family....
This song really shows that life is much better when u have a family to love and knowing that they will be there for you know matter what happens. Family Portrait means that they may look happy in their 'family portrait' or to the rest of the world when really they are not.
Family Portrait by Pink This song “Family Portrait” by Pink means that families need to stick together and without each other we can not do much and people all over the world have been determined to live together, so that they depend on living for each other. I think this song shows that some couples are unable to maintain their marriage, therefore they choose divorce. When I read this song I felt that pink was trying to say that divorce has a major impact on the children of the family. When Pink sings the lyrics ‘my mama she loves you, no matter what she says it’s true, I know that she hurt you, but remember I love you too’. This was a good example as it shows how hurt the young girl is.
Although pain is a major representation in the song Family Portrait, frustration is equally important. Throughout this song, Pink shows the frustration children have when their parents fight and/or get a divorce. I think when Pink says “it aint easy growin up in world war lll” it can be interpreted as it will be hard to live when everyone around you is fighting and it makes a big influence on you and your personality. I also think when pink says “ I promise I will be better, mommy I will do anything” has more meaning then we think, I think it means when parents fight the children think it is their fault and the children feel guilty for their family falling apart. I choose this song because if felt it had lots of meaning and it shows me that families need to stick together instead of yelling and fighting you need to solve the problem. It also reminds me that I will always need my family and that we need to be there for each other even if we fight sometimes.

    The song is about negative issues that are on a global level. In an interview about the song Butler says “It’s hard not to look around and try to ask the questions, “Does anybody see the insanity that’s going around at the moment? Is it just me, or has anyone else seen this craziness, this madness of destruction, whether through war or killing people through the economy?”” The theme of the song is about standing up for a change and the fact that…

    Before I start this analysis, I would like to point out that this interpretation of this song will be biased in two ways. I am a Christian and my interpretation will be based on my beliefs. My second bias is that I think that this band is one of the most lyrically powerful bands ever and is honestly probably my favorite band right now.…

    All though my parents never got a divorce I feel a connection with different pieces of the song and I thoroughly enjoyed the way he expressed his emotions throughout the song in words I would have never thought of using. The song is very vocal with a quite instrumental background that ties it all together, he uses so much emotion and power in his singing that it’s hard not to feel the same emotions he is feeling in this song. He talks about his parents fighting and him trying to keep them together which I feel like most children have tried to do when their parents are fighting.…

    The lyrics aren’t just narrating the lives of Lisa, Nicole and Erica; it is narrating what millions of children are going through. This song portrays real life situations and I can guarantee you that every word in verse 1, 2 and 3 are completely true from the part where Lisa gets sexually abused to where Nicole is harassed by her step father. The song demonstrates the various types of abuse and pain each girl is going through, from the lines…

    This song portrays how we as Americans should represent our country, soldiers or not. We should be proud to be Americans and represent our country in the best possible way. It also shows that we should be there for each other, to stand beside each other and to do what is right. If only all Americans could have the bond for each other that our soldiers have, we would be a much better country. They fight beside each as brothers and sisters for our country and protect our rights.…

    This shows that her daughter is simply too young to understand the complications of life and is content in her own little happy world, therefore signifying the innocence of children at that age. During the last stanza the mother says, "Iron talismans, and ugly, but/more loyal than mirrors," which shows that innocence is temporary therefore some part of it is going to be destroyed.…

    his/her innocence. The second comment shows the ideologically simple thinking of child. That kind of comment is comparable to "I want the world to have peace to everyone is happy" comment common among middle-schoolers and beauty queens. In the next stanza the dialogue of the mom contrasts that of the kid. She is the voice of reason and caution and the kid is the voice of pro-activity and enthusiasm. She lists the dangers one by one, understands the problem, and gives a solution. She is very much a common sense figure. It also goes so far as to parallel the two voices for the black community at that time. One voice was proactive and wanted to march for freedom and the other wanted to kneel and pray rather than stand up for their rights.…

    Every family has its fair share of problems whether it be cultural or generational. Many families could just solve their problems and be fine with it, but many families cannot cope with work pressures, financial inconsistencies, divorce, maybe even the children of the household. But there is one thing that a family compromises of, and that is hope. In today’s modern era, family has a completely different meaning to it than past generations. Family can consist of anyone, blood related or not. Family now, is not the typical husband, wife and children, it much more different than that. Even if family does not carry the same meaning as it did in the past, that does not mean values are not carried throughout…
