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

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...
