Song Analysis: The Who's Behind Blue Eyes
“Behind Blue Eyes”
Many songs in today's entertainment industry can relate to people's lives, whether from experiences or just thoughts. “No one knows what it's like to be the bad man, to be the sad man, behind blue eyes” is a great line that relates to today's society from the song, “Behind Blue Eyes” by The Who. This line demonstrates how people can be so ignorant and close-minded because many people think that whatever it is that's happening to them, is only and has only happened to them and nobody else. For example, someone may have money problems and try to hide it but little do they know that their best friend may even be struggling with the same problem, as well.
“No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings like I do and I blame you” is another line that can relate to today's society because whenever a person is suffering with anything, they usually blame others.

I never really thought that maybe the reason why he broke up with me was because of something I did, so my stubborness led me to blame him. There may also be situations where a bad experience was caused by someone else, but even then, people need to learn to forgive and move on.

In the novel, Victor Frankenstein created a creature and gave life to it but soon regret it after realizing that it didn't turn out the way he planned. The creature then faced a hard time fitting in or being loved by anyone because of how unnattractive he looked. People ran in fear at the sight of him, which led him to blame Victor for creating him as well as blaming others for judging him. I agree that people should not judge others by their looks but the fact that the creature did murder people and caused chaos, didn't help his situation. I also thought that it was interesting to compare Victor and
