Keri Hilson- A Lesson Finally Learned
So much has been made of Keri Hilson’s emergence onto the music scene over the past year. Women appear to dig her style, while men…well let’s just say we value her many assets (thank you Lord.) To be perfectly honest with you though, I can’t really remember this much anticipation surrounding an artist since my neighborhood held candlelight vigils prayerfully awaiting the end of Vanilla Ice’s career. And while the prayers of my small town were finally answered, the arrival of Hilson’s first single “Energy” may prove to be even more beneficial than the “ice man’s” demise.
By dissecting the lyrics of Hilson’s lead single, a fundamental lesson is unearthed which had seemingly gone undiscovered by more than a few women throughout the years.
How to walk away.
In my inbox alone, I’ve received countless emails from women who find themselves trapped in dead end relationships. And similar to Hilson’s song, they too find themselves stuck with a man who literally sucks the life out of them. But that’s where the similarities end. Whereas Hilson displayed the courage to walk away from a bad situation, many women remain stuck in neutral, unable to will themselves out of the doomed relationship. Which brings us to our question of the day…
Fly Lyrics Question:
Why is it so hard for some to walk away from a bad relationship? If you’ve ever experienced this, share your story, and how you ultimately resolved it.
The Lyrics:
I wish I could rip out a page of my memory
Cuz I put to much energy in him and me
Can’t wait til I get through this phase
Cuz it’s killing me
To bad we can’t re-write our own history
Such a mystery when he’s here with me
It’s hard to believe I’m still lonely
Chances fading now, patience running out
This ain’t how it’s supposed to be
I’m having nightmares from sleeping with the enemy
How do we reverse the chemistry?
I don’t want us to be the end of me
This love is taking all of my energy
Energy, My Energy
Taking all my energy
Energy, My Energy
Taking all of (my energy)
Seems only like yesterday, not even gravity
Could keep your feet off the ground when you go to me
How can two be as one
We’ve become to divided now
There’s no use hiding from my misery
Such a mystery when he’s here with me
It’s hard to believe I’m still lonely
Chances fading now, patience running out
This ain’t how it’s supposed to be
I’m having nightmares from sleeping with the enemy (Oh, Yeah)
How do we reverse the chemistry? (We gotta re-)
I don’t want us to be the end of me
This love is taking all of my energy
Energy, My Energy
Taking all my energy (Energy)
Energy (Energy), My Energy (Energy)
Taking all of
Now I can feel a change in me
And I can’t afford a slippage
From the person I was meant to be
I’m not afraid to move alone
Not give it up but moving on
Before it gets to deep
Cause your taking all of my energy
I’m having nightmares from sleeping with the enemy
How do we reverse the chemistry?
I don’t want us to be the end of me
This love is taking all of my energy
Energy, My Energy
Taking all my energy
Energy, My Energy
Taking all of (my energy) x2
Ya killing me
Ya taking all of me
This love is taking all my energy

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m the biggest Keri STAN. I love that girl, and would be willing to have her kids. Yeah, that’s how serious I am about her…lol

I was in a relationship like this. He was just doing me wrong, cheating, had me doing illegal shit for him that could have landed me behind bars but I was so in love and so hurt all at once. The last time I saw him he came over to my house, I was really upset with him. My daughter started crying so I went to check on her and when I came back about ten minutes later he was gone. He had left out of my home leaving it unlocked. I called and called and he refused to answer. I felt a deep pain of abandonment and I cried non stop for about 5 hours. After that I was completely done. I left him two messages. One voicemail letting him know where I left his things. Another email explaining that I will not contact him ever again and he is not to call me or stop by my house ever. I felt crappy for a couple weeks but relieved and renewed.

I was in a bad relationship but i’ve never been one to stick around while i’m getting treated badly. Lied to and cheated on (which i think could be the worst feeling’s in the world) So it’s never been hard for me, but then again I wasn’t in love.
And I like Keri, she seems like a real down to earth cool person and it doesn’t hurt that she has a beautiful voice.

What? You mean you can (kind of) relate to a topic. This is a first ;-)
Bahama

The Fly Guy

Bahama
LOL!! oh no i’ve become predictable..okay i’ll stop male bashing, but then you won’t have any comments from me…lol
The Fly Guy
HAHA! No, don’t do that. The world may turn upside down on its axis if you stop male bashing…lol.

Getting out of a bad relationship is easier said than done. No one wants to be a quitter. Times may be bad now, but a few months ago, they were amazing. So you become optimistic and hope, soon, you guys will return to those days. My last relationship affected me emotionally for weeks, but it wasn’t until I started to have abdominal pains at the thought of him, became incapable of sleeping a full night, that I decided it was necessary for me to toss in the towel.

Fly Guy,
The last couple songs you posted have such a negative theme…I give you props for calling out some great songs to add to my “Boys Suck” iTunes playlist, but how about something a little more positive, hopeful, uplifting? You’re stirring up bad memories! Hehehe :)

I just got out of a horrible relationship with a someone a few months ago and everything they say is true about hindsight being 20/20, i couldnt see past my love for him no matter what anyone said i just assumed they were just jealous haters. My family and friends told me he was no good but i didnt see it then actually it took me 6 years to figure that out between me losing sleep,weight and my hair falling out in clumps due to stressing over him i decided that he had to go, so i could regain my sanity.
