An Attempt at a Laugh

Easy come, easy go
That's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all,
But you never give
Should of known you was trouble from the first kiss,
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
I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all 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, no
Black, black, black and blue beat me till 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 breaks 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
I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all 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...
But darling I’ll still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all 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’ll never do the same,
No, no, no, no

In my first reading of the lyrics, I immediately thought "you're gonna look messed up after that grenade goes off." When I bothered to think about it,  I started to think maybe each of the ways that he'd sacrifice himself had something to do with an event from the past, but then I thought "this is Bruno Mars," causing  me to give up the idea. My interpretation was that Bruno Mars would do anything for you. The lyrics suggest that this is a romantic relationship. He probably got dumped, and has spent his time thinking about getting hit by a train in a music video. But really. My guess is that Mars is lovesick, and the case seems to only be one-sided. This could have occurred on Valentine's Day because it seems like he is buying her gifts, and Valentine's Day is a day to spoil your sweethearts (when exactly is sweetest day so I can expect to be spoiled?). In short. Maybe a divorce possibly. Most likely one lacking love.

"Ay Victor"

Life on the reservation seemed rather "over-populated" in the movie (extreme case of sarcasm). You saw the traffic. I would just lose it if I had to wait that long to get where i wanted. Life on the reservation in general seems to only be a place where solely oppressed Native Americans lived. Apparently they ate a lot of pan (spanish for bread). They even enjoyed growing their hair out so you couldn't figure out whether they were a guy or a female. What else..... They seemed to also inherit.......... interesting traits (Ex: Thomas's smile).

According to Montana 1948, the Indians were quiet, and "dominated" by the "white man" (2 meanings to this: 1 school appropriate. The other not so much). The Indians represented the poor inhabitants of society, as well as the group with the weakest representation. In both situations, the Native Americans had to work with the materials they had. In addition, they possessed strong ties to one another.
