Asa will be our personality in view. Her song titled “Dead Again” would be the track that
would either be trashed or applauded. As I will always say, my concern here on
this blog is not about what kind of song you sing but rather about the message
your song is able to pass across and how your lyrics flow into each other. All
I would be saying would be based on my view and I would want us all to look at
it from our own view then compare it to mine and deduct maybe I have really
said something true about the track. The track was released in the year 2014.
Let’s consider the lyrics of the songs first. It started with the line “No more you freaking bullshit, no more your
joking lies. No more you put me down with your deceptive blue eyes. Wake up and
smell the coffee, wake up and take a pill. You think I won’t go on without you,
you really think I would fail. You really are a fool, you sentimental fool, and
I’ve got to feel sorry for you.” Considering this first verse, we can tell
a story
Going to the second verse of the track; “No more you playing Jesus, why don’t you
pick a name. I thought that you were normal but you were devil insane. I tried
to keep you grounded cos it’s no good for my health. But you really can’t save
a man from himself. There so much I can say before I turn to pray, all ties
with you.” The second verse here discusses her expressing regret and pity
towards the friend for trying to be nice even though what her friend is trying
to achieve is to bring her down. Asa says here that all she had been doing to
make the friendship work was only having negative effect on her and at last she
says only a man can take actions to make things better for him.
The chorus of the track speaks thus; “cos what’s going around, you’re talking me down but I found out; so it
was, it was really you, you picked up the knife and you cut me in two, you
stabbed me in the back and then you twisted it in. You left me for dead again.”
She finally says here that despite all your pretense, I have seen you for what
you really are. It was you behind every of my fall and you not only did that
but made sure that there was no hope for me to get back up.
What’s the full story that this song brings to our mind
whenever we listen to it? It’s all about how human will always let you down
when you put too much trust in them. How they will treat you like shit just
because none of your success story does not have them in it. How broken hearted
you will be when you discover that your lover has never from the beginning of
your relationship been faithful to you. It breaks the heart to see that people
whom we always run to whenever we need a crying shoulder are not really there
to help us but instead themselves. The song might be showing how hurt she
became to find out that her friend was nothing but a lie. Yet we can still
assume that they had good times, and not just good times but times when her
friend really watched her back, times when her friend really cared for her and
this brings us to the fact that people will always change. Why, When, How, to
what and like questions is what we ask each other. So whatever relationship we
are in at the moment, why not appreciate and make the best of it now since the
table might just turn over tomorrow and we are left alone.
If left for me to decide what sort of a song is this, I
would stand up anywhere to say this is a very great song from Asa. This song
which really teaches about life, it tells exactly how the heart feels. I have
given us an insight on this song, why don’t we take our time to listen to the
song once again and then we can tell me if I had a correct interpretation of
the song or we have a better one. I would be waiting to hear from you all.
Whether I certify this kind of songs, I mean secular music is another story not
for here so if you will like to know about that visit here
Very nice man.
