Demi Lovato, an apparent pop star I could never identify if I had a gun to my head despite seeing a picture of her right this second, has an inescapable song out right now called “Really Don’t Care,” a full-blown girl power anthem that features plenty of anger directed at a nameless, faceless guy, including Demi giving said guy the finger – in public!
But it’s the chorus to this song that makes it so interesting:
But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh I really don’t care
Even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh I really don’t care
Oh oh oh I really don’t care
I really enjoy songs like this because it’s great evidence of pop music writers just throwing shit at the wall and, if it sounds catchy, they roll with it. There is no room for sense, especially since we’ll all just sing along anyway.
“But even if the stars and moon collide / I never want you back into my life”
You know what? If the stars and our moon somehow miraculously collide, I’m pretty sure we’d all be instantaneously dead because that would mean the universe was likely collapsing on itself. So, Demi, you won’t even have time to get payback on the guy who broke your heart; none of it will matter as everything we have ever known will be gone before we even have time to know it was happening.
But yeah, sure, I guess that still means you can tell him that you won’t take him back.
