How do you Interpret Songs?

I got an idea to write this article because of ate @Ruffa's article entitled "**A Day with Parot**" which she shares about the music she listen to. So, something came up to my mind. Thanks ate Ruffarotchi! Mwa. Haha. https://read.cash/@Ruffa/a-day-with-parot-1815ea55 We all do listen to music right? I know, even we don't want to but our neighborhood playing music everyday with a loud speaker, yeah including our neighbors XD. Here in our neighborhood I always hear "Pusong Bato" (Stone heart). I have listened to this song for many years! Maybe it's their favorite. Haha. Okay, so because of them I will interpret this one first. I **will just get the few lines** that I'm going to interpret. **You can leave your interpretation too** below in the comment section because **we have different interpretations**, right?  Let's start. ****Pusong Bato**** *by Jovit Baldivino* LYRICS: Kahit sa'n ka man ngayon Dinggin mo itong awitin Baka sakaling ikay magising Ang matigas mong damdamin 'Di mo alam dahil sa 'yo, ako'y 'di makakain 'Di rin makatulog buhat ng iyong lokohin Kung ako'y muling iibig, sana'y 'di maging katulad mo Tulad mo na may pusong bato Lyrics Source https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/jovitbaldivino/pusongbato.html I guess this one is easy to interpret. It is like one person having feelings with someone and hoping that someday the feelings he had will be noticed by his loved ones. Because of the affection he had to that person he wasn't able to eat, maybe the reason is that he keeps thinking of the girl and every time he thinks that he will not be loved back as that person has a stone heart, he has no appetite as like "*Am I not deserving to be loved?*" "*There's no reason to live, so what is the purpose of eating?*". But still, he is hoping that if he will love someone again, has not have a stone heart! If I know a person like him, sorry to say this, but I will give him one slap, enough to wake him up from wasting his time on that person. Haha. Just kidding. I know **sometimes being stupid makes us happy**, keep it up. XD ****A Place In This World**** *by* *Taylor Swift* LYRICS: Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking Trying to see through the rain coming down Even though I'm not the only one Who feels the way I do I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world Lyrics Source https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/taylorswift/aplaceinthisworld.html I interpreted this song for OFWs (I salute you all, you have my respect! Except those doing something bad, you know what I mean). I'm sad for those who's not receive proper treatment from their boss. Anyways, let me share my interpretation. It's about a **person who goes to another country so that they can provide a good life for their family** even though they are not sure what awaits them there. Though she is not the only one who migrates to work, it is really hard to be away from family. So, they are all feeling alone as they can't be with their loved ones or family. But they are **willing to sacrifice those loneliness** and be strong as life must go on. Of course, as OFW, you need to find your comfort in the place wherever you are to fight the sadness. ****Nakikinig ka ba sa akin?**** *by Ben&Ben* LYRICS: Nakikinig ka ba sa akin? Hindi kita gustong awayin Pareho ang ating hangarin Ang kadiliman ay basagin Kung mayro'n kang pupurihin Sige lang, gawin mo 'yan Kung mayro'n kang babatikusin Sige lang, gawin mo 'yan Mahalaga'y bawat isa'y mapakinggan Lyrics Source https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.musixmatch.com/&ved=2ahUKEwjEqbTypZHxAhVX7WEKHRwMDzEQ5s4FMAN6BAgFEAs&usg=AOvVaw3FKm5HB8x0MfUAU7faHvg2 I interpreted this song as **between a government and citizens**. To be specific, in these trying times. All of us have been suffering because of the pandemic. Government sets healthy protocols to be followed by the citizens but some of us didn't follow it. Like they are not listening to the government like hey, we both want to end this so we can be more free! Can you please cooperate? **We are like a prison because of this pandemic**. Don't get me wrong, I'm not pointing out those **people who are still working despite the disaster** we've experienced because they don't have a choice but to work. The help(ayuda) from the government is not enough. Aside from that, not everyone receives help from them. It is fine to praise someone and not bad to have criticism as long as it won't be destructive. Because criticism will help the government to improve. As long as they take it positively and not the other way around. ****Something Just Like This**** *by Coldplay & Chainsmokers* LYRICS: I've been reading books of old The legends and the myths Achilles and his gold Hercules and his gifts Spider-Man's control And Batman with his fists And clearly I don't see myself upon that list Lyrics Source https://www.musixmatch.com/ I interpreted this one like a person that socialized and encountered different kinds of people with different personalities. A man that thinks he is nothing unlike other people with a talent. All the people he knew have been successful on something like **extraordinary people** because of the talent they have. I guess this is enough, I don't want my post to be so long as some readers get bored reading it. Haha.  Question: What songs have you interpreted? Can you share how you interpret it? 😁 dziefem's note: Stay away from those toxic people. Stay positive, but not in covid! XD The opinions, suggestions and questions are welcome! If you want to teach me, I will be glad and appreciate it. I'm willing to learn, just be careful of using words because not all of us have the same perceptions. I hope you understand my point, if not, I can't do anything about it. No Hate. Just Love. Thank you for reading! :)
