The song takes on a more religious tone as it begins to question what people describe as “God”. It goes through the mindset of an individual who is troubled by the existence of a higher power and focuses on the idea that religious people think they hold a monopoly on the truth. The lyrics then attack God by giving it human traits, “If God controls the land and disease, and keeps a watchful eye on me, if it’s really so damn mighty, well then my problem is I can’t see who would want to be such a control freak”. This ideology then comes to a pessimistic conclusion that if no higher power exists, then nothing matters in the end. This theme then reappears in another song titled “Float On. Float On’s lyrics portray a man who goes throughout his entire day without letting his positive attitude spoil when bad things keep reoccurring. The title of this song is then revealed to point out the underlying lesson that you can have a nihilistic philosophy but be positive that nothing really…
The entire poem is written with a tone of sadness or depression. This evokes the senses of the reader by being able to sense how the girl is feeling and see how the words of others affect her. It can be pictured, this little girl who plays with the Barbie doll and it is just a toy, but to others it is the appearance that society wants and she soon realizes that when a fellow classmate hurts her with mean words. She can not go on with the fear that everyone sees her as imperfect or flawed, so in the end she gives up on trying and eventually gives up on herself. A simile in the poem, “Her good nature wore out/like a fan belt,” the message here is that she has given up on everything.…

According to ABC news, Demi said, "It was a way of expressing my own shame, of myself, on my own body," she told Roberts. “I was matching the inside to the outside. And there were some times where my emotions were just so built up; I didn't know what to do. The only way that I could get instant gratification…
Throughout the story, she encounters problems that continuously defy what her original goal was. The idea that things go the opposite way than she intended illustrates the fact she has little power and control. When things go her way, she can act mature but when the situation goes south, things can get out of control. As an example, when the movie manager refused to refund her money she lit the candy stand on fire. “So he ain’t gettin up off the money.…
This song acknowledges young people, such as women, that they are still powerful no matter what they have gone through. A message would relate to not allowing a man to change who you are. One being themselves is the best they can be. Young minds will see that women are not sticks, or flowers like Wollstonecraft stated, that you can easily break; Women are strong as steel, something that is difficult to break and bend. Just with one person being out of their lives does not completely break us down.…
