Amber's thoughts

So a little while ago my friends introduced me to the musical Things To Ruin it has a whole butt load of good bops. My favorite one is "a son of a gun" because it is really catchy and has some cool figurative language that makes me think of it as more of a poem that someone just put some music to, than just a catchy song. The lyrics  “About a guy whose hand's a hook, guy whose hand's a hook, guy whose hand's a hoo-oo-ook And he's got blood on all his shirts, blood on all his shirts, blood on all his shir-ir-irts Cause everything he feels he hurts,” I enjoy this lyric because it’s a story that has two different meanings the literal where he could actually have a hook for a hand and he ends up accidently hurting most of the things he touches which is tragic but very interesting to me. The figurative language of everything that he likes/loves he kills or ruins which is a fear of mine but hearing it put with upbeat and bopy music makes it all seem much less scary and less likely to be a plausible thing that I might end up doing in my life. The whole soundtrack is basically along those lines of sad or scary things that happen in life but put to fun upbeat music. It reminds me of how I think and feel about life, like it’s all scary and sad but that doesn’t mean that I can’t have a good time during the pauses between the sad and scary lyrics of life.
