Song Analysis 3

Nickelback is a band with an abundance of talent and make their fans go wild. The band originated in Hanna, Alberta. Its name originates from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his Starbucks job, he would frequently say, "Here's your nickel back”. The first song that they released, “How You Remind Me", was a huge success, peaking at #1 on both the American and Canadian charts at the same time. It became the single of the year for 2002. In September 2008, Roadrunner Records announced that the first single from their upcoming album was originally going to be "If Today Was Your Last Day" and was to be released September 30, 2008.But, Instead, "Gotta Be Somebody" served as the lead single instead. The song “Gotta Be Somebody” is meaningful and gets across to a lot of Nickelback’s fans.
There are some poetic devices in the song “Gotta Be Somebody”. Figurative Language is used in the song. A line from the song says, “The moment when we’re meeting will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen”. Obviously the moment won’t be straight off a silver screen, so he is over exaggerating. Another line in the song where figurative language is used is when it says, “So I’ll be holding my breath right up to the end until the moment when I find the one I spend forever with”. He really is not going to hold his breath until that time, which shows he is just saying that to get the point across that he is very eager to meet ‘the one’. In the song, there is also alliteration used. One line in the song says, “Feels the same somewhere”. Same somewhere both start with ‘s’, and they are close together in the line. Another example of alliteration is “`Cause it could be the one, the one you’re waiting on”. In this line, “`cause” and “could” are forms of alliteration even though they are not right next to each other. There are many forms of poetic devices in the song “Gotta Be Somebody”.
This song has a lot of meaning in it. Its great that Nickelback wrote a song about getting up and going out to find your soul mate. It persuades people to stop waiting around and go find them yourself, and be determined because if Nickelback can do it, then you can. The secret to getting people to be happy is to say in the song “There's gotta be somebody for me like that”, as if Nickelback is willing and impatient to find that special someone. It makes people actually want to have someone to love, as the song says, “Someone to love with my life in their hands”. When the song talks about nobody wanting to be alone, it gets people thinking, ‘you know, I don’t.’ The song states, “Cause nobody wants to do it all on their own, and everyone wants to know they're not alone”. This is 100% true because pretty much no one wants to be lonely. Nickelback switches from talking about people in general and using words like “nobody”, to talking about himself as a person in the world meeting his girl. It says, “Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight and damn it this feels too right, it's just like déjà vu me standing here with you”. These parts of the song show him dreaming about when he meets the right one for him. But, it switches back and forth to lines like “You can't give up, looking for a diamond in the rough”, where he tells his fans to do what he is doing and don’t give up hope. In all, the song is about finding the one for you, just like what Nickelback is dreaming of.
In conclusion, this song gets people thinking and acting, which is what Nickelback’s brilliant ideas wanted to achieve. This song falls under love in alternative because the song is about finding the one you love and craving that attention and love from another person who cares for you. When people listen to this song, it persuades you to do what your heart tells you, no matter who you are. It is telling them to find someone who you can trust with your life. The song lets them know there is someone for everyone. Nickelback has been around since 1996, and they will continue to bring their fans to a standing ovation at every concert in the future.

Short Story

I Don't Care by Fall Out Boy

Say my name, and his in the same breath, I
Dare you to say they taste the same
Let the leaves fall off in the summer
And let December glow feel flames

Brace myself and let go
Start it over again in Mexico
These friends, they don’t love you
They just love the hotel suites, now

I don’t care what you think
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Oh take a chance, let your body get a tolerance
I’m not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants
Pull a breath like another cigarette,
Pawn Shop, I’m trading ‘em .. trading ‘em

I’m the oracle in my chest
Let the guitar scream like a fascist
Sweat it out, shut your mouth,
Free love on the streets, but
In the alley and I ain’t that cheap, now

I don't care what you think
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery
I don’t care what you think
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Said-a, I don’t care just a-what you think,
As long as it’s about me, you said-a
I don’t care just what you think,
As long as it’s about me, you said-a
I don’t care (I don’t care)
You said I don’t care (I don’t care)
Said I (I) don’t (don't) care,
I (I) don't (don't) care
I don’t care (I don’t care),
I said-a
I
don’t
care

I don’t care what you think
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery
I don’t care what you think
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Song Analysis Lyrics

Gotta be Somebody- Nickelback

This time
I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren’t enough
So I’ll be waiting for the real thing
I know it by the feeling
The moment when we’re meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen

So I`ll be holdin’ my breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I spend forever with

`Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
‘Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There`s gotta be somebody for me like that
`Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they’re not alone
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there

Tonight out on the street out in the moonlight
And damn it this feels too right
It’s just like Deja Vu
Me standin’ here with you

So I’ll be holdin`my breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I spend forever with?

‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
‘Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There’s gotta be somebody for me like that
`Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they’re not alone
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there

You can’t give up
Lookin’ for that diamond in the rough
Because you never know when it shows up
Make sure you’re holdin` on
‘Cause it could be the one, the one you’re waiting on

‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
‘Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There has gotta be somebody for me
Ohhhh

Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they’re not alone
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There `s gotta be somebody for me out there
Nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There has gotta be somebody for me out there

Political/Social Problems Song #2

Daughters-John Mayer

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart
On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Political/Social Problems Song #1

Killing in the Name- Rage Against the Machine

RATM's political views may be somewhat jurastic, but thier politically charged lyrics are what made them famous. This song by the infamous band Rage Against the Machine talks about how so many men are in power in the USA (and other nations) and how they abuse the power that they basically got from the people. It also speaks up about the KKK and how black males live up to the Sterotype that they aren't worth much hense the "and now you do what they told ya" part. This song could also be more about people who belive and follow one set of morals but do the opposite, and just the general hypocracy of the gov. This song especially talks about the KKK and compairs them with military leaders, "some of those that run forces, are th same that burn crosses". "run forces"=military leaders, "burn crosses"=KKK. In the song, it also says "now you do what they told ya", and its also talking about the control religion has over people and also how it affects them in forms of racism.

Killing in the name of

Some of those that work forces,
are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces,

Huh!
Killing in the name of
Killing in the name of

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
But now you do what they told ya
Well now you do what they told ya

Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites

Some of those that work forces,
are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces,
are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces,
are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces,
are the same that burn crosses

Uggh!
Killing in the name of
Killing in the name of

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya

Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites

Come on!
Yeah
Come on!

F*** you, I won't do what you tell me
F*** you, I won't do what you tell me
F*** you, I won't do what you tell me
F*** you, I won't do what you tell me

Imagery Song

Angels and Airwaves by Love Like Rockets

I held my head as I left the ground,
The belts grew tight as the blast grew loud,
A loving wish whispered in my ear,
Please leave with grace, all the best my dear,
Yeah, it's like
I held your hand as I pulled you in,
Your lips sealed tight ready to begin,
I kissed you first, then you kissed my ear,
If I ask you once, will you ask me every year
Do you feel alive? (Imagine, Imagine)
Do you feel alive? (Imagine, Imagine)
The sun, it'd set in the nighttime sky
The stars they'd cast a glow upon my eyes
The earth itself, a burning ball of light,
Yeah, it's like
And our first love was ignited late that night
Do you feel alive? (Imagine, Imagine)
Do you feel alive? (Imagine, Imagine)
The stars in your eyes, light up the sky
with gods light, fire and sound (x6)


Love Is Blind by Eve

Hey, yo I don't even know you and I hate you
See all I know is that my girlfriend used to date you
How would you feel if she held you down and raped you?
Tried and tried, but she never could escape you
She was in love and I'd ask her how?
I mean why?W
hat kind of love from a n**** would black your eye?
What kind of love from a n**** every night make you cry?
What kind of love from a n**** make you wish he would die?
I mean s*** he bought you things and gave you diamond rings
But them things wasn't worth none of the pain that he brings
And you stayed, what made you fall for him?
That n**** had the power to make you crawl for him
I thought you was a doctor be on call for him
Smacked you down cause he said you was too tall for him, huh?
That wasn't love, babygirl you was dreamin'
I could have killed you when you said your seed was growin' from his semen

Love is blind, and it will take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find

I don't even know you and I'd kill you myself
You played with her like a doll and put her back on the shelf
Wouldn't let her go to school and better herself
She had a baby by your ass and you ain't giving no help
Uh-huh big time hustler, snake mother******
One's born everyday and everyday she was your sucker
How could you beat the mother of your kids?
How could you tell her that you love her?
Don't give a f*** she lives
She told me she would leave you, I admit it she did
But came back, made up a lie about you missing your kids
Sweet kisses, baby ain't even know she was your mistress
Had to deal with fist fights and phone calls from your b******
Lke you possess her, tellin' me to mind my business
Said that it was her life and stay the f*** out of it
I tried and said just for him I'll keep a ready clip

I don't even know you and I want you dead
Don't know the facts but I saw the blood pour from her head
See I laid down beside her in the hospital bed
And about two hours later, doctors said she was dead
Had the nerve to show up at her mother's house the next day
To come and pay your respects and help the family pray
Even knelt down on one knee and let a tear drop
And before you had a chance to get up
You heard my gun cock
Prayin' to me now, I ain't God but I'll pretend
I ain't start your life but n**** imma bring it to an end
And I did, clear shots and no regrets, never
Cops comin' lock me under the jail
N**** whatever my b****, f*** it my sister
You could never figure out even if I let you live
What our love was all about
I considered her my blood and it don't come no thicker


Face Down by The Red Jumpsuit Apparattus

Hey girl, you know you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down
Cover up with make-up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now
As she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you, my friend
One day, this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down
A new life she has found

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down
I see the way you go and say you're right again
Say you're right again
Heed my lecture
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now
As she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you, my friend
One day, this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down
A new life she has found

Face down in the dirt
She said this doesn't hurt
She said
I've finally had enough
Face down in the dirt
She said this doesn't hurt
She said
I've finally had enough

One day she will tell you that she has enough
It's coming round again

Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now
As she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you, my friend
One day, this world's going end
As your lies crumble down
A new life she has found

Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now
As she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you, my friend
One day, this world's going end
As your lies crumble down
A new life she has found

Face down in the dirt
She said this doesn't hurt
She said I've finally had enough


Richman by 3OH!3

I mean what can I say,
pretty babies in the backseat singin' (to you)
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And my hom-- and my homies all singin' to it,
3oh...3oh!3,

I ain't callin' for a close-up,
No clubs, no cars, b****** with the nose jobs,
No dubs, no stars,
I'm 'a do it how I always have;
Whiskey in a 40 bag,
Pissin' in the alleyway out back where the party's at,
(Imma spend it on a) new whip, new hat, new kicks,
Bitches with the huge tits, new gat, new slips,
I'm 'a do it how I always do;
Sleep until the break of noon,
Wakin' just to make it through another night of shakin' you

I mean what can I say,
pretty babies in the backseat singin' (to you)
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go,
I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' (to you)
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go

I ain't signin' on a new lease,
No cooks, no keys,
Models with the nose bleeds,
White lace, gold beads,
I'm 'a run it like a marathon;
Party 'til I'm 50,
Wake up on my parent's lawn cops still out to get me,
And I ain't sippin' on a mixed drink, pinkie out, lips pink,
Talkin' to a rich skank filled up like a sperm bank,
I'm 'a go where I always go;
Drinks are on the house,
Whiskey's on the rocks while your sister's on my mouth,

I mean what can I say,
pretty babies in the backseat singin' (to you)
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio
,I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go,
I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' (to you)
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go

And if I was a rich man,
I've never been to sea,
Could I take you anyways,
Would you come with me, baby?
And if I was a sick man,
I never meant to be,
Would you love me anyways,
And would you marry me?

I mean what can I say,
pretty babies in the backseat singin' (to you)
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go,

I mean what can I say,
pretty babies in the backseat singin' (to you)
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go

I mean what can I say,
pretty babies in the backseat singin' (to you)
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go

I mean what can I say,
pretty babies in the backseat singin' (to you)
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got 200 seconds and I'm ready to go

S.E.X by Lyfe Jennings

Hey yo you,
You see most cats would take adavantage of you right now
But I aint gon do that, you heard
Imma give you the game, right
Imma give it to you because
I dont want somebody to give my little girl the game
So she could find her s.e.x.

Life's a trip
Heard you just turn 17 and finally got some hips
Hustlers on the block go crazy when you lick your lips
But they just want relations, they dont want relationships
(Welcome to the real world)
It aint the same
Fellas old enough to be your daddy know your name
Everybody's talkin bout how much that girl dun changed
Cant quite put your finger on it but you feel it's strange
Like's it's fire in your vains

Girl it's just your s.e.x.
Momma's secret
And daddy gon go crazy when he finds out that his baby's found her
S.e.x., take a deep breath
And think before you let it go

The block is packed
Baby got an additude and proud to holla back
Momma's giving advice but she aint tryna hear that
Not because its wrong, just her delivery is wack
(Shay, get your butt in this house, if I see you with another boy, I swear..)
Life is rough
You say that your not ready for sex but you're in love
He says if you really loved him, you would give it up
Momma says thats just a line guys use to get you're stuff
Which one will you trust?

Girl it's just your s.e.x.
Momma's secret
And daddy gon go crazy when he finds out that his baby's found her
S.e.x., take a deep breath
And think before you let it go

Hey yo Lyfe,
She might take it better coming from a woman (get 'em girl)
See, he'll tell you all kind of things to get in your pants, yeah
Baby, it's a fact that once it's gone, you'll never get it back (never get it back)
Hold on to your innocence
Use your common sense (your worth waiting for)
Be strong
Honey, till we meet again, i'll be prayin for you

Girl it's just your s.e.x.
Momma's secret
And daddy gon go crazy when he finds out that his baby's found her
S.e.x., take a deep breath
And think before you let it go

Found Poem

My Found Poem

I found a note with another name
It just don’t feel the same
Where were you
You hide behind your stories
Yourself is the only one who’s ever known

Repitition Song #1

Dance Dance by Fall Out Boy

She says she's no good
with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
"A joke of a romantic" or stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too
over-dramatic
Tonight it's "it can't get much worse" Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by
[Whispered:] We're going into D-Minor

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

You always fold just
before you're found out
Drink up its last call
Last resort
But only the first mistake and I...

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress, love

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress (mattress, mattress)
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance

Repitition Song #2

Los Angeles by Sugarcult

I want a girl, girl that won't talk backAnd a job, job that gives me slack
And a car, car that won't break down In the heat of Los Angeles
I want to go, go without a map
Far away, away, I won't get trapped
By the sound, a town, the sun beats down
In the heat of Los Angeles

One more holiday
I will not celebrate
I'm almost desperate
Cause I'm down, I'm down, I'm so beat down

This city's killing me
I want, I want, I want everything
This city's killing me
In the heat of Los Angeles

I want a love, love that won't hit back
Want sex, sex without a catch
Want a face, to trust, to feel, to lust
In the heat of Los Angeles
Want to f***, f***, f*** this up
Gonna feel, feel, feel you up
Had enough, enough, enough, enough
In the heat of Los Angeles

This city's killing me
I want, I want, I want everything
This city's killing me
In the heat of Los Angeles
What has become of me?
I want, I want, I want everything
This city's killing me(I want everything)

Come on, come on
It's alive and breathing
Come on, come on
Come alive today
Come on, come on
It's a heartless beating
The sun is burning down Los Angeles
Los Angeles
Los Angeles

I want a girl, girl that won't talk back
And a job, job that gives me slack
And a car, car that won't break down
In the heat of Los Angeles

Come on, come on
It's alive and breathing
Come on, come on
Come alive today
Come on, come on
It's a heartless beating
The sun is burning down(This city's killing me)
Come on, come on
It's alive and breathing
Come on, come on
Come alive today(This city's killing me)
Come on, come on
It's a heartless beating
The sun is burning down Los Angeles (one more holiday)
The sun is burning down Los Angeles (I will not celebrate)
The sun is burning down Los Angeles (one more holiday)
The sun is burning down Los Angeles (I will not celebrate)

Epistrophe Song

Your Song by MayDay Parade


You say that Gainesville's got no soul
Well that sounds like a good excuse for coming home
And this Tallahassee skyline keeps singing out a song
Just know it's your song they've been singing.

So stay
So stay

Stay and watch the stars come out and then the sun as they all fade away
I'll sing you every song I know if it will make you want to stay
And then i'll say
That I missed you

And these words
They'll convince you, to stay
I poured through every song I wrote
Every line that I've cried every note that was split with this pen
And every line in every song, they all seemed to come out wrong,
Until your song

So lets sing it all night long
And this Tallahassee skyline hasnt changed
While the view from every rooftop says to stay

So stay

Stay and watch the stars come out and then the sun as they all fade away
Ill sing you every song I know convince you to stay
And I could call you baby doll all the time
And youd whisper in my ears youd say i missed you boy

Now sing it over again, and over again, and over again,

And I could call you baby doll all the time
And youd whisper in my ears, youd say i missed you boy

Now sing it over again and over again, and over again

Metaphor Song #1

Dear Maria Count Me In by All Time Low

I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen

When the lights go off I wanna watch the way you take the stage by storm
The way you wrap those boys around your finger
Go on and play the leader
'Cause you know it's what you're good at
The low road for the fast track
Make every second last

'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts calling your name from the crowd

Then in the feild
You'll be the showgirl of the home team
I'll be the narrator
Telling another tale of the American dream
I see your name in lights
We can make you a star
Girl, we'll take the world by storm
It isn't that hard

'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts calling your name from the crowd

Take a breath
Don't it sound so easy?
Never had a doubt
Now I'm going crazy
Watching from the floor
Take a breath
And let the rest come easy
Never settle down
'Cause the cash flow leaves me
Always wanting more

'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle and I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts calling your name from the crowd
'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle

Metaphor Song #2

Heels Over Head by Boys Like Girls


I got your runaway smile in my piggy bank baby
Gonna cash it right in for a new Mercedes
You were worth the hundred thousand miles
But you couldn't stay awhile
I got your little brown shirt in my bottom drawer baby
And your little white socks in the top drawer
You were always leaving your s*** around
And gone without a sound

Yeah I'm the first to fall and the last to know
Where'd you go?

Now I'm heels over head
I'm hangin' upside down
Thinking how you left me for dead
California bound

I got a first class ticket to a night all alone
And a front row seat up right by the phone
Cause you're always on my mind
And I'm running out of time
I've got your hair on my pillow and your smell in my sheets
And it makes me think about you with the sand in your feet
Is it all you thought it'd be?
You mean everything to me

But I'm the first to fall and the last to know
And where'd you go?

Now I'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside down
Thinking how you left me for dead
California bound
And when you hit the coast
I hope you think of me
And how I'm stuck here with the ghost of what we used to be

You're burnin' bridges baby
Burnin' bridges, making wishes
Yeah you're burnin' bridges baby
Burnin' bridges, making wishes
You're burnin' bridges baby
Burnin' bridges, making wishes
Yeah you're burnin' bridges baby
Burnin' bridges, making wishes
You're a chance taker, heartbreaker
Got me wrapped around your finger
Chance taker, heartbreaker
Got me wrapped around your finger

I got your runaway smile in my piggy bank baby
Gonna cash it right in for a new Mercedes
If I drive a hundred thousand miles
Would you let me stay a while?

Now I'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside-down
Thinking how you left me for dead
California bound
And when you hit the coast
I hope you think of me
And how I'm stuck here with the ghost of what we used to be

Now I'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside-down
Thinking how you left me for dead
California bound
And when you hit the coast
Maybe you'll finally see
And then you'll turn it all around and you'll come back to me

Simile Song #1

S.O.S by Jonas Brothers

analysis: The song S.O.S by Jonas Brothers is a song with similes in it. The line "It's like i'm walking on broken glass" shows that it seems like he is doing something, but he really is'nt, and that is how he feels. It repeats this line throughout the song.



Told you I made dinner plans
For you and me and no one else
That don't include your crazy friends
Well, I'm done with awkward situations
Empty conversations

Ooh, this is an S.O.S.
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walkin' on broken glass
Better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get

So this is where the story ends
A conversation on IM
Well I'm done with texting
"Sorry for the miscommunication"

Ooh, this is an S.O.S.
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true, I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walking on broken glass
Better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get

Next time I see you
I'm giving you a high five
'Cause hugs are overrated just FYI

Ooh, this is an S.O.S.
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true
I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two, yeah

Ooh, this is an S.O.S.
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walking on broken glass
Better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get

Simile Song #2

Love Like Winter by AFI

analysis: In the song "Love like winter" by AFI the singer is sending out the message that his love is cold, like the winter, it isnt hot and exciting. Its cold and bitter. This song contains a simile, which is the title, Love like winter. In the first few lines the singer says that "here it's december, everyday." Here he is using figurative language because he doesnt mean its literally December everyday, but the love is bitter that it feels like it. he then says "press your lips to the sculptures,a nd surley you'll stay." This is saying that maybe he doesnt neccisarally like the "cold" but she does, and he loves her so he will deal with it. When he says "I met my love before i was born." He means that he knew they were destined to be together.


Warn your warmth to turn away,
Here it's December,Everyday.
Press your lips to the sculptures,
And surely you'll stay.
love like winter
For of sugar and ice,
I am made. I am made

It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.

She exhales vanilla lace,
I barely dreamt her, yesterday.
yesterday
Read the lines in the mirror through,
The lipstick trace.
Por siempre
She said "It seems you're somewhere, far away" to his face.

It's in the blood,It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
She wanted love,I taste of blood.
She bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.

Love Like Winter.
Love Like Winter.Winter.

Three, four
It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.
From years before.

Narrative Song

Gives You Hell by The All-American Rejects

analysis: The song Gives you hell by The All American Rejects is a narrative song becuase he is telling the listeners of a past relationship that didnt end so well, and everytime she see's him he hopes it gives her hell. In the intro the singer is pretty much saying you have a sucky life working at a 9-5 job and implying she would have been better off with him but its too late in a sence. In the first verse he says "were's your picket fence love, and wheres that shiny car." He is mocking her because she had all these plans for life to be wealthy and is rubbing it in her face that he is successfull. Towards the end of the song he says "If you find a man that gives a damn and treats you well, then hes a fool, your just as well hope it gives you hell." He is saying that she is a bad person and if i guy falls for her then he's an idiot because she isnt worth it and he would know because he already went through it with her. The all around messege of this song is that the singer hopes everything that happends to her gives her hell, including singing along with this song.


I wake up every evening, with a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And your still probably working at a 9 to 5 pace
I wonder how bad that tastes

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell

Now where's your picket fence love
And where's that shiny car,
And did it ever get you far
You've never seem so tense love
I've never seen you fall so hard,
Do you even know where you are

And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well, hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell

Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Yeah, Where'd it all go wrong, the list goes on and on

And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well, hope it gives you hell

Now you'll never see, what you've done to me
You can take back your memories they're no good to me
And here's all your lies,
You can look me in the eyes
With that sad sad look that you wear so well

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well, hope it gives you hell

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you hear this song and sing along, oh you'll never tell
Then you're the fool, I'm just as well
Hope it gives you hell
When you hear this song I hope that it will give you hell
And when you sing along I hope that it puts you through hell

New Theme.

I changed my theme from Death in Alternative to Love in Alternative.

Old theme (2pg Analysis)

The Ghost of You- My Chemical Romance

Analysis: This song has to do with death because it talks about how somone died and is "never coming home" and its basically the "end of the world" for them because they are no longer living on it. It also says that a girl died in someone's arms...which pretty much proves the song is about death.


I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever...

Ever...
Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
She dies

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me

If I fall
If I fall (down)

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna...
