Connie wants her life to be like one of these songs. Since she has no one to guide her, she is using these songs as her moral compass. The inspiration she has found within popular love songs is dangerous and unethical, and clearly shows the demoralization taking place in this generation.

"The world didin't always look like this......the world wasen't always like this. At one time the world was vast with green and ocean's as blue as the sky opposing them. People like you and me loved and laughed with their family's and friends. Animal's like the dog next to me were beautiful creatures. Ace next to me there was my dog.....no matter what he stayed next to me all the way till now...he was the only thing that gave me hope in the world my ace in a deck of cards. People were better before..they came. Now it's time i tell you about the giant in the background.

I feel worthless cause my shirt wasn’t matching my gear/ I’m just scratching the surface/ cause what’s buried under there/ is a kid torn apart once his pop disappeared/ I went to school/ got good grades/ could behave when I wanted/ but I had demons deep inside/ that were raised when confronted/…Now all the teachers couldn’t reach me/ and my momma couldn’t beat me hard enough/ to match the pain of my pop not seeing me so/ with that disdain in my membrane/ got on my pimp game/ f*** the world/ my defense came/ (December 4th)

* I tried my best, but you just don’t seem satisfied, and now im here all alone tonight, when I think of you I cry – greyson chance

Kevin Young’s “I am Trying to Break Your Heart” examines the dark and chaotic nature of trying to heal from emotional damage. Addressing a lover, the speaker uses twisted and macabre diction to describe the dark feelings that brew within him. These sinister desires to harm the lover shine through in the terse language and erratic structure, as well as. The 2008 poem alludes to a Wilco song of the same name, wherein the speaker describes his heartache after leaving his lover and facing regret concerning the situation. This is alluded to in stanzas 12 and 13 when Young writes “... I assassin / down the avenue,” (22-23) the second line of the song. Without taking note of this allusion, the poem would seem as if Young is portraying himself as a manipulator seeking to gain power over his lover. But through referencing the 2002 song “I am Trying to Break Your Heart” by Jeff Tweedy, Young clarifies his intent. The poem is meant to illustrate the chaotic and destructive nature of healing from emotional damage, showing how a love lost can leave an individual scarred and vengeful.

The reason I choose this song because I like this song’s style, simple words but complicated emotion. I first read this song when I was in China during my middle school on our school’s magazine. There is a part called ‘everyday English’. On the magazine, they said the author of this song is Shakespeare. Actually this song comes from Turkey and no one knows who’s author. In the song, the author use Juxtaposition to express his counselor. In literature, juxtaposition is a useful device for writers to portray their characters in great detail to create suspense and achieve a rhetorical

Tim McGraw is a well known country singer and songwriter. The song I have chosen is a love song called ¨Don't Take the Girl¨.  This song is about a boy named Johnny and his journey with the love of his life. In the beginning of the song Johnny's father is taking him fishing, but a little girl wants to tag along. Johnny begins to beg his father to not let the girl go fishing. As the song goes on the relationship between the boy and girl progress from a friendship into a romance. During this transition the couple goes through stages, in each stage the couple is placed in a situation where johnny will give up anything and everything just as long as the girl is not harmed.

I was mad to think that if I killed her father it would affect her feelings towards me. Especially when she bore no feelings for I. As she wants nothing from me I don’t see any reason why I should not put him to death. What better way to take his life than with his own gun, the gun that I so nearly shot myself with. Nothing will delay me this time. I never required his talents. V.A. restricted my potential successes… and to think about the state I would be in if I didn’t try so hard to receive his talents! I capitalized on his notability for my own profits. I have completed my sextet and for it I will be renowned in musical history. I’ve made a tactless blunder with a relationship and apprehended that the only love I need is self-love. I’m a man who can do well by himself, if not

“I sang with him when I was 16 and when we met, I teared up, like, ‘Do you know who you are?'”( Page

Suffer Well Wrung of feeling, kindness spent Wonder where the goodness went Wasted time and wasted love Body still aches from the shove Yet I’ll love you still, always Though you’ve left me torn and frayed I can never let you go

Gold Dust Woman Rock on, gold dust woman Take your silver spoon and dig your grave Heartless challenge Pick your path and I'll pray Wake up in the morning See your sunrise loves to go down Lousy lovers pick their prey But they never cry out loud, cry out Well, did she make you cry, Make you break down, Shatter your illusions of love?

Born of war, for war. My purpose to die in battle oh so divine. Reared on the teat of death, hardened to stone through abuse…..Here my demented playground the horizon, it’s howling a blaze, a spectral village illuminates the sky, as fire destroys their domain. With glee I’ve raped and tortured, my pleasure be inflicting pain. To my death with an unholy vigor I shall fight till I’ve vanquished the Christian god’s ways. Tis be but the beginning of an ear of inhuman tragedy. To be ushered by my iron fist, the ovens they bellow towards crematory highs to dispose of the god fearing man. Once the rapture is over and Armageddon is won. Who will save man from their karmatic doom, save them from the slaughter…? HA! There will be no more petty god, Just
