Today is 3rd August, and its friendship’s day, I take this opportunity to write something about friendship, by as usual referring to a song. This time the song of the day is Kryptonite, by the famous band 3 doors down.
Lyrics of the song
This song captured my attention when i was a teen, and it was the first song which got me into hard rock
music, and also subsequently into the band 3 doors down. In this world, friends are those people who carry you forward, make you feel wanted, and inshort make you happy. This song is specifically I think tailored made for friendship day. It is actually a conversation between 2 people, who are friends and it speaks about how their friendship grew in this selfish world. This life is designed in such a way rather, this world is made in such a way that it “troubles” your mind, you feel like walking off alone in this world so that you can “ease your pain”. But unfortunately, sometimes walking alone is not an opinion, and it is difficult to be alone. You will realize how important it is to have someone to share your thoughts with, and from there comes dear friendship. When in your life, you’re in trouble or when you’re at your lowest point, this world goes into the “dark side of moon”. And only then you realize that how difficult it is to survive alone on this “dark side”. It is this song doesn’t talk about this, rather it speaks about how sometimes you need to go “beyond you call of duty” to save someone who cares about you. But the whole thing about this friendship is that it has its own highs and lows, good times and bad times, sometimes unintentionally you do things that hurt your friends, but then it is at this time your friendship is tested, it is at this time you see the value of your friendship. Hurting people who care about you, is not a good thing, and these things happen unintentionally, because they are inevitable, but it is when you go “crazy” when you find out whether the person who cares about you worthy to be called your “Superman(friend)”. But it is not always in your hard times you need friends, you also need friends when you’re “alive and well” rather when you are happy. The real test for friendship is when the whole tide is against you, and how well you protect your friend/friends with your “Superhuman- kryptonite” is the real deal about friendship.

The second verse
As I said before, friendship has its own highs and lows, at some times in your life you need to help your friend when he/she is “weak”, and you need to be “strong”. Well there are times when you share your darkest secrets with your friends, and they share their “secrets” with you, and it is your responsibility to keep these secrets hidden and that tells you the strength of your friendship. Mistakes committed never go on one way, they go both the ways, and it is from these mistakes, when you learn to keep your friendship properly, when you learn to not take it “for granted”. For if it had not being for such situations, when you picked up your friend “back on solid grounds”, there would never be any friendship at all. Friendship involves helping your friend and keeping him rather making him/her stand his/her ground during these times of crisis.
The main chorus!!!!
So let’s remember this day, when you respect and admire friends as “supermen and superwomen”, who helped you hold your ground in times of your crisis, and also be their supermen and superwomen who help them keep their feet on solid ground during their bad times. Wishing all my friends and friends all over the world a very happy friendship day!!!!
