can take it a step further. : I dont have to worry about what every one else thinks Because I am the Son or Daughter of the Creator of the World.
I hope this makes sense. :-) I'd love to hear your opinion on this. Do you think my reasoning is correct? Or do you think I am missing something? I'd love to hear what you have to say, so Please, DO leave a comment! :-)
See Y'all later!

PS. I'd also like to know if you all are interested in Movie/song reviews? I dont get to see too many movies, but the ones I do see, I like to dive into them, and I'd love to try to review them. :-)
