Composing A Song - Drug

The other day, we had an activity where we write our own songs, using different inspirations for it. We have to write 4 verses and a chorus.

This song is about people, not just teens, I know teens are mainly targeted by it. It's about social media, how it affects people's mindset, how bad it can cause them to have low self-esteem.
It affects how people act in everyday life, how and what they see themselves as.

The title is called "Drug", I named it "drug" because imagine this, it's your first time uploading a photo on social media, people start liking your post, they start following you, commenting on your post, as time goes by, every time you post on social media, you'll keep wanting more likes, it's addicting because likes, followers, and comments affect the way you think, if you don't get enough likes on your post, you'll think that people dislike you.

This is my song:

“Drug”

Poisonous, it burns your throat

Taste it, you’ll want more

It’s a drug, you’ll get addicted

Soon enough, you’re blinded 

By all the social media (social media)

It’s affecting people’s mind (people’s mind)

You’ll then start to listen to (to listen to) the voices of others

Every time you look in the mirror

yeah, you don’t like what you see

It’s eating society

You’ll start to doubt yourself, anxiety

Oh, stop hiding in your shell

Come out, come out, shine like a star that you are, you are

Appreciate and love yourself

Oh no one’s gonna help you but you

In this cruel world nothing’s permanent

Be confident about yourself,

‘bout your body, 

‘bout your face,

‘bout your ability to face the challenges

(Don’t get eaten) 

(It’ll do you no good)

I know it’s hard but I know you can do it

I know it’ll take a long time but it’s worth it

This song will make you realise that life isn't how many likes you get, followers you get and comment. It's about being content in what you have and that you don't need people to like you. You don't need to change just so people can like you. People that choose to stay with you even at your worst are real, remember "Choose the real"
