They were worried for him because he got mislead by his friends and got into peer pressure. The message he conveys is to not get too carried away with peer pressure and to always apologise to your wrong doings.

Only mentally strong people will be able to keep away from the glamour of “beautiful people”. These people’s lives are entirely made up and inside they are trying to be ‘cool’.

He finds his fathers shot gun and plans a school shooting. The song was released in 2011 off of the band’s debut album “torches” and received positive tension online right from the beginning. The band did not expect the song to get so popular in such a short amount of time and especially not to leave as big of a legacy as it has. This song spreads awareness for school shootings all over the world and encourages schools to take action and talk to students who might be showing signs of planning a stunt like a school shooting

  • "Girl On Fire" is the title track and first single from Alicia Keys' fifth studio album. She was just 30 years old, but had already logged over a decade in the industry, having released her debut album, Songs in A Minor, when she was 20. Signed to Clive Davis' mighty J label, she was carefully managed. This song finds her liberated.

    Said the singer: "Before making this record, in some ways I felt like a lion locked in a cage. I felt like a girl misunderstood that no one really knew, I felt like it was time to stop making excuses for any part of my life that I wanted to change. Once I made that choice I became a Girl on Fire, the lion broke free!!"

    The song was made available on iTunes and radio on September 4, 2012. It was her first released on her new label, RCA.
