aim a little higher than this, girls...

Upon thinking about what to include here, I thought, how about I take a closer look at the lyrics of a song? 

Ooo, my girls are going to a One Direction concert in a few weeks, I thought; I should take a look at one of their songs. Conversation starter with my girls... They're going to think I'm so cool. 

I came across the song "Na Na Na". I'm sure there'll be something to digest, right?

Hmm...

Na Na Na

[Verse 1]
[Liam]
We've got a bit of love/hate
You take me to the edge then you hit the brakes
I say it's over one day,
But then I'm crawling back begging you to stay
We make up and we break up all the time

I'll say that I hate a song,
Then you'll go request it the whole night long
Some people say it's so wrong but even when we fight,
Girl, you turn me on
We make up and we break up all the time

[Chorus]
We're like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
Always like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah

[Zayn]
No, we can't make up our minds
'Cause when we think we've got it right
We go na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

[Verse 2]
[Liam]
You wanna party too late
But when I do the same all you do is complain.
You know that it drives me insane
When I get with you girl you make it okay.
We make up and we break up all the time.

[Chorus]
We're like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
Always like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah

[Zayn]
No, we can't make up our minds
'Cause when we think we've got it right
We go na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, yeah, yeah, yeah [2x]

[Zayn]
Oh oh oh... It drives me mad, oh

Na [20x]

[Chorus]
We're like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
Always like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
We're like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
Always like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah

[Zayn]
No, we can't make up our minds
'Cause when we think we've got it right

We go na, na, na, na

Nice. 

First, nothing quite gets to the heart of a pre-teen like a good love/hate song for couples. 

You take me to the edge then you hit the brakes
I say it's over one day,
But then I'm crawling back begging you to stay
We make up and we break up all the time

You take me to the edge of what?? Are these kids toying with sex and he can't handle her saying no? He breaks up with her, but then keeps coming back for more? Lovely.

Off to a great start.

I'll say that I hate a song,
Then you'll go request it the whole night long
Some people say it's so wrong but even when we fight,
Girl, you turn me on
We make up and we break up all the time

No words... except, Listen to the people who are telling you it's so wrong!! Ugh!

You wanna party too late
But when I do the same all you do is complain.
You know that it drives me insane
When I get with you girl you make it okay.
We make up and we break up all the time.

Just peachy. 

Girls, here's the sum of it all (according to our friends, One Direction): 

Step #1: Do whatever you want. 

Step #2: Give him a hard time when he does the same. 

Step #3: Use your wily, girly ways to lure him back (he won't be able to help himself).

Step #4: rinse, and repeat.

I think I should've picked a different song...

[Chorus]
We're like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
Always like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
We're like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah
Always like na, na, na
Then we're like yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm a little hard pressed to find meaning in this chorus. 

no, yes, no, yes. 

we're like... always like... we're like... headache.

Looks like there might be a little debriefing after this concert...

Analysis: Absence of depth in the message leads the listener to deduce an absence of depth in the messenger.

Maybe I'm not that cool after all...
