All the songs of today, are talking about how so and so hurt you and how you're "over" them. If you were REALLY over them, would you really bother spending all that time and thought just to write a song for them?! I know that usually, it is just to humiliate them... but I can't help but think that sometimes you you're not really "over" them at all, you're just venting... What do you think?

Thanks for everybody's answers... I was just curious.. I do understand that sometimes we need to vent (I actually write lots of lyrics for my band) and I kept writing about how I was over him, but when I really think about it, I still got goosebumps when I wrote about him... is that really "over" him..?! That aroused my question... Again, thanks for everyone's answers, you guys are great!

I totally agree, I think that song writers have lost the most important thing in the world, "what maters to the public"
Honsetly I could care less that you are pissed about a guy that dumped you for some hot babe and so you go off and burn his house down.
What is that teaching america?? Nothing good, it teaches to be vengeful, hateful, and just plain weak.
Me personally I would love to hear a song about anything other than bull, like maybe things that matter our soldiers overseas, our single moms that just canned their worthless men and vise versa, making the best of things. Children whos dreams have come true even though they were told they would never.
We have lost the meaning to life. Americans are stuck on this the more skin shown the more lies told the better off you are.
WRONG!!!!!!!
THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END AND IT'S BECAUSE OF THE MEDIA!!!!!

Usually until you find someone better than the last one you were with in regards to attractiveness/ personality/ personal turn ons, you won't be able to get over your ex. It's the same as if you were living in a mansion but lost it and now were in an apartment building. Even though you had a new place of residence, you wouldn't forget your time spent in the mansion.
My paragraph above was in relation to not being over someone when in a new relationship. Now it's hard to be over someone when you're single. You usually feel like they still care when they don't. So you leave your door open thus getting you hurt more as long as it stays that way. Eventually a new guy/girl comes along, and once they come in that doorway, it shuts and you are able to move on.

Yeah, we usually are just telling ourselves we're over them at the beginning to convince ourselves. It's the first step to getting over it. The songs you're talking about are mostly the writer's way of releasing the pain. In some cases it might be to humiliate them but I think usually it's the other way.

"You're so lame, I bet you think this song is about you!". Its been going on for decades. Look back at Elvis and his, "You aint nothin' but a hound dog, grying all the time. You ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine!" Its been going on forever.
The reason is because people aren't in love, they are in lust. Love would want the best for the other person, for them to be happy. Instead they only want to possess/own the individual in question.

This sounds like a Kelly Clarkson song. She spends more time singing about how she's over a guy than she does with them!

I think it's a stage in healing. Creative people need to let out their strong emotions (I know because I am one). After we vent (sometimes a few times) it is all over . . . we don't need any more healing.

that's a great question. I think when we give our hearts we really give our all to someone. When it ends, we may not want to face it emotionally. We may want to be over them, but we're really not, but we hope if we say it maybe it will be true if not today then sometime soon.

You're pretty much right.
But people say, "I'm over you" to make themselves believe that they. In time, they really will be.. But lying damages your views on the whole situation..

maybe its like a therapeutic way for them to deal with their loss of a lover. they probably aren't over them but want them to think they are. when you love someone do you ever really get over them after your break-up? i think that sometimes you would like to think so but probably not.

Hey, cut us a little slack. There's always a part of us that wishes it could have worked out.
