Hey /mu/
Why are modern pop songs so god damn whiny?
This song is playing on the radio all of the fucking time and it's really pissing me off:
I Took a Pill in Ibiza (some fucking remix)
by Mike Posner
I took a pill in Ibiza
To show Avicii I was cool
And when I finally got sober, felt ten years older
But fuck it, it was something to do
I'm living out in LA
I drive a sports car just to prove
I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars
And I spend it on girls and shoes
But you don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
I'm just a singer who already blew his shot
I get along with old timers
'Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot
And I can't keep a girl, no
'Cause as soon as the sun comes up
I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse
But the truth is I can't open up
[chorus]
The message of the song is basically "Oh yes fans, I'm rich and famous but REALLY, I'm the victim here! You know when you're famous you just HAVE to take Drugs, break up with girls all the time, live in Hollywood and drive fancy sports cars all the time which is so SHALLOW and nobody thinks about MUH FEEELS when I sit in the air conditioned tour bus, it's such a burden to be rich and famous, you REALLY don't want to switch places with me fans!"
Oh fuck off!
PS: Don't watch the video. It just adds to the cringe. Basically a remake of Bob Dylans famous subterranean homesick blues, with a super depressed looking artist, as if he's telling the story of when he was traumatically raped in his childhood.

Man who cares?
I just love the instrumental.. It's not like this boring white dude has anything better to sing about

These lyrics are wrong. It's actually "I took a pill and some pizza"
>>
>>74360219
I actually relate with these lyrics so fuck off
One of the better pop(ular) songs
>>
>>74360337
That makes you a pleb btw no irony
>>
>>74360390
T. 99 percent of these songs are so vague anybody can relate to them and that's why they exist
>>
>>74360390
Oh so you are a whiny, famous rich guy?

How about good songs with shitty lyrics?
>You`re the one who plays with fire in the night,
you`re the one who scares people with the scythe
>You`re the one to tell Him to ever live by,
you`re the Lord to shaking all alone
>You're alone!
>Now you left me out to drop His sight:
I wasn't ready for the sunlight to come to my heart
>Take me with you, take me far; take me away from the painless soul
>Drop the haze; save the skies... reaper never lies
>Now running out to forever alone,
sweating and shivering; cold right to the bone
>Pain is come; control to fall...
become for the mad to escape with a bottle from this world
>You`re far too alive: try back to the sky
I wasn't ready for the scythe... get me down to the trough
>Like lightning from the sky,
the moon is up with pride; go listen, take away
>Your place for my lying out... being high, come Heaven above
>Drop it now: it falls alive; take me to the sky

Oops didn't mean to quote or do a shitty job greentexting

Its actually a song about being a one hit wonder, and the life that stems from it. Everyone knows you for one song 6 years ago, and you cant escape it
>>
>>74360219
You're missing out on the fact that Mike Posner had a one hit wonder in the late 2000s. The point of the song is how pathetic he is for desperately trying to keep up appearances despite nobody really giving a shit.
>>
>>74361269
Hm I guess nobody's explored the theme of keeping up appearances before
