When you are going through a bad time music can be an eerie oracle. Over the last few days, while the subject of coming out to a hostile Sister and unreadable parents has loomed at the forefront of my consciousness, certain phrases from songs have stuck out to me. These are songs I've heard many times before, but never realised their significance until now.
Ever conscious of how "13-year-old-teeny-bopper-girl" it is to reproduce lyrics on a blog, here's the few snippets that grabbed me.
Words, they meant nothing
So you can't hurt me
I said words, they mean nothing
So you can't stop me
I said your eyes, they see nothing
So you can't fault me
I said words, they mean nothing
So you can't hurt me.
So you can't hurt me
I said words, they mean nothing
So you can't stop me
I said your eyes, they see nothing
So you can't fault me
I said words, they mean nothing
So you can't hurt me.

Does it scare you that I can be something different than you?
Would it make you feel more comfortable if I wasn't?
You can't control me. You can't take away from me who I am.
You can't change me. You can't break me.
Would it make you feel more comfortable if I wasn't?
You can't control me. You can't take away from me who I am.
You can't change me. You can't break me.

When you learn to love yourself, you will dissolve all the stones that are cast.
The less I seek my source for some definitive, the closer I am to fine.
The hardest to learn is the least complicated.

I'd whine about the teenybopper comment and my recent lyrics post, but I hadn't read your blog for a few days and remembered to check the date before I started spouting steam from my ears.
I consider myself suitably chastised and will spend the next week in the naughty corner :P
(actually I'm kinda chuffed at least someone still thinks i could pass as a teeny bopper!)
