Hey all, my name is Seth Cerrate. I’m obviously a freshman.
The songs aren’t necessarily in order of importance so I’ll just go down the list in order.
The first song is “Bad Blood” by Bastille and from the moment I heard it, it spoke to me. It’s basically says to cut the bs and not deal with drama. Im a very carefree person and tend to shy away from unnecessary altercations, at least so that I’m happy in the end.
The second song is “Icarus”. The lyrics tell the story of Icarus, the angel who wouldn’t listen and flew too close to the sun. His wings got melted off because of his curiosity and over enthusiasm. His story portrays my own likeliness towards getting myself into trouble. I’m over eager with everything and usually go in headstrong without a plan.
Next song is “Circles” by Passenger. This is a song that hit close to home because of its simplicity. I’m just another circle of life and am very aware of how I affect other people’s circles. However I choose to not abide by the songs notion to conform into what everyone else does. In the end I will do what makes me happy until I am dust in the wind.
“I Hate” also by Passenger, don’t really need to explain this one if you’ve listened to the song.
“Ego” by Beyoncé. My ego isn’t as huge as she says, however I’m not afraid to say what I have to say and give myself a pat on the back every so often. Or every minute, either one works 🙂
“Mi Corazoncito” by Aventura. I’m a full bred Dominican and as much as I tried to fight it when I was younger, I love my Hispanic heritage. It’s a huge part of who I am today and I try to make up for lost time by learning more about my culture every day. The song specifically has no meaning, I was just super into it when I was in eighth grade.
“Flaws” by Bastille. I am aware of my flaws. I am aware of your flaws. Both don’t matter cause we’re human, I’ll get over it.
“Listen” by Beyoncé. Now more than ever I feel like I have an actual voice and can decide what I want to do with my life and take responsibility.
“Fly On The Wall” by TFK. Hard to explain, easy to listen to and get the message of.
“Work Hard, Play Hard” by Wiz Khalifa. I did not know how determined I was to succeed until I got to college. I have two jobs on top of school and a healthy social life. I go home to sleep and clean, that’s it. Otherwise I’m doing something that allows me to move forward in life. However none of it deters me from having fun, I make sure that I’m happy wherever it is that I’m at. A smile never hurt anyone and I make sure to flaunt mine for whoever wants to see it.
