Kesha's Praying: Song Analysis

Improved Essays
I am a silent person. I keep everything to myself. Which isn’t different from anyone else. Most people should know how it feel to suffer in silence. How it feel to accept what happen and to let it go; like the fact that the moment which felt like a perfect fairytale is gone. Then learning for yourself it was never a fairytale but another lesson to wake up it isn’t real. What helped me out listening to Kesha new song called “Praying” and what I consider my theme song.

Before anything else the situation was never serious except for me it was. I had to let go of something mentally and it was hard because that particular situation never happen to me before. It took me awhile to get over it until I heard Kesha song “Praying”, it made the process of getting over it easier.

Life is short, forgive but never forget. Change from the past and learn to grow up. Kesha sings about someone who made her feel pain. Some lyrics from the song “I hope you are somewhere praying, I hope your soul is changing”, even though someone made her feel hurt; she still want the other person to grow up. I feel the same way, I easily forgive so I wouldn’t feel anything but I hope the other person can understand we both need to learn from the problem not just one or the other. In the end she let go of the pain by forgiving and building trust in herself to keep fighting. Being prepared for life lesson because they always show up when it is least expected and a quote by Chavela Vargas is a perfect way of saying what kesha means to say in her song, “You’re gonna be happy” said life, “but first i’ll make you strong.”

Kesha probably had the same situation as me that someone showed up messed up our hearts and made us feel heartache. The song screams with the same understanding of my past situation for me to now feel nothing but
