He began writing lyrics as a small child while "people watching" in his mom and pop's family diner. That is to say, when he wasn't working and helping his mom and pop at the diner as a cook, dishwasher, waiter or cashier! In those days, he always had a pad of paper, loose-leaf sheet, or even a napkin to feverishly write down lyrics. As technology evolved, his iPhone, iPad, and computer have gladly become the recipients of those lyrics. Do you have any idea how long it took to digitize all those songs??

Sarantos love of music is profound. His lyrics express his love of people and the world around him. While life is fraught with many challenges, it also offers many blessings. His songs span an entire spectrum of emotion. And lest he take himself too seriously, Sarantos has a pretty wicked sense of humor. You may recognize this in some of his more lighthearted lyrics, facebook or twitter posts, and even in a random music video or two...
Whether a particular song or lyric is deep, serious or lighthearted, most people would agree that it is something they can relate to as people of this planet.

Please enjoy Sarantos music...

We Accept the Love We Think We Deserve

We Accept The Love We Think We Deserve

As the day comes to a close
Another sad day gone by
Wish I was on the beach in Mykonos
Instead of living this life

You're on the outside looking in

You ask me why I won't leave
Seems obvious to all who know me
This relationship is not for me

1

We accept the love we think we deserve
In my life I've made so many mistakes
And somewhere along the way
I lost my faith after all these heartaches

It doesn't seem quite so bad to me
Getting yelled at daily
I do it for reasons others just can't believe
I take the abuse so easily

I sit emotionless, I look so strange
Thru the words, the bruises and the blame
My body language just doesn't change
And my reasons stay the same

2

We accept the love we think we deserve
In my life I've made so many mistakes
And somewhere along the way
I lost my faith after all these heartaches

Solo

I've lost my way
I've lost my way
I've lost my way
I've lost my way

3

We accept the love we think we deserve
In my life I've made so many mistakes
And somewhere along the way
I lost my faith after all these heartaches

Extro

We accept the love
I accept the love
We accept the love
Do you accept the love?

We accept the love
I accept the love

We accept the love
Do you accept the, love?

Overall Meaning

Sarantos’s song "We Accept the Love We Think We Deserve" explores a tough topic of relationships in a modern society where the abuse of all sorts is not rare. Through the melancholic melody of the song, Sarantos captures the essence of staying in relationships where we accept less than we deserve due to the lack of self-worth, love or feeling of deserving better.

The song describes a person, possibly in an abusive relationship, who feels lost and trapped, accepting the abuse as a norm, a commodity of their daily life. The lyrics reveal how the victim perceives the situation as less severe as it should be due to their perception of their worth, and how they accept the abuse because it is what they think they deserve. The chorus repeats the message that we tend to accept the type of love that corresponds to the value we put on ourselves.

Sarantos’s song "We Accept the Love We Think We Deserve" explores an important and upsetting aspect of modern relationships. It speaks to those who feel trapped and not valued enough to leave, in situations where they are often abused and mistreated. It carries a message of self-empowerment, encouraging listeners to not accept less than what they deserve, neither from themselves nor their partners.
