We always hear about song lyrics that we deeply connect to on a personal level, but what about ones that are the opposite of your experiences and/or vibe? I’ll start first:
“I got money in the bank.”
- T-Pain on Buy U a Drank

Every time I’m listening to “getting better” by the Beatles and hear “I used to be cruel to my woman, I’d beat her” and then they sing about getting better I instantly turn off.
Even when I was a kid I was like wait so he still beats his wife but like not as often?
What the f*** and who beats their wife anyway and how is that in this song and it just bothers me to no end every time I have heard that song for the past my entire lifetime.
“All that ‘I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved’ was me. I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically - any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn’t express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women.”
John Lennon
Obviously that’s not OK.
But in all seriousness, isn’t that the growth we want from people? He didn’t just recognize that it was fucked up and changed. He also publicly acknowledged that he used to be that person and that that person was fucked up.
… Wut?
The less you know, the better… Can never listen to him again without that popping up in my brain.
right? Im surprised to read that about mr “imagine all the people living life in peace”.
This information just killed the song. And the message. What an arse.
