How about a Mariah-flavoured Japanese R&B song for the trip? Taken from her second studio album, “Sunglasses” is a track about someone that pretends to be strong but in reality is someone hiding her true cowardly-self and wears a pair of sunglasses to hide the tears falling from her eyes. But why is she crying? Because she isn’t who she taught she was and is completely the opposite of what she wanted to be as a person.
Outkast
"Roses" Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2003)
An anthem for those who are victims from a love that wasn’t really meant to be, Andre 3000 drags a girl named Caroline that despite almost everyone saying positive things about her and her personality, she is in fact a bitch who thinks that is better than everyone else [Probably why we have the ‘roses really smell like poo-poo-oo’’ line because this bitch is not “mighty fine” as the guys around her say that she is .] It’s also the best Prince-song that he has never recorded, wrote or produced.
The xx
"Angels” Coexist (2012)
There not much mystery behind this one, It’s a love song that describes three distinct phases of falling in love with someone else and how much the things get between during the relationship and how “angelical” they fell as they fell in love.

Oh. My. God. Becky, did you see Sarah's new Instagram pic? She got these new Ray-Bans and they're so cool
for the summer. I just can't even deal right now. Like, they've got the pink frames and the rose tint and everything!
I'm so jelly. I might ask daddy to buy me some for my birthday. I don't care if my birthday was in July. Not the same
ones obviously, ew. Sarah's such a bitch. When I get them, they'll never come off. Anyway, gotz to go, ily bitch!
Cya in Math tomorrow, kill me now.
Fucking slut, you haven't talked to me in, like, a week. I got a D on the test, how about you? Oh, you saw my Twitpic?
I know, they're so much better than Sarah's. But now she's got herself a Gucci handbag, her dad is so abusing her
and giving her all of these gifts just to shut her up. You were thinking it! Anyway, Gucci is basic as hell and so 2009
or something ancient. I don't need that. I got a Kardashian Kollection handbag anyway. It has a secret compartment
that fits my iPhone perfectly!
FML my dad is such a dick. He found out that I lost my virginity to Joshua last Schoolies and is mad as hell and
grounded me for a month. I stole his new girlfriend's iPad though which is how I'm sending this message. I got these
really cute new shoes, what do you think? I sent it in a Snapchat. So I was thinking of sneaking out this weekend and
going to Sarah's party. I really wanna get high again, she's got weed and I think she even has some ice and ecstasy!
You in bitch? I wanna get so fucked!

��: Lana Del Rey - "Without You" Traits: Nervous, Timid, Quiet, Respectful.
The mouse has a small, possibly wavering voice. It is small and quiet, but has big feelings as it beckons for love. The mouse stutters as it wants to be seen and heard, but is too timid to make its presence known. The mouse has longing, respect, and deep emotional need for companionship.
"Hello, hello, can you hear me? / I can be your china-doll, if you'd like to see me fall"
��: Rihanna - "Bitch Better Have My Money" Traits: Bold, Independent, Confident, Docile.
The cat is self-assured, without needing the opinions of others before carrying its actions. It is strong, confident, and able to lead its own life, demanding what it wants when it wants. Yet at the same time it suffers from being docile, complacent, only exercising its power when it feels like doing so.
"Don't act like you forgot / I call the shots shots shots"
��: Drake - "Take Care" Traits: Strong, Authoritative, Friendly, Obsequious.
The dog is strong physically and mentally, and uses that strength to exercise its authoritative power. However, the dog is also a people (and animal)-pleaser and isn't one to create a mess of things. It holds its responsibility dearly which may hold back its true potential.

THE DILEMMA
We're at the crossroads my dear
Where do we go from here?
Maybe you won't go, maybe you'll stay
Oh, I know I'm gonna miss you either way...
At this point, the end seems inevitable. As he continues to slip farther away, you suddenly realize that a relationship is two-sided; while he may choose to walk away, you too have your choices. On one shoulder an angel encourages a peaceful resolution. But the devil on your other shoulder pushes you towards chaos. Which voice do you listen to?
WHEN YOU LISTEN
TO THE ANGEL
I'm not waitin' around for a man to save me
Don't depend on a guy to validate me
I don't need to be anyone's baby
No, I don't need another half to make me whole
The angel on your right shoulder tells you to let him go. It reminds you that you might be sad at first, but you'll be fine without him. So you walk away, and soon enough you're single and happy, booty-poppin' in the club and not worrying about what he's doing, or wondering who will fill the space he left.
WHEN YOU LISTEN
TO THE DEVIL
Never would've loaded up a .44
And put myself behind a jailhouse door if it hadn't been for love...
Four cold walls, against my will
At least I know he's lying still.
The devil on your left shoulder tells you to take action. It reminds you that you've given your best years to this man, that you are owed his devotion. So when he still decides to walk away, there's only one way you can guarantee he won't give his love to someone else, someone less deserving.

Serving up the #TruthTea Morning, Noon, and Night since 2011!
Friday, August 14th, 2015 • Today's weather is being served up by meteorologist Stacy Layne Bryant Matthews Lattisaw Q from Backswamp, North Carolina, henny.Yes gawd, henny, I am awake and well on this fine morning here in the great Backswamp. We have a wide variety of weather in store for you today, but don't put away that #ComfortableCouture just yet, because the entire day won't be bad.
From this morning until about 2PM we will see beautiful clear skies with the warm sun beating down upon us henny, so put down that convertible top and enjoy the breeze on your way to Wal*Mart.
The skies don't remain clear all day, henny. High pressure in the atmosphere is pushing a powerful rainstorm our way around 2:30PM, so make sure to throw on some waterproof Lib Bloss by Alexis Mateo and grab your umbrella.
Unfortunately, things don't get any better this evening, so those of you planning to get High By The Beach better cancel those plans henny, because Ms. Thunderstorm is about to come through!
That's all for your weather report, henny. Up next we take a look at the #PrayForR8 Campaign, find out where the #BornBraveBus is headed to next, and pay a visit to the iconic Anime Club!
It's a stereotype that Cancers are overly-emotional, sensitive people. Melanie Martinez released her debut album this week, and her alter ego, Cry Baby, fits the description of a Cancer which is basically an emotional wreck
"Something's turning the handle to that faucet in your eyes"
"They're pouring out where everyone can see"
"Those cry baby tears keep coming back again"

PISCES: CARIBOU - SECOND CHANCE
Quote:
Pisces are typically described as the dreamers of the zodiacs. They're usually daydreaming or doing something creative, and they are always pretty relaxed. Caribou and Jessy Lanza's track "Second Chance" blends the dreaminess and creativity of a Pisces person as well as their slight romantic side.
"My love's for you, boy you know that it's all for real"
"Just tell me if you want my love"
"I'm just waiting for the moment"

SCORPIO: MEG MYERS - DESIRE
Quote:
Scorpios are stereotyped as people who are sex addicts and violent. Myers' provocative lyrics, aggressive vocals, and rock-influenced production suit the Scorpio cliche perfectly.
"I wanna feel you, I want it all"
"I'm gonna kill you, I'm gonna lay you in the ground"
"I wanna **** you, I wanna feel you in my bones"

City Life
*Taylor Nation has me on this one - here is a live version
Living in the City is a double-edged sword; you have all of your opportunities ahead of you, but with your privacy taken away. All the shops, busy streets, places to eat—it's all someone can wish for. Bright lights that make your heart glow, and the sounds of a nation progressing, living in a big city like New York or Paris, It really feels like you are in the future, and have everything in front of you. It's a place where you really can do ANYTHING you want. The big city has one of the most open-minded communities, everyone is worried about themselves and not if you are a different skin tone or sexuality or even religion. "Welcome To New York" perfectly fits what I am talking about. When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors
Took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer
Everybody here was someone else before
And you can want who you want
Boys and boys and
Girls and girls
It's a place to start a career, a relationship, and a new life.
Country Life
Oh, the sweet country life. I have had enough vacations in the country to say it is truly the most pleasant and peaceful lifestyle in the world. Not a single person bugs you, unless the people you want around you. You have your family, your friends, your animals and that's it, but then again, that's all you need. In the country you don't have to worry about fake friends, drama, and all of that stuff. It's just you worrying about your family and yourself. This song is a great example of how peaceful and enjoying it is to relax in the country. Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It's the simple things in life, like when and where
We didn't have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair
It really is the simplest things in life that are the most memorable and enjoyable, and that's all that the country life is about: simplicity.
Tropic Life
Freedom and fun: that's what I would call living in the Tropics. Places like this are always assumed as vacation spots, or places of fun, and they are! Being able to go on the beach all day and party like it's hot is a dream for all party people in the world. Feeling free and having a great time... Why wouldn't you want to live in the tropics? Although many of the locals living in the tropics may be in poverty, they enjoy the amazing gift they have everyday: being by the beach and enjoying the sun. I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that
I've got no one to blame
Just having fun, enjoying the sun, smiling; that is what tropic life speaks to me.
Kitt
feminist noun
A person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes.

"We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller." I'm all for feminism, but women of color need to be celebrated and empowered more often. Thus, the overall theme of this trinity has an intersectional feminism focus—all topics of female equality and celebration, just represented with a side of melanin. Monáe confronts some of the issues she faces as a woman of colour – who doesn’t pander to certain race & gender stereotypes – head on and takes us back to the very grassroots concerns of feminism and this time not just at the virtue of men, but by the hand of society and its various religions.

"You should aim to be successful but not too successful, otherwise you will threaten the man." The video for this got a lot of backlash for misogyny and being anti-feminist, but I love the contrast and plot twist concept. The seven-minute video, co-directed by Rihanna herself, is based on an accountant whom she said screwed her over financially. The wife of her accountant is kidnapped and tortured, and then when he still doesn’t pay what he owes her, presumably kills him with one of an arsenal of machete-style weapons. In any event, she ends up lying in a chestful of cash, covered in blood and vengefully satisfied. Rihanna is a grown woman who makes life and career choices for herself with the expectation and understanding that she is as free to do that as her male peers are. How is that not feminist? #BanBossy hashtag taken from this campaign.
Mine was more than a food chain, it was also supposed to be like the cat aspires to be like the mouse (more energetic and passionate), the dog aspires to be like the cat (more assertive and carefree) and the mouse aspires to be like the dog (more powerful and strong). #Artpop
I love a lot of these entries, they're all really creative! I see BBHMM was used twice. :eyes:
Sorry for being late and it won't happen again from here on but I could give two ***** if I'm docked for using a song someone else has. I decided on it and found it fitting before skimming the entries. I had a lot of fun with this challenge and it resulted in my favorite entry produced thus far so I wouldn't mind going home on that point.
