Song: Bully
Artist: Three Days Grace
Album: Life Starts Now
Three Days Grace is a Canadian rock band based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
I bought Three Days Grace's latest album Life Starts Now as a total impulse buy at a record store while I was out of town. I had songs off both of their previous albums on my iPod, which I liked alot but I hadn't listened to in awhile. When I played the CD I liked almost every song and it reminded me how much I like Three Days Grace and I started listening to their previous albums more too. A few tracks on Life Starts Now stood out to me, one of them was Bully. The song tells of kids who are being bullied. The song starts with the sounds of a schoolyard fight and and quickly moves into the hardrock music Three Days Grace is known for, then Adam Gontier starts singing the lyrics which tell a story of two people being bullied one male and one female. But the way the lyrics are written the song could be about almost anyone who is being bullied. The song speaks out against bullying and paints a picture of what bullies do to their victims mentally and emotionally. Adam Gontier, the lead singer of Three Days Grace, said in an interview that he was on both sides, at one point a bully, at one point bullied, and that people don't always realize how much what they say hurts other people. In short I love the song and the message within the song.
"Bully"
He wakes up haunted
With voices in his head
Nobody knows it but today
He won't go unnoticed
He can't forget
Can't forgive
For what they said
He's never been
So hurt but
Today the screaming
Is over
Blame the family
Blame the bully
Blame it on me
Maybe he needed to be wanted
Blame the family
Blame the bully
Blame it on me
Maybe he needed to be wanted
She takes the long way home
Fighting her emotions
She's a loner but tonight
She won't go unnoticed
If she can't remember when
She loses her temper
Nobody knows her but tonight
The silence is over
Blame the family
Blame the bully
Blame it on me
Maybe she needed to be wanted
Blame the family
Blame the bully
Blame it on me
Maybe she needed to be wanted
Blame the family
Blame the bully
Blame it on me
Maybe they needed to be wanted
Blame the family
Blame the bully
Blame it on me
Maybe they needed
To be wanted
