SONGS ABOUT NARCISSists are a growing trend in popular music, and one of the earliest and most compelling examples of this genre is the song “Anonymous.” Featuring a pathologically lying narcissist, it’s an honest and raw expose. The song is a stream of consciousness.
Lesley Gore
Lesley Gore was one of the first public figures to sing about women’s independence. She wrote “You Don’t Own Me” in 1963, and it has since become an anthem for women who are controlled by narcissists. The song has been used in films from the 90s and 2000s.
The song tackles the question of female independence in romantic relationships, and it was a hit for the Women’s Liberation Movement. It was Gore’s last top-ten hit. The lyrics of “I’m Not Controlled Anymore” are also a powerful message to a narcissist.
While the lyrics are entertaining, they also highlight the nature of narcissistic behavior. While narcissists may smile in their faces, they betray their relationships and wreck havoc. In one song, Lesley Gore sings about the pain of losing a friend or a lover. In another, she sings about the lessons she learned after the breakup of a relationship.
Demi Lovato
Demi Lovato is a famous singer who has been dealing with self-addiction issues for quite some time. She has appeared in movies such as Camp Rock and Barney & Friends. She has also struggled with bipolar disorder and cocaine addiction. As a result, she has undergone a month-long rehab program. Her rep also revealed that Demi is checking on her own mental health on a regular basis.
She has never shied away from talking about her past relationship with her father and his struggles with drugs. In fact, the pop star is even more forthcoming in the latest album Confident. In a song called “Father,” Demi sings about her late father. She recalls how she felt when her dad died.
Another song titled “Narcissist” has mixed meanings. Critics say it’s a break-up song, while the singer says it’s about abandoning a self-destructive habit like drug addiction. Drug addiction can cause many mental health problems, including depression and irritability.
Carly Simon
The songs that Carly Simon sings are often about narcissism. This self-centered attitude is common among many people. A narcissist can be difficult to love, but that doesn’t mean that love can’t be found. The lyrics in her song You’re So Vain are a good example of this. Simon describes the character in the song as having one eye in a mirror and watching her “gavotte.”
In 1972, Simon wrote a song called “You’re So Vain,” a song that describes the traits of a narcissist. The song is about a narcissist’s need to make everything about themselves. In the song, Simon sings about the need to be the center of attention.
The song was produced by Quincy Jones, and has been featured in several movies. It’s an anthem to the woman who won’t be controlled anymore, and a message to the person who’s made her life hell. Some of the songs are confessions, while others accuse the narcissist of making a victim’s life miserable.
The narcissistic former lover in Simon’s song “You’re So Vain” is a perfect example of this behavior. The singer has never publicly disclosed the identity of her ex-lover, but the songwriter revealed decades later that the character was actually a composite of three men from her LA days. The song was such a hit that Carly Simon received nominations for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. It was also inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse’s music has a complicated cultural history and is rife with racial mimicry. Her work traces the politics of sonic blue(s)face culture, a form of performance pioneered by black female entertainers in the early twentieth century.
Amy Winehouse has been through a lot in her life. As a child, she was depressed and often drank heavily. She even plotted to leave home when she was still young. She craved boundaries and stability when she was growing up, but was not given them.
The lyrics of “Rehab” were written by Winehouse herself. The song, which was released as the lead single from her Back to Black album, reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart and number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has been covered by various artists, including Lea Salonga, Seether, and the Jamaican mento band The Jolly Boys.
During her early career, Amy Winehouse had several affairs. She was a bulimic and promiscuous, and these issues became staples of London tabloids. She also cancelled important tours and got into a few scrapes with authorities. Her tragic death resulted from alcohol poisoning. Her mercurial personality led to a lot of derision. She was targeted by late night hosts and made the target of vicious jokes.
Kanye West
Kanye West has a tendency to take his own convictions and turn them into a North Star. While that may feel good, it lacks any nutritional value. His new album Yeezus is a stark reminder that West is far from perfect. However, despite its shortcomings, Yeezus is a worthy listen.
‘Started From the Bottom’ is one such song. The 2007 Grammy-nominated song boasts about reckless behavior and mentions a dream of buying one’s way to heaven. The lyrics also refer to a narcissistic narrator. This is reminiscent of R.E.M.’s song of the same name.
While ‘The Life of Pablo’ is more successful than most of West’s previous albums, it still contains traces of narcissistic tendencies. Some people see these in a positive light. On the other hand, some people see Kanye West as a maniac, someone with too much ambition. However, it is unclear if ‘The Life of Pablo’ is a self-help manual for narcissistic behavior.
Although West hasn’t been formally diagnosed with narcissism, he has released several songs that are in part about the condition. One of his recent songs, “Sweetheart,” describes a woman who considers herself the sweetheart of her best friend. In fact, she seems to be obsessed with her best friend. The lyrics also describe the narrator as being obsessed with her friend, a trait that is common among narcissists.
Art Alexakis
Art Alexakis sings songs about a narcissist and his family. He is the frontman for the band Everclear. As a child, he was abandoned by his father. His family would often remind him of this story. At one point, when the family was traveling up the Pacific Coast Highway, the song “Wipe Out” came on the radio. The song’s lyrics described how his father had abandoned his family.
While growing up, Alexakis struggled with drugs and alcohol. He had several run-ins with the law. He was almost killed by an overdose in 1984. He eventually quit using drugs and alcohol and began pursuing music full time. During this time, he also became a road manager for other musicians.
Since then, Alexakis has found recovery. He stopped IV drug use in 1984 and stopped drinking altogether in 1989. Since then, he has prioritized his health and recovery. He also has a young daughter. He has a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, which he has had for 10 to 20 years. Having two children and a chronic illness doesn’t make it easy for him to pull together a record like Sun Songs, which has a lot of emotional content.
Britney Spears
Britney Spears has been playing a game. For years, she’s worn provocative outfits and played the innocent naif while wearing a rubber corset. Now, she’s taking the game to the next level, singing songs about narcism. In this video, she sings in a different voice register. It’s more potent and less forced than her usual voice. The videos were recorded at Britney’s home in dim lights. She says she has been wanting to do this for over 14 years.
Spears has become a sexual icon early in her career, but this popularity led to criticism of her appearance and the media’s obsession with her physique. She was also heavily condemned for her wild, young lifestyle. “Piece of Me” is a song that slams the media and paparazzi for harassing her. The song continues the theme of female strength and defies 1960s notions about women’s bodies.
The song has mixed meanings. Some say it was written as a breakup song, while others say it’s about abandoning a self-destructive addiction. Both alcohol and drugs can impact a person’s mental health.
