“Follow Your Arrow” simply means whatever happens, whatever you do, whatever your decisions are you just need to follow what your hearts’ desires. We all have difficulties in life, we all have hardships that we encounter day by day but certainly turn into lessons. This is exactly what Kacey Musgraves would like to inculcate us.
The first stanza says…
If you save yourself for marriage
You’re a bore
If you don’t save yourself for marriage
You’re a whore-able person
If you won’t have a drink
Then you’re a prude
But they’ll call you a drunk
As soon as you down the first one
The lyrics alone, Isn’t it that if we do something whether good or bad we’ll still be disapproved? People will still have to say. But we don’t have to depend our decisions on what people say. They will have to say anyway. We don’t have to seek approval from individuals. We don’t have to do things based on judgments.
If you can’t lose the weight
Then you’re just fat
But if you lose too much
Then you’re on crack
You’re damned if you do
And you’re damned if you don’t
So you might as well just do
Whatever you want
We just have to enjoy the things that we love, big or little. Because at the end of the day, it’s still our life and choices that matter. It’s not them that makes us who we are, it’s us that make us who we are. Ain’t that right people? We just follow our arrow.
Exactly what the lyrics say…
Make lots of noise
Kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that’s something you’re into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don’t
Just follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points
Shake off that negativity but then again embrace good vibes. It might be hard, nevertheless, if we exercise supplementing good things on a daily basis then it would be great for all of us. People around you will throw an avalanche of lies but if you learn to snub it will not affect you. Appreciate what life may bring. Love the people around you instead. Show some gratitude and compliment for it will make this world a better place to live.
If you don’t go to church
You’ll go to hell
If you’re the first one
On the front row
You’re self-righteous
Son of a-
Can’t win for losing
You’ll just disappoint ’em
Just ’cause you can’t beat ’em
Don’t mean you should join ’em
The bottom line is, happiness lies in our hearts and our souls. Goodness, Joy, and love will prevail.
