Obvious and beautiful. She’s just tired of all the rumors about herself and wants to tell everyone her personal life is hers, not theirs. life goes on and everyone should mind their own business.
I liked it sooo much!!! She absolutely is the best! She’s being herself and it’s GREAT!

It’s about criticism and how she just ignores it. Maybe if she actually showed that she’s dancing on her own and making up the moves as she goes in a video, then we would see it.

Meaning 3

This song says don’t rely on people’s opinions and don’t devote yourself to satisfying everyone………because it just won’t happen!

Elton John – Candle in the Wind

Candle in the Wind is a tribute to Marilyn Monroe, reflecting on her life and her untimely death. The lyrics express the idea that despite her immense fame and success, she was alone and never found true solace. The singer expresses a sort of regret for never having the opportunity to get to know her. The metaphor of the candle in the wind represents the fragility and transience of life, and how Marilyn’s life was extinguished too soon, before her legend ever lived up to its potential.
