what are the norms?
This blog would be like a sequel to my other blog
entitled as "apathy".

Apathy would be the social disease that almost everyone is affected.
Everyone is so caught up in achieving goals that are not even
good enough to be called as goals. In this blog I will feature the song:
"The fear by lily allen"

I know that feed backs about her songs are not that good, since
almost everyone is saying that she is not singing nor rapping.
It's as if she is just putting rhythm to her talking. But what
I like most about her songs is the message found in it and how
easy you can listen to it.

Well the fear goes like these (2nd stanza):
"`ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
`Cuz everyone knows that`s how you get famous
I`ll look at the sun and I`ll look in the mirror
I`m on the right track yeah I`m on to a winner"



That's one great point since basically, people really don't
care about your "brains" but instead how hot you can be.
The more clothes you bare, the more attention you can get from people.
I'm not saying that it's not okay, but instead I'm saying that:
let's not focused ourselves with people without clothes, our worlds
don't revolved around them. They can get money from us, but we can't
get money from them.

Then lily allen wrapped it up with the chorus:
"I don`t know what`s right and what`s real anymore
I don`t know how I`m meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
`Cuz I`m being taken over by The Fear"

Now,she is talking about she doesn't know what the norms are.
What is normal in the society and what is not normal.
It's as if these two are overlapping each other, to the
extent that we won't know the difference between modeling
and fornication, parenting and child abuse. It's because almost
everyone is doing it that it would also become a norm in the society.

Even to the point of education: we often hear students saying "that's normal"
when it comes to getting an "F" during exams. Well, the truth is that's not
normal. There maybe something wrong with your studies. yeah, getting an "F"
is not a surprise but we should not take it lightly and say that it's normal
like eating.

The second stanza would go:
"Life`s about film stars and less about mothers
It`s all about fast cars and passing each other
But it doesn`t matter cause I`m packing plastic
and that`s what makes my life so f***ing fantastic"

It's a bit explicit but still there is a point.
About why film stars are more praised than those mothers
who are working extra hard just to feed their family.
About how people are caught up with drag races and does not
care about other serious things like how would this affect
the environment but instead they are thinking about how they can pass
the person in front of them.
The third line is like sarcasm talking about people really
don't care since basically, they are plastics. They don't care,
they can't feel, and that's what makes their life great since
they won't be under the impression of feeling sorry or pity
our situation.

I won't dissect the remaining stanzas since, it would take a lot of time
and it would be too long to read. You may now have grasps the idea.
Just like what we were told in our recollection; "The poor are not used to
being poor, we are just the ones who are used to them as being poor".
We often think that those poor people are used to their life but
practically we are wrong since we are the ones who are used to in their situation.

Think deeper!
