         <description><![CDATA[<div>Bloom - The Paper Kites (https://play.spotify.com/track/4M4ErxvoFRhs8fNAlCEq3f)<br>This is a new discovery for me, but I find myself listening to it a lot. I first listened to it from my Spotify Discover playlist while I was staying in a hospital in China. It soothed my homesickness, since I was away from all the people I love in a hospital in a foreign land. And it was just that upsetting. I remember crying when I listened to it, ahah.<br><br>This song is straightforward. It's about the people you love. It's summery, it's innocent, it's sweet. It speaks a lot to my style as a writer in its simplicity. It definitely reminds me of one of my favourite books "Mercury Under My Tongue" by Sylvain Trudel. "Can I be close to you?", they ask, implying just a gentle, hopeful request. It's a majority of the song, and probably a majority of the songwriter's thoughts. It's&nbsp; adorable, and made me miss home a lot.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>song influences:<br>1. pretty u - seventeen</div><div>a catchy and pleasant song to listen to, pretty u is a song about having a crush on someone. though it may seem like a typical romance song, the lyrics are so cute and really expresses what it's like to be pining over someone. such lyrics are: "i want to pick and gather all the pretty words for you" and, "i will confess what has been on the tip of my tongue tomorrow; you are pretty"</div><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5juKw-mnGw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5juKw-mnGw</a> <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8FJ7sXcJlQ&amp;list=PLzrpApMMMxiLkj8dNLnOZcsjDV_ux8PTy&amp;index=5">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8FJ7sXcJlQ</a> (stan talent stan seventeen)</div><div>2. somebody else - the 1975<br>a song that is both calming to listen yet something i can relate to. there has been times where i felt like i didn't exactly like someone, yet i really disliked the idea of them being with anyone else. <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsc12dNCJME">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsc12dNCJME</a></div><div>3. doubt - twenty one pilots<br>another #relatable song— a song that speaks about anxiety (and portrays it really, really well). with an addictive beat, the lyrics hit me hard every single time i listen to it.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEiVnNNpJLA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEiVnNNpJLA</a><br><br>how to support the music industry:<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Top 3 Songs.<br>1. Superwoman - Karyn White<br>- All time favourite. This song is about a woman trying to be strong after her man left her. She did so so much to her man just because she loves her. But her man don't apperciate anything from her. Every women have to be apperciate and respect.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08CqZaP0EuA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08CqZaP0EuA</a><br>2.

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>The top 3 songs that I frequently listened to are:-</strong><br>1) Make Me Feel Your Love- Adele<br>- This song reminds me that our parents had sacrificed a lot for us when raising us. They always try to give the best to us as they can. They worked hard just to give us the best living conditions, enjoy what we want and study in the top university. I could say that I'll be nothing in this world without them.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0put0_a--Ng"><br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0put0_a--Ng</a><br>.<br><strong>I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,<br>And I'd go crawling down the avenue.<br>No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do<br>To make you feel my love.<br><br>The storms are raging on the rolling sea<br>And on the highway of regret.<br>The winds of change are blowing wild and free,<br>You ain't seen nothing like me yet.<br><br>I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.<br>Nothing that I wouldn't do.<br>Go to the ends of the Earth for you,<br>To make you feel my love<br>To make you feel my love<br>^ </strong>The line<strong> " Go to the ends of the earth for you" </strong>really reflect on how my parents willing to do for me. They always tried their best to give me the best of all. I really appreciate what they've done for me so so much. I really love them.<strong><br></strong><br>2) Count On Me- Bruno Mars<br>- This song is on my playlist a very long time ago but I still play it everytime I was in the car. This song reminds me that I have lots of friends to count on. I have a childhood friend which is my neighbour I knew her since we are a baby. Another friend I had known him for 12 years till now we are still best friends we studied in the same primary school secondary school and even now college is the same. Whenever I have problems, they always 24/7 ready to be my listener.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JNtAtGGNRU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JNtAtGGNRU</a><br><br>3) See You Again- Wiz Khalifa &amp; Charlie Puth<br>- This song reminds me my best friend who had gone to England to further her studies. I missed her a lot because she used to be my listener, my hangout partners and the one I can be crazy with. We still chat as always but I still prefer to talk to her face-to-face. She might or might not be back after 5 years so I really don't know when I can see her again.<br>- This song also reminds me of my grandmother, I missed her a lot. She had passed away when I'm only 2. I had a lot of memories with her, she used to sew nice clothes and comfy blankets for me. She sewed a lot of blankets for me in different sizes for me when I grow up from baby size till now what I am. The blankets that she sewed for I still using it until now and I always tried to keep them properly.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgKAFK5djSk">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgKAFK5djSk</a><br><br><strong>How can we support the music industry further?<br></strong>- I think that we should not download music illegally. We can subscribe or pay for the music in iTunes or pay for the premium in Spotify. I think that we can also purchase the album of our favourite singer in shops like Speedy, I think the price is not that over priced.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>top 3 songs-<br>1. try- Colbie Caillat <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhM3uOXJUqU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhM3uOXJUqU</a><br>try- this song definitely has been a song I play on repeat since the lyrics are kind of relatable because as the first and second verse says</div><div>" Put your makeup on</div><div>Get your nails done</div><div>Curl your hair</div><div>Run the extra mile</div><div>Keep it slim</div><div>So they like you. Do they like you?</div><div>Get your sexy on</div><div>Don't be shy, girl</div><div>Take it off</div><div>This is what you want, to belong</div><div>So they like you. Do you like you?”</div><div>in today society people tend to judge on how you look and I feel insecure all the time and as I listen to this song the chorus says</div><div>"You don't have to try so hard</div><div>You don't have to give it all away</div><div>You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up</div><div>You don't have to change a single thing</div><div><br></div><div>You don't have to try, try, try, try-i-i</div><div>You don't have to try, try, try, try-i-i</div><div>You don't have to try, try, try, try-i-i</div><div>You don't have to try</div><div>Yoooou don't have to try”</div><div>the chorus kind of tells me that it's okay not to be perfect. it okay to have flaws and you don’t have to change. you just need to accept your flaws and start loving yourself.</div><div><br>2. I still love you - TheOvertunes<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21PdGPP_zxw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21PdGPP_zxw</a><br>this song is actually an out of the movie “ Cek Toko Sebelah" and it was sung by an Indonesian band. the first time I hear this song I immediately fell in love because the lyric is just so touching. the melody of the song and the lyric can make someone cry just by listening.&nbsp; <br><br>3. fake love - Drake<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKp6PdvGMbk">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKp6PdvGMb</a><br> As the lyric says "fake people showing fake love to me straight up to my face."<br>as I grow up I encounter different people showing fake love to me. example fake friends who backstab and talk about you behind your back.&nbsp;<br><br>second question<br>I think we need to stop downloading songs illegally at least now there's Spotify.<br>we can support them by voting them in competition if they join any.<br><br><br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>My top 3 songs:<br><br>1. Ivy by Frank Ocean<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLNAYJTNEXs">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLNAYJTNEXs</a><br><br>2. Papaoutai by Stromae<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiKj0Z_Xnjc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiKj0Z_Xnjc</a><br><br>3. Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8AWFf7EAc4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8AWFf7EAc4</a><br><br><br>Lyrical Analysis - Papaoutai <br><br>'Papaoutai' is a song about the absence of a father. The title itself is a colloquialism of “<em>Papa où t'es?</em>”, meaning <em>"Father, where are you?"</em>  <br><br><strong><em>Dites-moi d'où il vient, <br>enfin je saurais où je vais<br></em></strong><em>Tell me where he comes from, <br>then I know where I will be going<br></em><strong><em><br>Ah sacré papa,<br>dis moi où es-tu caché<br></em></strong><em>Ah sacred papa.<br>tell me where you are hiding<br><br></em>Growing up without a father naturally made me hungry for every little bit of information I could get about him. I always asked about him, faced only with my mother's reluctance, and dreamt of seeking him out; still to this day I can count the number of times we have talked on one hand. <br><br><strong><em><br>Où t'es, papaoutai?<br>Où t'es, papaoutai?<br>Où t'es, papaoutai?<br>Où t'es<br>Où t'es<br>Papaoutai?</em></strong><em><br>Where are you, father where are you?<br>Where are you, father where are you?<br>Where are you, father where are you?<br>Where are you<br>Where are you<br>Father, where are you?<br><br></em>This is the question that I've asked repeatedly throughout my youth. The repetition of the same line is reminiscent of the moments in my life filled with hopeless, desperate queries. <br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My top 3 favourite songs<br><br>1) Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXRviuL6vMY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXRviuL6vMY</a><br><br>The reason why I choose this song as my #1 is probably cause it relates to me and mostly everyone around us. Their lyrics can hit some of us hard, depending on who the person is. <br><br>In particular, the verse of the song explains a few factors already.<br>"I wish I found some better sounds no one’s ever heard<br>I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words<br>I wish I found some chords in an order that is new<br>I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang<br>I was told when I get older all my fears would shrink<br>But now I’m insecure and I care what people think"<br><br>This verse tells us on how all of us are seeking something new and not trying to copy others. We are afraid of being different sometimes, we wanna fit in and also when they mention " When I get older all my fears would shrink, but now I'm insecure and I care what people think" tells us that we become fearless but unfortunately we still care about what society thinks of us even though we were wanna over calm it.<br><br>The chorus on the other hand is self-explanatory as we just wanna turn back time when we were stress free.<br><br>"Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days<br>When our momma sang us to sleep but now we’re stressed out<br>Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days<br>When our momma sang us to sleep but now we’re stressed out"<br><br>The last part of the song is a sudden realisation of what we truly need in life. It tells us to wake up from our dreams and live up to the current reality<br><br>"Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny<br>We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money<br>Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny<br>We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money<br>We used to play pretend, give each other different names<br>We would build a rocket ship and then we’d fly it far away<br>Used to dream of outer space but now they’re laughing at our face<br>Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money""<br><br><br><br>2) Afraid by The Neighbourhood<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LILL0AV0938">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LILL0AV0938</a><br><br>This song generally represents fear within me at times. I do listen to The Neighbourhood during my down time like late nights when I wanna unwind. The lyrics in this song are a bit explicit but it makes sense.<br><br>This is the pre-chorus as it shows hate, anger, emotion when it comes to feelings towards someone.&nbsp; It says we want a release from someone or something wanting to just finally let go of the rope.<br>"You’re too mean, I don’t like you, f*ck you anyway<br>You make me wanna scream at the top of my lungs<br>It hurts but I won’t fight you<br>You suck anyway<br>You make me wanna die, right when I"<br><br>The chorus on the other hand, shows us the fear if we let go of that particular person, we can be replaced easily. As how almost everything is easily replaceable. It feels as if there's no genuine feelings towards one another.<br>"When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might take my place <em>[x3]</em><br>When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might end up being me"<br><br>The second verse is telling us to fight the negativity while we can. Maybe replace the someone with someone else and forget abot them cause they can be very irelevant in your lives.<br>"Keep on dreaming, don’t stop breathing, fight those demons<br>Sell your soul, not your whole self<br>If they see it when you’re sleeping, make them leave it"<br><br>3) Paradise City by Guns N' Roses<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbm6GXllBiw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbm6GXllBiw</a><br><br>This I would consider as a classic and it just hypes you up. The amount of energy you can get from listening to this song is just amazing hahahaha.<br><br>The chorus just describes sense of freedom and wanting to have fun<br>"Take me down<br>To the paradise city<br>Where the grass is green<br>And the girls are pretty<br>Oh, won't you please take me home<br>Take me down<br>To the paradise city<br>Where the grass is green<br>And the girls are pretty<br>Take me home<br><br><br>Second Question<br><br>If most of us are unwilling to pay for music, our inner typical Malaysian channels in as we all are suckers for things that are FREE. Event organisations can invite them to perform and it gives the indie singers more popularity as it can create a bigger fan base for them.<br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My top 3 songs-<br><br>1)Alarm by Anne Marie<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3RXHOTMmLw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3RXHOTMmLw</a><br>This song is about woman who involved romantically in a narcissist relationship. She has experience and been through his 'alarm behaviour' before in the past. She has left the relationship quite many times before just to give him another chance to change his behaviour. When the evidence of him is just as same as before, she's decided just to leave him at the last times because she knows that during their relationship, she always get the message or 'alarm' in her head that she has been cheated since their first relationship. <br><br>2) I Got You by Bebe Rexha<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEJuoEs1UxY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEJuoEs1UxY</a><br>I got you" is a promise of selfless love and devotion to care for your needs, understand you, and comfort you when you're hurt. Even when you think you can handle it alone, someone it there to make sure you are cared for. It's a reminder that you have friend, one who already knows what you need and is asking to open up and receive the care and comfort being offered. <br><br>3) Empire by Shakira <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QapfTGTXbxc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QapfTGTXbxc</a><br>About a woman preceived as chase when about to commit to a mortal relationship she couldn't she was already tainted by darkness and her own perverted lust she is a witch her statement is she would rather burn and in hell than to commit to another lie.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br><strong>Top 3 Songs</strong>&nbsp;</div><blockquote>1. Wings - Macklemore</blockquote><div>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51tSQ10PedE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51tSQ10PedE</a><br>This lyrics of this song are super meaningful. He talks about how cruel society has become and how the only thing people care about is being rich and popular. Basically about about how the youth of today is nothing but materialistic. <br>"<a href="https://genius.com/Macklemore-and-ryan-lewis-wings-lyrics#note-1605079">What I wore, this is the source of my youth</a><br><a href="https://genius.com/Macklemore-and-ryan-lewis-wings-lyrics#note-1605081">This dream that they sold to you<br>For a hundred dollars and some change<br>Consumption is in the veins</a>"<br><br></div><blockquote>2. Losin' control - Russ&nbsp;</blockquote><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdGIZjVWrzY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdGIZjVWrzY</a><br>This is one of my favourite songs of all time. Russ wrote this song about his ex who he treated really bad even though she was crazy in love with him and how him treating her like that affected all her other relationships. This song basically tells us how hard it is to trust someone after you have been betrayed by someone you love.&nbsp;</div><blockquote><br>Angels - Khalid&nbsp;</blockquote><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2CP7DoECnc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2CP7DoECnc</a><br>Khalid talks about the image of angels and how the angels helped him get through his despair. He says now that he knows they are there he feels strength and is confident they will help him find "better days"&nbsp;</div><div><strong><br>How can we support the music industry further? </strong></div><div>I do not download my music illegally so technically I'm already supporting the music industry. But for those who aren't willing to pay ;) i suppose they could support the music industry by going to concerts. <br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Good for You - Eric Nam<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oj19r9A67c">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oj19r9A67c</a><br>This is my go-to song when I'm down or when I feel alone. "And I know you’ve felt so alone before. But I’m here to take you as you are yeah", this really speaks to me. Especially "I'm here to take you as you are". There will always be people judging in school or in work or even among family members. I have been through a tough high school life where my schoolmates like to judge people. I had to always be someone I'm not to fit in or not be judged at. One day, a girl came to me and played me this song. She told me not be someone I'm not and just be yourself. After that, we became best friends and she made my high school life<br>more fun.<br><br>2. Downpour - I.O.I<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AADHVsit4A">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AADHVsit4A</a><br>This song means a lot to me. When my best friend had to leave for further studies in the states, this song coincidentally was released. The lyrics were just so relatable. "I’m getting all wet right now. I don’t even have the strength to open an umbrella. But we know, Let me just cry for a moment. As I lean on the rain, So you won’t see our sad tears". She was my best friend since birth, so she means a lot to me. The moment she left me, tears starting pouring. Although now I'm okay, but i still miss her. In the beginning, i would cry in the shower so that no one would know. LOL. But this song is really helpful when you feel like crying.&nbsp; <br><br>3. Count on Me - Bruno Mars<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-OxRox4Wvk">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-OxRox4Wvk</a><br>Count on me has always been on my playlists since the start of my high school. "You can count on me like 1, 2, 3, I'll be there". When i need someone to be there for me but no one is there this part of the lyrics really spoke to me. This song is just simply about someone being their when you need he/she.<br><br><br>For me, I'll go their concerts and show my love for them. Also people should really support them by buying their albums. Artiste takes a lot of time and effort to produce a good album. The least we can do to support them is to buy their albums so that they know there are people supporting them.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For me, money is a heated topic within the music industry. People should buy their favorite artist's album to shows support and not just saying with mouth but no action with it. Just my opinion, while you're at a concert, buy the T-shirt or poster and more. Merchandise that u bought would help a lot for the artist. Artist earn more, he happy. He happy, we happy. We happy, everyone happy. </div>]]></description>

the songs about two unsure lovers that have hurt each other in the past and not be able to express them in words to each other.</pre><div>2. Spice Girls - Wannabe <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJLIiF15wjQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJLIiF15wjQ</a><br>i have been listening to this song ever since chicken little was released. Its a song that i wanna dance to on my wedding day with my bridesmaid to show how we got through life together and stuck with each other till the very end. <br><br>3.Gimme Hope Joanna <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kPZ_5JCAWs">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kPZ_5JCAWs</a>&nbsp;<br>this song was written by Eddy Grant as a tribute to the great Nelson Mandela, who has fought against the apartheid, which was a policy that separated people by race.<br><br>Little did you know was tweeted by a lose friend of mine that i haven't kept in contact with for a very long time. The moment i heard it, tears just flowed as i finally could understand how much of pain she was going through and i wasn't able to be there for her when she needed me the most. Both singers has poured their souls and emotions into the words they sang. And the phase that caught my attention was ' all my mistakes are slowly drowning me' indicated that she finally realized her mistakes. the lyrics below explains how emotional and how much of passion the both singers had put into the music.<br><br><br></div><div>How can we support the music industry further ?&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;i think that if that the people in charge of the music industry should lower the price so that society would be able to purchase the musics. we can also raise awareness by having a carnival or music festivals to gain societies knowledge about music&nbsp;<br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Top 3 songs: <br>Mrs potato head (Melanie Martinez)<br><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8qLqbC7BifU">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8qLqbC7BifU</a><br>Mrs potato head gives me solace whenever my eating disorder habits start to play up, when my body dysmorphia starts getting out of hand or when I'm feeling shitty about my outer appearance. <br><br>Moon river (Audrey Hepburn)<br><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uirBWk-qd9A">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uirBWk-qd9A</a><br>This song by Audrey Hepburn from "breakfast at Tiffany's is one of the most calming pieces of music I've come across, right from the melod to Audrey's soothing voice to the so very relatable lyrics, this song is a go to for me whenever I'm feeling the blues. I also absolutely love the movie and relate to the protagonist on so many levels and so it earns extra brownie points.<br><br>Cry baby (Melanie Martinez)<br><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O87lzhoexyA">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O87lzhoexyA</a><br>Cry baby's whole album by Melanie Martinez is somewhat like a personal diary that I haven't written but yet still tells my story completely. Whenever I feel like a misfit, a weirdo or when my mental health is having a tantrum day and I feel down in the dumps I listen to the whole album (mainly cry baby the main title track) so I don't feel so alone and know that there are other people just like me&nbsp;<br><br><br></div><div>Lyrical analysis:&nbsp;</div><div>Mrs potato head is a song about society's standards of outwardly appearances and the pressure it puts on girls and the impact of it all. The song tells the story of a fictional character "Mrs potato head" and her pursuit for beauty in order to please society, shush her own demons and please her "Mr potato head".<br><strong><br>If you weren't born with it<br>You can buy a couple ornaments<br>Just be sure to read the warning, kids<br>'Cause pretty soon you'll be bored of it, ha-ha<br>Sexual, hey girl if you wanna feel sexual<br>You can always call up a professional<br>They stick pins in you like a vegetable<br></strong>This paragraph talks about how girls who aren't to happy with their outwardly appearances choose to resort to plastic surgery and go under the painful procedure of going under the knife, being treated like a "vegetable" and how they may end up getting "bored" of or regretting their choices later on.<br><strong><br>Kids forever, kids forever<br>Baby soft skin turns into leather<br>Don't be dramatic, it's only some plastic<br>No one will love you if you're unattractive<br></strong>These lines talk about how young women who believe they aren't "attractive" enough go to drastic measures to look better in the hopes of being loved, it shows how society has taught us how we are unlovable if we aren't attractive.<br><strong><br>Oh, Mrs. Potato Head, tell me, is it true that pain is beauty?<br>Does a new face come with a warranty?<br>Will a pretty face make it better?<br>Oh, Mr. Potato Head, tell me<br>How did you afford her surgery?<br>Do you swear you'll stay forever?<br>Even if her face don't stay together<br></strong>This paragraph shows the conflict that girls face , the questions, doubts and fears as to whether a pretty face will really help them be happier and seek love and whether if it all vanishes if what they gained will be lost again.<strong><br><br>If you want a little more confidence<br>Potatoes turn to french fries, yeah it's common sense<br>All you need's a couple more condiments<br>And a hundred thousand dollars for some compliments<br></strong>These lines show how one can gain false confidence by transforming themselves with a few more additions or "condiments" and a lot of money to be able to get some "compliments"<br><strong><br>It's such a waste<br>When little girls grow into their mother's face<br>But little girls are learning how to cut and paste<br>And pucker up their lips until they suffocate<br></strong>These lines portray how girls who grow to look like their mothers somehow end up hating themselves and how the beauty they inherited goes to waste, and how they instead rely on cutting and pasting features and body parts and put themselves through pain just to feel beautiful.<br><br><br></div>]]></description>
