Song I Tried So Hard

1. Akon I Tried So Hard Download

'I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't even matter' what he means by that is what matters most is the journey, not the destination. But this moment right now, right here is what matters because that's where everything is taking place and that's all that exsists.

Song MeaningThis song taps into a universal concern: hyper-awareness of time and the inculcated need to do something 'constructive' with it. Most of us spend most of our lives in a dilemma just trying to decide what course of action to take from the debilitating infinity of possibilities supposedly within our grasp. Remember that time didn't exist for most people even 100 years ago, at least not in terms of the seconds ticking by with the 'pendulum swinging'. Time is a modern invention, and along with the atomisation of human 'society' and the dehumanising effects of technology, accounts for the anxiety of the post-war generations. If you do the maths, the population has expanded massively while opportunities have only increased slightly, despite the big lie that there are opportunities for all if you just try hard enough. This song is about the realisation of this lie, and the unquenchable anger that is directed towards the self in this individualistic age. This is the greatest achievement of the neo-liberal capitalist democracy - we are supposedly free and unbounded so when we fail we beat ourselves up instead of having social revolutions.

For me, this song is the greatest emotional evocation of this dire mental situation, and is best served up with a dose of early Manic Street Preachers for the intellectual and political side of things. You sure think you're smart, don't you. At least you knew what it was you were saying.

However, bringing in unrelated topics like the effects of technology was amateurish. Trying to craft this musical masterpiece into a dissertation of society's perception of the concept of time is absurd. It utterly ignores the blatant interpersonal descriptions concerning the soured relationship the second verse deals with. The song is not a repetition of the first verse, the first verse merely sets the stage for the story Mike is telling, as it should. Clearly many were fooled into trusting your formidable vocabulary, but I am afraid that spouting educated interpretations with no basis in reality will only win over the undiscerning. Yes you're right there is a whole interpersonal relationship angle in the second verse - I read it as a son rejecting a father's controlling influence. The father acts like the son is 'part of his property' and an extension of his own ego.

But the great thing about this song is that the personal level (father putting pressure on son to conform and achieve) is intertwined with the wider societal pressure I talked about in my first comment (pressure to achieve with the clock ticking away your youth, and the internalisation of failure). So the bridge lyrics 'I put my trust in you' could mean trusting the father's egocentric plans for him, or it could mean 'you' the societal system which he rebels against by joining a metal band. It's like when Rage Against the Machine say 'fuck you I won't do what you tell me' - is 'you' a person, or an entire system of control and conformism? Complex ideas need complex words and sentence structures, and I think it's rather patronizing to say that everyone who voted my original comment up was just blinded by vocabulary. Perhaps they found it refreshing to read a comment on here that doesn't just say 'it's about a relationship'?

General CommentEasy to Interpret: The guy is talking about how much time he has wasted on some girl he was probably with. And he mentions that he remembers all the times she fought with him and treated him as if he were her property. He even mentions that he put his trust in her and pushed too far into the relationship and in the end it didn't even matter because she walked off from his life.

He then mentions that she wouldn't recognize him anymore after all the years they haven't seen each other. He even says: Not that you knew me back then, but it all comes back to me in the end. Meaning: that the girl he was with barely knew him, even if they were together.

And he's starting to remember it all. The point of this song: Don't waste your time on someone you think you love, who doesn't even care about you, you're wasting too much time. And in the end, you will regret it. That's pretty much what I got from it.

I can relate to this song 'cause I went through this years ago. General CommentThe nice thing about lyrics is their ability to mean something different to everyone. Most people have said they relate to this song in terms of boyfriend/girlfriend relationships. The lyrics can certainly be seen that way. He is singing to someone.

That is obvious. Likewise the interpretation that he is singing about life and death, and how the things we do in life don't matter in the end is also a very valid interpretation. The song being about Chester's addiction to coke is also a possibility. Download hasbi rabbi jallallah mp3. The point of this website, I I expect, is to raise awareness about the different aspects of this song.

Not to diss it, or to compare it with Nsyncs bubblegum 'hip pop'. The point is to tell people what you hear of yourself in this song. It has the ability to affect someone deeply at the very roots of their emotional stability. With respect to the interpretations of others (you can agree with me or not) I see the song like this: The singer is angry.

Hurt and pain radiates from his voice, and it is emphasized by the heavy drumbeats and guitar strains. It doesn't matter, he says. In the end it doesn't even matter. Haven't we all felt that way? At least once in our lives haven't we felt that someone is 'mocking' us, 'acting like I was part of your property' and people who you fought with (your parents? Boyfriend, girlfriend? Friends?)'I've put my trust in you.'

We all trust someone, even if it's only ourselves. We always get let down, by ourselves or by others (perhaps you expected a better grade than you got. Or perhaps your parents got divorced, or your significant other left you) at some point because it's a part of being human. 'Time is a valuable thing, watch it fly by as the pendulum swings.' As humans, we are fleeting creatures. We have less than a century to accomplish something worthwhile.

That accomplishment could be in a medicinal cure, leading a country- or even loving someone, raising a child to be better off than you were. We only have so long to do these things, and always we see the prospect of death looming ahead. And it's when we fail that songs like this come into play. I could've done better, I tried so hard to make it work, to do things right. Now I failed, I'm out of time, it doesn't even matter. The first half of the song is in reference to the permanent time frame which we have in life to accomplish something.

The seconf half refers to the specific event itself. Which will mean different things to everyone.

Agree with me or not, this is my opinion. General CommentI've decided that this song will be my anthem this summer while I'm rebuilding from falling short in my wrestling season. Damn right I fell apart, and I lost everything I worked for, leaving all my blood sweat and tears to waste. Linkin Park is probably one of, if not the best, at being real with their music. I love how they don't worry about being rich, they don't worry about being famous.

They worry about spreading the message of just fighting through the rough times, and earning every second of success.
