to think 'RIP to the girl you used to see, her days are over' are inappropriate song lyrics!

I just don't like this threatening language and just not the type of thing I want going round in my head! Don't know who sings it!

I don't know what song you refer to, but it just sounds a bit sad to me. Is it about growing up and leaving your youth behind perhaps?

2shoes · 26/04/2012 23:00

don't get what is wrong
but don't know the whole song.

It isn't very nice. I hate 'a kiss with a fist is better than none'

how is it "threatening language"???? Confused

Olympia2012 · 26/04/2012 23:03

Threatening?

Olympia2012 · 26/04/2012 23:03

And 'innapropriate' for whom?

BertieBotts · 26/04/2012 23:04

I like that song. I think you're interpreting it wrongly. She's looking back at the person she used to be when she was with her ex and saying those days are gone, I'm not that girl any more.

I think it's quite an empowering sentence when you look at it that way.

2shoes · 26/04/2012 23:04

tbh I don't get all this omg this song is so bad stuff, if you don't like it don't listn.
I don't like a lot of stuff, so I don't listen to it....easy

ThatGhastlyWoman · 26/04/2012 23:05

It's completely shit. This offends me, rather than the lyrics alone. Which are just generically vacuous. Meh.

BertieBotts · 26/04/2012 23:07

Hmm... hadn't seen all of the lyrics together before, I hadn't realised she was supposed to be getting back together with him.

Still, it's not about murdering your crush's ex which is what I think you were implying Grin

phoebebouffet · 26/04/2012 23:24

haha....you're right Bertie I have interpreted it wrongly, because I have heard a girl singing it not a bloke in the link to the video 2shoes put up, I did think it was about murdering the new bloke's ex! Had a quick look on you tube and apparently it's the Rita Ora version I have heard and it's on Radio 1 a lot at the moment my fave radio station in the world ever, so can't really avoid it, am not gonna stop listening to Radio 1 just because of one irritating song.

Quite surprised that out of all the tunes currently charting you picked this one over e.g. Azealia Banks: 212.....which whilst I love the beat has some ridiculously raw lyrics.... The Rita Ora tune is tame and mild in comparison! YABU

Teeb · 27/04/2012 11:59

Ah, is it that line that offends you? Rather than the 'I'll make you call me Daddy, even though you ain't my daughter' line the rapper sings?

NoVeggiesBeforeEggies · 27/04/2012 12:10

Ha! Was just going to say what Teeb said.

That bit is inappropriate!
