"She Like's Me For Me" Entry
I feel in love with the lyrics of these songs, when he says "what she sees/are my most rending desisions/my insecure conditions/and the tears upon the pillow that i shed," I just flipped. The conditions we try to hide from people like him being indecisive, insecure, and a cryer are just so restraining sometimes. But then acceptance comes into play when he says that she sees this but still likes him, the fact that she likes him for him (with emphasis) just perfects my feeling that humans strive for acceptance for themselves, for their perfections and imperfections. That they are loved for what they view as their bad qualities as much as their good ones. Then the feeling he gets because she likes him for him (" but what she sees/is that i cant live with out her/my arms belong arround her/and im so glad i found her once again/i found her once again/once again/yeah im so glad i found her once again.") is so overwhelming that he says it like 5 times. This is what human beings want, need, and strive for. Having it somewhere where these guys can sing about just signifies the importance. We want someone to accept us by understanding our idiosyncrasies and still love us even after discovering them. I mean there are like a million other songs out there that have a similair message, but this one just hit me like a brick wall. The simple phrase of she likes me for me just puts it in such relatable and understandable terms that any human being can relate to. Nobody really wants to hide themselves, they may do it because of that strong penchant towards acceptance (my main point), but to be able to be accepted for our true selves is ideal (what human beings stive for). There is definetely people that push for acceptance through negative terms, and this point can't be ignored. I believe human beings are born innocent, are naturally good but through their journey in life, humans can often take a detour down a path frowned upon in society, because human beings often have a strong inclination to enter an easier path which is often "evil," but they do because of their desire for acceptance and the easier it is to reach it the more likely they are going to go down that path. An easy path of acceptance, like drugs, sex, and violence overcomes human beings and the strive for acceptance pushes people down this path. I feel like I better understand what I am arguing right now, but I have so much thinking to do.
