Secret 7 / Research

I have decided to go with the song called 'I saved the world today' by Eurythmics. Eurythmics were a British music duo consisting of members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart. The band was formed in 1980.

Research began with analyzing the lyrics within the song, to pull out potential concepts.

I saved the world today is a song which verses are filled with melancholy. While listening to the chorus it gives a feeling that the song will get positive but combining it with its content and the rest of the verses, the meaning of the song becomes apparent and consistent. 'I saved the world today' is sarcastically being used to criticise our indifference to the plight of those suffering. Most likely, the song is about protecting the world (or at least the closet people). To protect it form ourselves and souls which are full of hidden pain (verse two). The text is related to our behavior - as we hiding our pain and problems from everyone trying to suppress them, this usually leads to loneliness. A slightly ironic text in the background shows the essence of those behaviors, which are really worth of considering.

That look at the end. It's like saying "you know this is a lie" "I've saved the world today" Is just what everyone WANTS to say, or at least to hear, and it's the lie we've been fed countless of times by the higher ranks... "please let it stay" it's the truthful message... she's pleading the people in charge to do the right thing, to let peace stay. but we all know that's not going to happen. The officials just indefferntly do their thing. Playing war or peace is just the same to them.

Lyrics 

Monday finds you like a bomb
That's been left ticking there too long
You're bleeding
Some days there's nothing left to learn
From the point of no return
You're leaving

Hey Hey I saved the world today
Everybody's happy now
The bad thing's gone away
And everybody's happy now
The good thing's here to stay
Please let it stay

There's a million mouths to feed
And I've got everything I need
I'm breathing
And there's a hurting thing inside
But I've got everything to hide
I'm grieving

Hey Hey I saved the world today
Everybody's happy now
The bad thing's gone away
And everybody's happy now
The good thing's here to stay
Please let it stay

Let it stay
Let it stay
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo the good thing
