Musical Mayhem for the Soul

Jon Bon Jovi has been a female heartthrob since his early days. He has several hits that have topped the charts throughout the decades. Most of his music is very classy and sentimental while others have been called racy.

Now if you're a fan of Bon Jovi, you've seen the music video to his hit Always. He wrote that himself! If you've watched the video you'll notice that the relationship in it goes wrong on many different levels, but is that truly what the song is about? You'll find the lyrics to the song and the video at the bottom of this post, all rights to Mr. Bon Jovi of course.

It's time to give our take on what the lyrics to this song truly stand for, a breakdown if you please.

"This Romeo is bleeding

But you can't see his blood

It's nothing but some feelings

That this old dog kicked up"

The above is the first part of the song. It merely states that he is "Romeo" and his heart is bleeding, but it's not real blood. Then it's followed by ... it's nothing, just my feelings that he brought up. That basically sums that up.

"It's been rainin' since you left me

Now I'm drownin' in the flood

You see I've always been a fighter

But without you I'll give up"

Normally when you lose a love, it seems like depression takes over and everything is rainy, gloomy, and just depressing. When you figure out you cant get over that person so easily, it's like a down pour. This is what Bon Jovi tried to portray in his lyrics. The second stance in this, that he's always been a fighter means he had a reason worth fighting for having his love at his side, but without her he doesnt wish to move further in life but just give up. We can all relate to a lost love that we just felt we couldnt move on without. Well, we did!

He continues into the next verse with explaining that he cant sing a love song like it's meant to be, probably because he's crying and an emotional wreck inside because of the rocky relationship. If you've watched the video, possibly because he made some pretty bad choices and had the lower hand when the relationship went south.
