Maps - Maroon 5



Another great song by Maroon 5. I swear I'm not sure why I used to hate them so much in high school. Possibly because Adam Levine wasn't super hot just yet. Anyway, the video for this song is a little bit more intense than theirs normally are, and it has an Irreversible theme to it. All it needed was a rape scene and a pregnancy test to psychologically scar millions of fans.

May induce psychological scarring.

As I understand the lyrics, this is about two people in a relationship, but one is sort of never there for the other. But the other keeps going back to them. Because...fate? Lack of self-respect? Dat ass? Who can say. If Kelly Clarkson were singing this, it would definitely end with an inspirational "I'm better off without you". And of course Carrie Underwood would kick the shit out of his car. But Adam Levine is just like, "Ain't nothin' I can do!" Why are the pretty ones so dumb? So yeah, the song is actually much more uplifting while accompanied by the video.

And then there's that part that reminds me of Leslie Knope..."But on that road I took a fall, oh baby why did you run away?" Hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa......I've been watching too much Parks & Rec.
