(Example by Mrs. Barilla)

In verse one, the line "They can do all they can do, but they can't break unbreakable" helps me because when I am preparing for a game or a race I listen to this song to get in the right mindset. I like to get in a mindset in which I believe I am the best and I am “unbreakable”. Before my ten miler, I was very nervous but after I listened to this song I felt much more confident and prepared for the hard 10 miles ahead of me.

In one a the verses Taylor says "Cause it reminds you of innocence, and it smells like me
You can't get rid of it". I think that this line is really power full and Taylor is almost saying like nomader what you do you cant get rid of the thought of her.

In the very beginning, she says " Find light in the beautiful sea" helps me whenever I am feeling down I like to listen to this song and rember that when you feel down you are always in your own spotlight.

The verse "cause you just feel tired, fell weak and when you feel weak, you feel like you" Makes me think of my mind set when i'm at the end of a run. When I start to cramp or it starts to get sore I ussualy think about these lyrics just to push myself the extra mile.

A line I chose from the song "Scares and Your Beautiful" is "You should know you're beautiful just the way you are, And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart". This line tells you instead of changing who you are, it suggests that the world's narrow beauty standards are what should change. Not only in this line but the whole song empowers you to be confident and be your self not other people. As I listen to the words of this song it makes me feel empowered and confident in the person I am. I can not explain how important this song is to me in my life.

One of my favorite lines from this song is "I was so ahead of the curve that the curve became a sphere." This line is so clever and hits me hard every time. If you think about it, you cant run in a circle with a couple other people and be ahead of one of them, your behind and in front of everyone. I think Taylor is saying she became so ahead of everybody that she ended up falling behind. It reminds me to stay in the present. I think I should definitely worry about my future, but it shouldn't consume me. I also think I shouldn't forget my past and the things that happened because its important to remember those things for safety, memories, and to remember your mistakes so you can learn from them.

My favorite line in "Bad Habit" Is "I bite my tongue, it's a bad habit" means a lot to me because I think that line means that someone is refraining from saying something. This has a bit impact on my life because it gives me courage to speak up for my self

The lyrics I chose are " Now its just too late and we can't go back" because I have made some mistakes in my life that I regret and hearing this gives me closer to those mistakes knowing I can't go back in time.

My favorite part of this song is "Give a little time for the child within you, Don't be afraid to be young and free." These are my favorite lyrics because now, when I look back on the videos of me when I was younger, I start to cry, realizing I have changed so much. I have gone from being sweet to mean and really awkward, and now I don't know how I act because you never know how you'll act until it has already happened. These lyrics have reminded me to still act like a kid before I become a teen and to never stop having a little fun, even if it's childish, because we all have that child inside of us and need to let it out every once in a while.

“You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine just own the night like the fourth of July”

It always lifts my spirits and helps me stay happy with what ever im stuck in at that moment.

"Take a breath and ease my mind"

Whenever im nervous or stressed all i hav to do is take a breath and I'm not nervous anymore.

“There ain't nobody here

Who can cause me pain or raise my fear

'Cause I got only love to share

If you're looking for the truth, I'm proof you'll find it there.”

This song symbolizes how other people’s opinions don't actually define us.
We can avoid having our feelings hurt or becoming fearful if we focus on how we see ourselves and not how others see us. We need to spread kindness in the world. It also helps us be confident in who we are and not change ourselves for a group of people.

"But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win"

We will cross paths with people who may manipulate us and lie to us to get what they want from us.

"urging listeners to seize opportunities, overcome fear, and focus entirely on the moment to succeed"

This shows how you should strive for your dreams, and not stop until you succeed. This song really helps me getting motivated.

“You’ve cleaned up, found Jesus”

These lyrics have a significant meaning to me because it shows that even after being through a rough time you can pick yourself up and receive the help you need. It reminds me of how I got through alot of my own past struggles by seeking and receiving help from those around me.
