Pearl

Of all the Katy Perry songs A is crazy about, this is my favorite. The other night, on the way to Edsa Shangri-la for an after-concert party, A decided to talk to me about this song.

"It reminds me of you, Ma."

PEARL
She is a pyramid
But with him she's just a grain of sand 
This love's too strong like mice and men
Squeezing out the life that should be let in

 She was a hurricane-cane-cane-cane
But now she's just a gust of wind 
She used to set the sails of a thousand ships
 Was a force to be reckoned with

She could be a statue of liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark
Oh, she used to be a pearl...
Ohh Yeah, she used to rule the world...
Ohh Can't believe she's become a shell of herself 
'Cause she used to be a pearl 

She was unstoppable
Moved fast just like an avalanche
But now she's stuck deep in cement
Wishing that they'd never ever met

She could be a statue of liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark
Oh, she used to be a pearl...
Ohh Yeah, she used to rule the world...
Ohh Can't believe she's become a shell of herself 
'Cause she used to be a - 

Do you know that there's a way out, 
there's a way out
there's a way out 
there's a way out
You don't have to be held down, 
be held down
be held down
 be held down

'Cause I used to be a shell
Yeah, I let him rule my world
my world, ohh, yeah
But I woke up and grew strong
And I can still go on
And no one can take my pearl

You don't have to be shell,
No You're the one that rules your world, ohh 
You are strong
and you'll learn that you can still go on
And you'll always be a pearl

She is unstoppable


So yea, this is my anthem this week. I hope you find encouragement in Katy Perry's Pearl and find the strength to find yourself again.

  1. hello kaye,

    although i think katy perry is a good singer but i feel some of her songs and performances are too lewd for kids... it might open their eyes early to sexuality. i believe it is one of the reasons why a lot of young people of our generation are led to pre-martial sex and immoral behavior.

    just saying...

  2. I actually agree! I had a lengthy discussion on Facebook with my friends about her other songs (ie. Peacock, Last Friday Night, One That Got Away, Hummingbird Heartbeat, Teenage Dream, etc).

    If you stumbled upon this entry on Facebook or Twitter, you will see that I intro'd this as "Finally, a positive song from Katy Perry!". Of all the songs she has on the Teenage Dream album, I only approve of Pearl and Fireworks. :)
