So, P!NK released a couple of new songs recently that I am absolutely in love with. One is called "Raise Your Glass" in which she says:
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs, we will never be, never be
Anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on, and come on, and
Raise your glass
Just come on and come and
Raise Your Glass!
I am so absolutely in love with this song because I am not traditional and fit into every one of those categories in some way shape or form.
And today, the new video for her song "F*cking Perfect!* was released and I am just totally in love with and I love the meaning behind the song in which she talks about on her website. These are the lyrics:
Made a wrong turn
Once or twice
Dug my way out
Blood and fire
Bad decisions
That’s alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, missundaztood
Miss “no way it’s all good”
It didn’t slow me down
Mistaken
Always second guessing
Underestimated
Look, I’m still around…
Pretty, pretty please
Don’t you ever, ever feel
Like your less than
Fuckin’ perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like your nothing
You’re f**kin’ perfect to me
You’re so mean
When you talk
About yourself
You are wrong
Change the voices
In your head
Make them like you
Instead
So complicated
Look how big you’ll make it
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It’s enough
I’ve done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons
See you same
Pretty, pretty please
Don’t you ever, ever feel
Like your less than
Fuckin’ perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like your nothing
You’re f**kin’ perfect to me
The world stares while I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in lying and I tried tried
But we try too hard, it’s a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cuz they’re everywhere
They don’t like my genes, they don’t get my hair
Stringe ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that?
Why do I do that?
Why do I do that?
Ooh, pretty pretty pretty,
Pretty pretty please don’t you ever ever feel
Like you’re less then, f**kin’ perfect
Pretty pretty please if you ever ever feel
Like you’re nothing you’re f**kin’ perfect, to me
You’re perfect
You’re perfect
Pretty, pretty please don’t you ever ever feel like you’re less then, f**king perfect
Pretty, pretty please if you ever ever feel like you’re nothing you’re f**king perfect to me

She says on her website:
"Cutting, and suicide, two very different symptoms of the same problem, are gaining on us. (the problem being; alienation and depression. the symptoms; cutting and suicide). I personally don't know a single person who doesn't know at least two of these victims personally. A lot of us have seen certain starlets showing off their latest scars on a red carpet somewhere, usually right before they head back to their favorite rehab.
Its a problem, and its something we should talk about.
We can choose to ignore the problem, and therefore ignore this video, but that won't make it go away.I don't support or encourage suicide or cutting.
I support the kids out there that feel so desperate/numb/powerless, that feel unseen and unheard, and can't see another way.. I want them to know I'm aware. I have been there. I see them. Sometimes that's all it takes.
Making this video was a very emotional experience for me, as was writing this song. I have a life inside of me, and I want her or him to know that I will accept him or her with open and loving and welcoming arms. And though I will prepare this little munchkin for a sometimes cruel world, I will also equip this kid to see all the beauty in it as well. There are good people in this world that are open-minded, and loving. There are those that accept us with all of our flaws. I do that with my fans/friends, and I will do that with my child, whoever they decide to be."
And, I was never a cutter but I did try to commit suicide when I was 14 years old. Because of alot of what she talks about in the song..."Made a wrong turn Once or twice Dug my way out Blood and fire Bad decisions That’s alright Welcome to my silly life Mistreated, misplaced, missundaztood Miss “no way it’s all good” It didn’t slow me down Mistaken Always second guessing Underestimated Look, I’m still around"
I was mistreated, misplaced, and definitely misunderstood growing up even into my life now. But, once I really started living my life in a positive way, doing affirmations and telling myself that I was beautiful and smart and talented, it all started to change around for me. I started accepting me for the way that I am. And, honestly, I love P!NK because shes an inspiration to me and even to my girls. The song "Stupid Girls" is something that I sing around the house sometimes and when I talk to my girls, I honestly tell them not to be like the "stupid girls" out there, trying to become what everyone ELSE is trying to be. I tell them to be the ones to strive to be the "girl president" not to be the girls that use their looks to "drop names" and all that. Pink is truly an inspiration.
"Im so glad that Ill never fit in, thatll never be me, outcasts and girls with ambition, THATS WHAT I WANNA SEE"
I LOVE that line and its totally me. Ive never fit in and will continue to be myself and the way that I WANT to be, not what OTHERS want me to be.
