Under Pressure

Story Behind The Song

As a first year student in sixth grade at the middle school Emily had some obstacles to overcome. First one was with a teacher who gave Emily a hard time. Emily was so stressed at the thought of making any mistakes during this particular class thus provoking the teacher to raise her voice at Emily. Emily second obstacle was unfortunately bullying. She was being bullied by a classmate for her new friendship with a girl. Having both of these experiences Emily wanted to write a song about being put "Under Pressure" at school and with frienships. Emily feels many young adolescents will be able to identify with the lyrics of this song.

Lyrics

Your in my head
Creating so much stress
Reaching my boiling point
You made me feel so incompetent
Always a disappointment in your eyes
Got my pen to the pad
Feeling so so sad
Learning is always on your terms
No need to be so firm


Under Pressure
So Under Pressure, Yea Yea
Can't take it no more
You've made my world a mess
Needing to decompress
Under Pressure
So Under Pressure, Yea, Yea
Have to let it all out
Feeling like I am going to implode
Just say it isn't so


Your daily presence
Caused a lack of attendence
I will never abandon my dreams
Nor lose my self esteem
Whatever it takes
Rebounding from all the mistakes
Some people are not meant to teach
Step down, back off and walk away
Its your time to be dismissed today

Under Pressure
So Under Pressure, Yea Yea
Can't take it no more
You've made my world a mess
Needing to decompress
Under Pressure
So Under Pressure, Yea, Yea
Have to let it all out
Feeling like I am going to implode
Just say it isn't so

Just under pressure
Can't take it no more
It's time that I fled
So I can end this war
Becoming stronge and having power
Flourishing like a colorful flower


Under Pressure
So Under Pressure, Yea Yea
Can't take it no more
You've made my world a mess
Needing to decompress
Under Pressure
So Under Pressure, Yea, Yea
Have to let it all out
Feeling like I am going to implode
Just say it isn't so
