What is the message?

Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston

Verse 1:
See it started at the park
Used to chill at the dark
Oh when you took my heart
That's when we fell apart
Coz we both thought
That love lasts forever (lasts forever)
They say we're too young
To get ourselves sprung
Oh we didn't care
We made it very clear
And they also said
That we couldn't last together (last together)

Refrain:
See it's very define, girl
One of a kind
But you mush up my mind
You walk to get declined
Oh Lord...
My baby is driving me crazy

Chorus:
You're way too beautiful girl
That's why it'll never work
You'll have me suicidal, suicidal
When you say it's over
Damn all these beautiful girls
They only wanna do your dirt
They'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When they say it's over




James Blunt's 'You're Beautiful'

Watch the video right to the end and notice what he does at the very end...


'How To Save A Life' - The Frays (soundtrack of 'Grey's Anatomy)

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
[ How To Save A Life lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life




These 3 songs...we learnt in Literature class today.
They all convey one common message......suicide.

Suicide has become so rampant in the world today... especially among teenagers. So much to the extent that it has almost become acceptable to the society.

I don't know about you, but for me personally, attempting suicide is the sign of that person totally giving up all hope of life on earth. It's the easy way out of all of life's troubles.
But when someone commits suicide....who suffers most? Not that person. He/she is already gone anyways. It's the loved ones they leave behind that suffer the consequences and bear the emotional trauma.
Imagine a situation where a man who owns loan sharks so much money and they harrass him all the time. One day, he couldn't take it anymore and hangs himself. How about his wife and children he leaves behind? They have to face and loan sharks and suffer the consequences themselves. Sad isn't it? Even sadder (I think) are those who kill their entire family with them , thinking it would spare their loved ones from suffering. Taking the lives of innocent people......who still have a whole life ahead of them to live.

At least for Christians, we still have hope in Jesus when everything in life goes wrong.
