Song I Relate To

The song I chose that I relate to most is "Storm" by Lifehouse. 

 

The lyrics are:

How long have I been in this storm?

So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form

Water's getting harder to tread

With these waves crashing over my head

If I could just see you

Everything would be all right

If I'd see you

This darkness would turn to light

And I will walk on water

And you will catch me if I fall

And I will get lost into your eyes

I know everything will be alright

I know everything is alright

I know you didn't bring me out here to drown

So why am I ten feet under and upside down

Barely surviving has become my purpose

Because I'm so used to living underneath the surface

If I could just see you

Everything would be all right

If I'd see you

This darkness would turn to light

And I will walk on water

And you will catch me if I fall

And I will get lost into your eyes

And I know everything will be alright

And I will walk on water

And you will catch me if I fall

And I will get lost into your eyes

I know everything will be alright

I know everything is alright

Everything's alright

Yeah, everything's alright

I chose this song for 2 reasons. The first is because it's a slow, peaceful song and when I feel stressed or worried it helps calm me down. I listen to it all the time. The second is because the lyrics actually relate to being in a stressful situation. The situation in the song is about someone missing someone who has passed away, and not knowing if they'll be able to get through that. When I listen to it, I don't think about someone who has passed away, but I think about someone who is close to me that I wish could be there to help me. The part in the song that says "If I could just see you

Everything would be all right

If I'd see you

This darkness would turn to light" relates to me because sometimes when I feel worried or stressed, I also feel alone. And I wish that I had someone there to talk to about it and could help me through it. The lines that say "How long have I been in this storm?

So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form

Water's getting harder to tread

With these waves crashing over my head" are a metaphor saying that they're in a tough situation, and they're starting to struggle to get through it. I can also relate to this because I get stressed out easily and I worry about stuff and I tend to always feel like it's the end of the world even if it's not. The last part I can relate to is "And I will walk on water

And you will catch me if I fall

And I will get lost into your eyes

I know everything will be alright

I know everything is alright". These lines are saying that they have one person in their life that they know will always be there to help them get through their hard times. For me, that would either be my dad or my best friend. I find that they're the easiest to talk to and they give the best advice. But they aren't always there the second I need them which is why I relate to the first part about wishing I could see the one person that helps me get through everything.
