Third Eye

I love Florence + the machine's new album.

I especially like the way how she uses words in her lyrics. It is like the way poetry but with haunting background music. In none of her lyrics are swearing. There are some songs, that the whole way through the song it is like ' B**** N*****.'

I don't really like that some of the new videos contain nudity because before, what I respected most about Florence was that she did not have to take of her clothes to get fans. Like she did not have to go on stage half naked. It's funny because most of her performances on stage, she is wearing like so much clothes. Like a long dress or something.

Anyway, that is not even my point / or what I want to talk about in this post.

She has this song called Third eye.

One of my favorite lines is that 'you deserve what you are given.'

I did not really get it at first. As in, sometimes people want more than what they are given. Also, I thought, does it mean that we deserve all the pain and hurt that the world may inflict? (I guess, actually now thinking about it, it does on some level.)

As I listened to the song more, I sort of got the point more. The song is about / to a person who does not think that they deserve: happiness, love, friendship and to be treated well. A person who considers themselves not worthy to receive the good of the world. Perhaps because they are too stuck resenting themselves.
