Social Relevence Part 2

Not Afraid By: Eminem
This song is about him overcoming his early difficulties in his life. He is telling about his path to success. He says that he will stand up for what he believes in. He was sick of people lying to him, so he decided to take his matters in to his hand, and do them himself. He realizes that he messed up earlier in his life, but now he has made it right. He knows that he got distracted in his early career, and now he is back on track. He does not want people to follow in the same step that he did. He says that he got his life back on track, so he could make another record for his fans. He did not want to disappoint them. He is trying to tell people to get up, and stand up for what they believe in. By telling people his difficulties, he thinks that they might realize that their situation is not that bad. He wants to inspire people to follow in his footsteps. He is telling people that he will help them out if they need help. He wants people to put their lives together. This is relevant to society because people try to inspire people all the time, and giving examples of how they got themselves on track, helps out the other people.

Social Relevence Part 1

Prayer of the Refugee By: Rise Against

This song is someone talking to a younger child, and telling him a story about a time when they were forced to leave their land. He is talking about how people were forced to move away from their homes. They didn’t want to leave, but they did because they were told to. The people that told them to move actually forced them to move. They attacked them, and burned down their houses. They parents knew what was going on, and were worried, but they didn’t tell the kids because they didn’t want them to get involved. Then when the people tried to help them, they said they would stand up for themselves. They didn’t need anyone to help them because they can “stand their own ground.” They know if they let people help them, they will be let down. They lost a lot of people because they were forced to move, but they also met a lot of people too. He says that everyone was counting on everyone else, so they couldn’t let each other down. I think this a good story that is told. It shows that people might be forced to move, but if they stick together, they will always persevere.

Friendship

Two Steps Behind By: Def Leppard
Walk away if you want to it's ok, if you need to you can run, but you can never hide From the shadow that's creeping up beside you There's a magic running through your soul But you can't have it all (Whatever you do) I'll be two steps behind you (Wherever you go) and I'll be there to remind you that it only takes a minute of your precious time to turn around and I'll be two steps behind. Take the time to think about it Walk the line, you know you just can't fight it Take a look around and see what you can find Like the fire that's burning up inside me, There's a magic running through your soul But you can't have it all (Whatever you do) I'll be two steps behind you (Wherever you go) and I'll be there to remind you that it only takes a minute of your precious time to turn around and I'll be two steps behind. There's a magic running through your soul but you, you can't have it all (Whatever you do) I'll be two steps behind you (wherever you go) and I'll be there to remind you that it only takes a minute of your precious time To turn around and I'll be two steps behind. Two steps behind yeah, baby two steps behind ohh, sugar two steps behind
This song is about a man who is trying to catch up to his friend. He says no matter what his friend does, he will be two steps behind them. It just shows that he will not give up on his friend, no matter what.
