Wise Up

I know this post is like ancient, but I was listening to this song and wanted to read other peoples opinions on it. I think this song can apply to so many people about so many things. Yes, a suggestion of alcoholism, and definitely using alcohol for escape, is mentioned in one line but that’s not the whole story at all.

Many people work to get what they want whether it’s fame, marriage, a career, et cetera. They think that this will fill the hole in them but they find that they are just as miserable as they were before, maybe even more so because they don’t have something new to reach for. And so they are stuck in a marriage with an abusive, cruel partner. They have run away and joined the foreign legions and they find that it’s a living hell. Whatever the case, the point is that until they find love, peace and happiness within themselves and stop allowing themselves to be a victim; until they are able to look at themselves objectively and understand the mistakes they are making, address them and correct to them; the misery will never go away. They cannot expect someone or something to fix them. Decisions they make will often harm them until THEY TREAT THEMSELVES LIKE SOMEBODY THEY LOVE. All the bad experiences, all the bad feelings, all of The weaknesses and addictions and all the cruelty will not stop until you wise up.
