Culture Shock!

I decided to write about the lyrics to a song called "Hey Juliet" by LMNT. The chorus of the song is:
(Hey Juliet)
I think you're fine
You really blow my mind
Maybe someday, you and me can run away
I just want you to know
I wanna be your Romeo
Hey Juliet

Modern day bands like LMNT refer back to Romeo and Juliet when they write songs that have to do with love. To most people, Romeo and Juliet are the perfect examples of true lovers. In this song, they're using the iconic name Juliet, and talking about a guy who wants to be her 'Romeo', automatically thinking of the play. Overall, this song is talking about two people wanting to run away and fall in love, just like the play.
