Journal // 10.22.12

What is going on in this song? Explain the two separate interpretations of the same situation. How is it possible that two people can have such different takes on the same situation? Give an example from you own life. 

in the song, "don't you want me?" there are two different points of view. the guy wants to be with this girl after she left him, and he believes that she owes it to him because he helped her earlier. on the other hand, the girl wants to be on her own and live her own life. two people can have different interpretations of a situation because of their different backgrounds or motives, in which their experiences influence their views. this effect can also be caused by personality. just because two people lived the same events and experiences, doesn't mean that they will see the same things. 

and can I just pick another song? fine.
'Mirrors and Smoke' by Jars Of Clay - here, once again, we have a duet in which two people argue about the meaning and the purpose of love. one person keeps thinking that love isn't all that he thought it would be, but the other is trying to convince him that he sees it all wrong. but that's just how I interpret it.
