Insincere Song Lyrics:
"If Only"
The Insincere Lyrics: I wanna need you
'cause I need to be with you till the end Why They're Insincere: Taylor doesn't say "he needs her": he says "wants to need her". If we take this literally, he is saying that he wants to become a crippled, so he he will literally need her to assist him until he dies. Is there a chance that he actually meant it? No. So the lyrics are insincere.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:
"Running Man"
The Lyrics: Life isn't what it seems
Or something in a dream That's not quite what i mean I need to say goodbye You think i didn't try I'm not that other guy I'm feeling so sad Too bad for the running man Cause he waits too long so he can't Come back again Too bad for the running man Cause I'm right here waiting to help That girl forget Too bad for the running man goodbye Why: It's a very upbeat song but it's about a guy who likes a girl who is still hung up on a cheating guy (hence "running man")
Submitted by: Annie
| "Mmmbop"
The Lyrics: You have your many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last You're going through all the pain and strife Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast So hold on to the ones who really care In the end they'll be the only ones there When you get old and start losing your hair Can you tell me who will still care? Why: Hanson's breakout hit was an uptempo, very danceable song with a catchy chorus. However, if you listen closely to the lyrics, you discover that the song's really an ode to fleeting relationships/friendships, which is kind of a downer.
