Take the song We Are Young by F.U.N. At first, I liked it. It's catchy! But, if you actually listen, or read just the first verse of lyrics its message is pretty terrible. My girlfriend was the one to notice: <br /><br />Give me a second I,<br />I need to get my story straight<br />My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State<br />My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar<br /><b>My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking about a scar, and<br />I know I gave it to you months ago<br />I know you're trying to forget<br />But between the drinks and subtle things<br />The holes in my apologies, you know<br />I'm trying hard to take it back</b><br />So if by the time the bar closes<br />And you feel like falling down, I'll carry you home<br /><br />Whether emotional or physical, the singer has given their "lover" a scar. Instead of trying to make it up to their lover, they're out getting wasted with them instead. What does that say about abusive relationships, and overcoming trouble within relationships in general? It's okay if you beat your girlfriend, as long as you carry her drunk ass home from the bar at the end of the night? I don't think so.
