(just for fun) who's this song from? and explain the message of this song.

dirty tissues, trust issues

glasses on the sink, they didn't fix you

lonely pillows in a strangers bed

little voices in my head

secret keeping, stop the bleeding

lost a little weight because i wasn't eating

all the songs that i can't listen to, to tell the truth

loving you was young, and wild, and free

loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet

loving you was sunshine, safe and sound

a steady place to let down my defenses

but loving you had consequences
hesitation, awkward conversation
running on low expectation
every siren that i was ignoring
i'm payin' for it
loving you was young, and wild, and free
loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet
loving you was sunshine, safe and sound
a steady place to let down my defenses
but loving you had consequences

Read this excerpt from "the light of gandhi's lamp" by hilary kromberg inglis, in which she describes driving to the police station where her sister is being detained. to avoid looking at the blackened windows at the top of the building and thinking about the history of who had died or been tortured there, i always looked instead at the little chinese restaurant on the opposite side of the road. how does this passage affect the text? it conveys, with great subtlety, the conflict she felt over having a sister who would break the law and end up in the custody of the police. it conveys, without any implied moral judgment, that those who fought against apartheid considered themselves to be soldiers in a just war. it conveys, with an extended metaphor, the idea that being detained by the police in this society was regarded as a badge of honor. it conveys, with direct language, the view held by many anti-apartheid activists that the police often acted in brutal and unlawful ways.
