It wasn&#8217;t that anything was really wrong, but everything just felt&#8230; weird. So, I decided to find some music that fit a &#8216;confusion&#8217; theme &#8211; in one way or another. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rihanna\" target=\"_blank\">Rihanna<\/a>&#8216;s Disturbia<\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.azlyrics.com\/lyrics\/rihanna\/disturbia.html\" target=\"_blank\">lyrics<\/a>) popped into my head first, and why not? It is a song about mental anguish after all, and the music video is nicely weird and creepy. Be warned though, some have said it gave them nightmares >< <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E1mU6h4Xdxc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tears_for_Fears\" target=\"_blank\">Tears for Fears<\/a>&#8216; Advice for the Young at Heart<\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.azlyrics.com\/lyrics\/tearsforfears\/advicefortheyoungatheart.html\" target=\"_blank\">lyrics<\/a>) is next, and yes, I know it&#8217;s quite a 180 turn. But, that does kind of fit the theme doesn&#8217;t it? Keeping you on your toes and all hehe Anyways, this song deals with the confusion of life, particularly for newlyweds, yet it keeps things optimistic.  <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z1NP9aHqRGU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Another song focusing on the confusion of life is <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Taylor_Swift\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor Swift<\/a>&#8216;s A Place in this World<\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.azlyrics.com\/lyrics\/taylorswift\/aplaceinthisworld.html\" target=\"_blank\">lyrics<\/a>). While this song isn&#8217;t one I would regularly listen to, I do like the lyrics, specifically the lines: &#8220;Even though I&#8217;m not the only one; Who feels the way I do; I&#8217;m alone, on my own, and that&#8217;s all I know&#8221;. I think that pretty much describes how everyone feels all the time, even if they don&#8217;t directly acknowledge it. <\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IdzFekmOhHU<\/p>\n<p>Now, I know my minor change up was just that, minor. But, what happens when things really start to go wrong? For that, I give you <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Waldo%27s_People\">Waldo&#8217;s People<\/a>&#8216;s Lose Control<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurovision.tv\/event\/lyrics?event=1480&#038;song=24686\" target=\"_blank\">lyrics<\/a>). The song deals with the spiral downwards, but the video shows there is still hope when you reach the bottom (although it showcases on a religious hope, you can take it however you like). <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ybbNQnSPseA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>What songs leave you confused, or help you sort things out?
