Music Boost Friday - Shake It Out

I came up with another topic for my blog. I'm gonna post song/s that inspire/ed me every Friday and will call it Music Boost Friday. 

 So, my music boost for today is Shake It Out by Florence and the Machine. I think that it is all about the burdens and issues of your life that keep on bugging you, most especially issues about relationships. They keep on dragging you until you've decided to move on; that explains the line I'm always dragging that horse around... Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground. The horse is the issue that she keeps on dragging and decides to let go of it. 

If you ask my mom, I guess she would tell you that this song is really for me. One time, she told me that I keep on running away from my problems. I don't want to talk about it and kept it to myself instead. For me, it's hard to tell someone about the mistakes and regrets of your life, I opt for keeping them to myself rather that letting my family and friends have a taste on my misery.  Nevertheless I still stand and find a way to move forward. It's hard to dance with a devil on your back so shake it off... Its hard to be happy with all those negativities so we gotta shake them away and move on. 

Here's the lyrics and I highlight my favorite lines.

Regrets collect like old friends

Here to relive your darkest moments

I can see no way, I can see no way

And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh

But I like to keep some things to myself

I like to keep my issues drawn

It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind

I can never leave the past behind

I can see no way, I can see no way

I'm always dragging that horse around

And our love is pastured such a mournful sound

Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground

So I like to keep my issues drawn

But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh woah

I am done with my graceless heart

So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart

Cause I like to keep my issues drawn

It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh woah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back so shake him off

And given half the chance would I take any of it back

It's a fine romance but its left me so undone

It's always darkest before the dawn

Oh woah, oh woah...

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't

So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road

And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope

It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat

Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me

Looking for heaven, found the devil in me

Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh woah
