| The Meaning Behind the Song |
| ||||||
The Turtle Song (Today, Yesterday, Manitoba) is a song that I wrote during the second term of this school year. The exact date and time of the writing of this song is temporarily unknown, however I do remember that the production of it took place on one of those crazy two-third days. The song is about people who go to extremes to try to find something important in his or her life. Whether it be a family member that they lost contact with or simply some type of love, as the song itself brings out. In a world where standards and practices are decided by pop culture, we are supposed to have a significant other, whether that other is significant or not. A great example of this is dating websites. As technology spurs forward, the need for human contact seems to get less and less important. This has been escalated by websites such as Match.com and eHarmony.com, which has caused people to become more apt to sitting in front of their respective computer screens and chat with somebody who could quite possibly be millions of miles away. These people who “fall in love” over the internet, or “the turtle,” may travel those millions of miles, or “swim down the Manitoba,” in order to be with the one that they have simply talked to through the magic of text. Before online dating services came into play, people could simply go into chat rooms and ask for the “ASL” (age, sex, location) of anybody in particular and get completely false information. The seventeen year old blonde model that you are talking to could quite possibly be a forty year old mother with too much time on her hands. Inversely, the thirty-three year old male who the young woman has developed a crush for is most likely a sixty-four year old overweight, balding male with only two teeth and a bad cocaine habit. Rarely, if ever, will these relationships work. Most of the time, the feds will get involved and the relationship will faze into a state of restraining orders. Certainly, the person searching for this relationship by way of the internet will “never find what they were looking for today.” However, the turtle will still look for the long lost love that they so deeply want to have. They may be murdered in the process, causing the mother to cry, but that is the price the turtle will pay for searching for it’s love. Certainly, no remorse can be felt for the turtle who thought it would be a good idea to visit it’s sixty-four year old, overweight, balding male with only two teeth and a bad cocaine habit. If there wasn’t any type of thought in the turtle’s head that it wasn’t a good idea to go visit the “Thirty-three year old male who has posed several times in Abercrombie advertisements. No, really, he’s shown them to me,” no action can be taken but to write a song about said moron turtles and their stupid ways. |
