Rodger Rabbit

Song: Rodger Rabbit
Artist: Sleeping With Sirens

This song came to my mind yesterday when I was trying to find a new song for my "New Song Challenge." I don't know why. And I honestly can not remember how I came across this song in the first. All I remember is I was listening to a song (I can't even remember what the song was!) on youtube and someone in the comments said something about how the song I was listening to reminded them of the song "Rodger Rabbit by Sleeping With Sirens." A lot of other people agreed and mentioned this song too. So, being the naturally curious person that I am, especially when it comes to music and potential great new songs, I looked it up. It's catchy. I liked it. I only listened to it once. But then I randomly thought of it yesterday and since it technically wasn't a "new song" for me, I couldn't post it during my challenge. So I waited for today :) And since I want to post a song every single day, this is what you're getting.

I have no idea why the song is called "Rodger Rabbit." It never mentions anything about Rodger Rabbit in the song. There is literally zero reference to anything regarding him. I read in the comments someone's idea as to why. It was something about being inferior to your significant other in a relationship .... they gave the example of how Rodger Rabbit is "inferior" to his wife (or whatever she is) Jessica Rabbit. It might just be about feeling inferior in general to other people around you which, I can totally relate.


Is there a right way for how this goes?
You've got your friends
And you've got your foes
They want a piece of something hot
Forget your name like they forgot

Oh, ain't that something?

Some wanna see you crash and burn
And criticize your every word
I'm trying to keep from going insane
Ain't that the way of this whole damn thing

Oh, trying to be something more

Nobody's gonna love you if
You can't display a way to capture this
Nobody's gonna hold your hand
And guide you through
No it's up for you to understand
Nobody's gonna feel your pain
When all is done
And it's time for you to walk away
So when you have today
You should say all that you have to say


Say all that you have to say

Is there a right way for being strong?
Feels like I'm doing things all wrong

Still I'm here just holding on
Confess my heart and forgive my wrongs.

Oh, just trying to show you something more

Nobody's gonna love you if
You can't display a way to capture this
Nobody's gonna hold your hand
And guide you through
It's up for you to understand
Nobody's gonna feel your pain
When all is done
And it's time for you to walk away
When you have today
You should say all that you have to say


Don't point the blame when you can't find nothing
Look to yourself and you might find something

It's time that we sorted out
All of the things we complain about

So listen close to the sound of your soul
Take back a life we led once before
If it ain't you then who?...
If it ain't you then who's gonna love you?

Nobody's gonna love you if
You can't display a way to capture this
Nobody's gonna hold your hand
And guide you through
It's up for you to understand
Nobody's gonna feel your pain
When all is done
And it's time for you to walk away
When you have today
You should say all that you have to say


So when you have today
Say all that you have to say
