✨ Examining Songs About Tragic Events
"Cassie" is a song by Flyleaf, that speaks about Cassie Bernall's story. Cassie was one of the victims in the Columbine High School massacre that occurred in 1999. The track discusses faith, courage and the power of conviction even when faced with death.
✨ Dissecting the Narrative of Courage Amidst Crisis
Flyleaf created this song based on initial reports about Cassie's tragic end during the school shooting. It was initially believed that before her demise, she had been asked if she believed in God - to which she reportedly replied "Yes", knowing full well it might lead to her death. Although later revelations indicated that it may not have been Cassicle who gave this answer, Flyleaf still made a profound commentary on belief and sacrifice through their interpretation of events as they understood them at the time.
In essence, "Cassie" tells us about an existential moment where a life hang precariously between two conflicting answers: saying yes would imply acceptance of one's faith even though it could mean imminent death while saying no could possibly secure survival but contradict deep-seated beliefs.
It further paints a picture of solidarity-bordering-on-heroism whereby others may find strength in choosing faith over fear just like 'Casssle did (according to initial accounts). Hence the lyrics wherein states: “How many will die? I will die”, suggesting willingness to bear witness for one’s belief regardless of fatal circumstances.
