“We run things, things don’t run we”

(“We Can’t Stop”)

We’re all familiar with this one.

“Every single night and every single day / I’mma do my thang, I’mma do my thang” (“Do My Thang”)

“You can blame me for who I am” (“Maybe You’re Right”)

Just eight words, but the themes of acceptance, self-awareness, and responsibility all come through vividly.

"Envy is ignorance"

With this, Emerson is saying that if anyone is to envy their peers, they are ignorant. They are clueless to the real meaning of life. in the case of Miley Cyrus, she doesn't envy other artists. She is who she wants to be and she's not jealous of who the other pop stars around her are. No, she's not perfect, but she isn't ignorant, and she knows who she is.

Who Miley is VS. Who the world wants her to be

Miley

The World

This song (We Can't Stop) is probably also a shout out by Miley to all the people hating on Miley's new image; And while I admit she can be a little out there, she's enjoying herself. That's what this song is about.

"It's our house we can say what we want to"; meaning it's her life (our life) and we can say/do/be whoever we want to.

-"Hannah Montana"

-Sweet

-Kid friendly

-A role model

- Original

-Abnormal

-Unique

-Crazy

-Confident

"It's our party we can do what we want to

It's our house we can love who we want to

It's our song we can sing if we want to

It's my mouth I can say what I want to "

Miley Cyrus Loves To Twerk Due To Her ‘Fun Personality,’ Says Friend

Other Celebs Don't Agree

Harry Styles looked particularly unamused by Miley’s ultimate twerk-a-thon at the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 25, and now we know why! “I think it’s quite inappropriate,” Harry said when Moviefone asked him about the twerking craze. “Especially for the age groups it’s aimed at.”

“I think it’s, you know, promoting promiscuity,” Harry added.

Miley Cyrus Tweets About Twerking

With critical backlash of Miley’s VMAs performance came a tweet from her on Aug. 28 that shows what her dad thought about her performance, too. “Mile, if twerkin woulda been invented…. And I had a foam finger…. I woulda done the same thang you did.” – DAD, ” she tweeted.

Miley Cyrus: Modern Day Transcendentalism

Non-Conformity

"Imitation is suicide"

VMA Performance

“I have so many f**king issues,” Miley told The Mirror. “I am so f**ked up — everyone does dumb stuff when they’re messed up.”

"There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Self-Reliance"

Here, Emerson is saying that if someone is to copy the actions of another, it's ruining who they are. Emerson believed that you should be your own person. We shouldn't pretend to be someone else. When you imitate someone else, you're killing your individuality.

It doesn’t quite seem like Miley has any regrets about her shock-inducing award show moment. So the explanation is more likely an admission that she knows she has a wilder sense of boundaries that the general public doesn’t agree with.

In a new interview given just before the VMAs, the 20-year-old singer may have explained her performance at the VMAs on Aug. 25, and the reasoning sounds much darker than you’d think.
