This week in class, we went over the theme Alienation. We looked at 2 songs, The Clash's "Lost in the Supermarket" and Lily Allen's "The Fear." Although both songs were really good, I chose more to talk about "The Fear." I think everyone can relate to the song, because in the back of everyone's mind, they wonder what it would be like to be rich and famous. But Lily tells the other half of the story. The side that people don't understand or get to see. In the song, she says, "And I am a weapon of massive consumption, And it's not my fault, its how I'm programmed to function." I think this represents that we are all being consumed by the media, and that's a problem. This song has so much more depth, so I urge you to take a listen if you haven't already.
