Right Reasons

Lena's song 'Right Reasons' delves into the complexities of love, fear, and healing. The lyrics open with a poignant reflection on the singer's past, specifically the emotional impact of her father's departure. This event left a deep scar, instilling a fear of abandonment that haunts her relationships. The line 'I blame it on my father / When he walked out, somethin' deep inside me shattered' sets the stage for a narrative of vulnerability and the struggle to trust again.

The song transitions into a more hopeful tone as Lena describes meeting someone who helps her confront her fears. This person becomes a source of strength, holding hands with her weaknesses and helping her piece her life back together. The chorus, 'I wanna stay, -ay, -ay / 'Cause even though I'm scared, I / I know that you'll be there,' captures the essence of finding a love that feels safe and genuine. It's a love that encourages her to stay, not out of fear or dependency, but for the right reasons.

Interestingly, the song also touches on the partner's struggles, suggesting that they too have their own fears and insecurities, possibly stemming from their relationship with their father. This mutual understanding and shared vulnerability create a deeper connection between them. The repeated refrain 'For the right reasons' emphasizes the importance of staying in a relationship for love and mutual support, rather than out of fear or comfort. Lena's heartfelt lyrics and emotive delivery make 'Right Reasons' a powerful exploration of love's healing potential and the courage it takes to stay committed despite past traumas.
