SKYSCRAPER


The song Skyscraper by Demi Lovato is a very inspirational song. With all Demi has been through with her career, and personal problems she is still trying to inspire her fans to rise above everything and be a "skyscraper".

"You can take everything I have" is from her song, I believe this quote is important to me in the song because of her show Sonny With Chance is no longer showing and changed to So Random. The problems Demi had were mainly from bullying which we discuss a lot about in school but, it's different when we see a celebrity, and role model facing trouble with it. Demi went into a depression where she cut herself and had an eating disorder. Demi took a big step by herself when she checked HERSELF into rehab. I believe this is a big deal because everyone says the first step in fixing something is recognizing you have a problem and her checking herself in shows she has a problem and knows she has the problem. 

"Go on and try to tear me down" also from her song show how the media is attempting to make her seem like she is no longer worth anything because of the problems she has/had. "All my windows still are broken but I'm standing on my feet" shows that she still has some problems but, they are not as bad as they once were. 

Though the entire song is inspirational the most meaningful quote I think is "I will be rising from the ground like a skyscraper".  The reason for this is although we go through hard times and don't always make the best choices we can always rise up and above the problems we experience.
