Sacrafice for Love

Hi again. Ok so up until now you have heard three songs that are a little old but still fit the context of the play, right? Well this next song is relitevly new and was released in the end of September, 2010 by my personal favorite, Bruno Mars. The song is called Grenade and I still can't stop listening to it lol.  Here it is:

Grenade Lyrics:
Easy come, easy go,
That's just how you live, oh,
Take, take, take it all,
But you never give.
Should've known you was trouble
From the first kiss,
Had your eyes wide open.
Why were they open?


Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash,
You tossed it in the trash, you did.
To give me all your love is all I ever asked, 'cause
What you don't understand is


[Chorus]
I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh, I would go through all of this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain!
Yes, I would die for ya, baby,
But you won't do the same.


No, no no


Black, black, black and blue, beat me 'til I'm numb,
Tell the devil I said "hey" when you get back to where you're from.
Mad woman, bad woman, that's just what you are,
Yeah, you'll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash,
You tossed it in the trash, yes you did.
To give me all your love is all I ever asked, 'cause
What you don't understand is


[Chorus]
I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh, I would go through all of this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain!
Yes, I would die for ya, baby,
But you won't do the same.


If my body was on fire,
Ooh, you'd watch me burn down in flames.
You said you loved me, you're a liar, 'cause you never, ever, EVER did, baby!
[Chorus]
But, darling I'd still catch a grenade for ya! (yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh, I would go through all of this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain!
Yes, I would die for ya, baby,
But you won't do the same.
No, you won't do the same
You wouldn't do the same
Ooh, you'd never do the same
Ohh, no no no

Although the whole song is good, only the first part of the chorus makes sense for A Doll's House. In my last blog, I was talking about how Mrs. Linden left the love of her life, Krogstad, to go marry a richer man in order to take care of her family. But not long after, her husband died and she once again found herself by Krogstad. In the play, there was a part when Mrs. Linden was willing to do anything and "risk everything" for Krogstad, just like what Bruno Mars is saying in his song when he sings, "I'd catch a grenade for ya, Throw my hand on a blade for ya, I'd jump in front of a train for ya, You know I'd do anything for ya, Oh, oh, I would go through all of this pain, Take a bullet straight through my brain! Yes, I would die for ya, baby". Though this may be going to extremes, the message is still the same. Bruno Mars is saying that he will do anything for the one he loves, just like Mrs. Linden was willing to do anything for Krogstad.
