POST #3: "Should it be banned? Violent in lyrics..."

"Love The Way You Lie"

Eminem feat. Rihanna

[Intro - Rihanna:]

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

But that's alright because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry

But that's alright because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

[Verse - Eminem:]

I can't tell you what it really is

I can only tell you what it feels like

And right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe

I can't breathe but I still fight while I can fight

As long as the wrong feels right it's like I'm in flight

High off her love, drunk from her hate,

It's like I'm huffing paint and I love her the more I suffer, I suffocate

And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me

She fucking hates me and I love it.

"Wait! Where you going?"

"I'm leaving you!"

"No you ain't. Come back."

We're running right back.

Here we go again

It's so insane cause when it's going good, it's going great

I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane

But when it's bad it's awful, I feel so ashamed I snapped

Who's that dude?

"I don't even know his name."

I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again

I guess I don't know my own strength

[Chorus - Rihanna:]

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

But that's alright because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry

But that's alright because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

[Verse - Eminem:]

You ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe when you're with 'em

You meet and neither one of you even know what hit 'em

Got that warm fuzzy feeling

Yeah, them chills you used to get 'em

Now you're getting fucking sick of looking at 'em

You swore you'd never hit 'em; never do nothing to hurt 'em

Now you're in each other's face spewing venom in your words when you spit them

You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em

Throw 'em down, pin 'em

So lost in the moments when you're in them

It's the rage that took over,

It controls you both

So they say you're best to go your separate ways

Guess that they don't know you 'cause today that was yesterday

Yesterday is over, it's a different day

Sound like broken records playing over but you promised her

Next time you show restraint

You don't get another chance

Life is no Nintendo game

But you lied again

Now you get to watch her leave out the window

Guess that's why they call it window pane

[Chorus - Rihanna:]

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

But that's alright because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry

But that's alright because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

[Verse - Eminem:]

Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean

And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine

But your temper's just as bad as mine is

You're the same as me

When it comes to love you're just as blinded

Baby, please come back

It wasn't you, baby it was me

Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems

Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano

All I know is I love you too much to walk away though

Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk

Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk

Told you this is my fault

Look me in the eyeball

Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the drywall

Next time? There won't be no next time!

I apologize even though I know its lies

I'm tired of the games I just want her back

I know I'm a liar

If she ever tries to fucking leave again

Im'a tie her to the bed and set this house on fire

I'm just gonna

[Outro - Rihanna:]

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

But that's alright because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry

But that's alright because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

First of all, I'm TOTALLY against violent, in all it's ways! I think there is no reason for people to be violent with each other or toward other creatures. There are differents types of violent: physical, emotional, psychological, etc. In my opinion, all types of violents are distructive and devastating. 

The most commonly heard about if physical violent because is the one that is easier to notice. You see bruises, marks, scars, etc. I get sick to my stomach every time I heard about family violence or abusive relationships. I don't get how can you let somebody that "claims" to love destroy you in such a horrible way. How can you let somebody touch in such an invidious way and manipulate you to the point you believe you deserve to be punch or punishment.

For that reason is that I choose the song above, "Love the way you lie", because it explain how the jealousy and anger can take control of ourself and make us destroy the person we love the most. Something that really touch me about this song is how she never lose faith in him and saddly that is what happend everyday. Women all over that globe let they partners abuse of her with the excuse of "but he loves me", "he does it for my own right". 

DON'T BE BLIND! Love is about compromise, respect and tolerance. You can't let anyone lay a single finger on you without your concern. Don't be a victim of domestic violence. You're not alone. Ask for help! 

I think that violence lyrics should be banned if they don't have an especific purpose. For example, the song that I choose even tho it talks about violent I think it will help persons who are in the same situation realize what it's happening in their lives and star doing something about it.
