Sleeping With Sirens Analysis

The song implements on the hardships a mother will face for the growth of their son because love is what keeps them going. The love a mother will have for her son means that even though they don’t have a father figure around to show them how to grow up, they will always have their mothers to teach them the way of life through a woman’s perspective. In the song, “Dear Mama”, Tupac mentions, “For a woman it ain’t easy trying to raise a man, you always was committed” and he is able to foreshadow the hardships his mother had to face while Tupac was growing up without a father. At the age of seventeen Tupac, was always caught up in drama with his mom. Since Tupac was young he got involved into the hustle and was left in the streets where he basically had to risk he life every day. He never realized that being pushed into the streets would make him think about his mother or even worry about her. Tupac reflects upon the behavior he had during the time and how much stress he would add on his mother’s shoulders, but little did he know that his mother would be there for him regardless. Tupac Shakur’s mom was committed to his son and no matter the troubles he caused and faced she would be there for him to either help him out or at least hear him when he was not feeling good. She was a single mother on welfare, but she always tried

This song has a remorseful and gloomy mood incorporated in it. Early in the song J. Cole depicts himself as selfish and trying to keep to himself. “I like to write alone, Be in my zone,” here J. Cole is explicitly telling us that he would rather do what he does, which is making music, alone. “Until they snatched it from my mama And foreclosed her on the loan I'm so sorry that I left you there to deal with that alone I was up in New York City chasin' panties, gettin' dome Had no clue what you was goin' through,” J. Cole explains to us how he was blinded by sex, money, and fame. He tells us that he was too busy getting panties to care about his mother having her home for closed. Not only was it her home, but the only place he called home throughout

In the poem “Siren Song” by Margaret Atwood, sirens are always portrayed as having good looks and a seductive singing voice, so seductive that it lures sailor men to their death. The siren in this poem is a little different from the ones in Greek mythology, and through analyzing the point of view, the tone, the irony, and understanding the deeper meaning of the poem readers may come to find why this siren is not what she portrays to be.

This theme is brought through the song by showing multiple literary devices. Such as “I'm the one at sail, I’m the master of my sea”. This metaphor shows the realization and empowerment that oneself can give in a depressing situation. This simile “Falling like ashes to the ground, Hoping my feelings they would drown” compares his feeling of sadness and depression to ashes, and wanting them to drown and vanish, from his life. This line, “All the hate that you’ve heard has turned your spirit to a dove” explains how all of the hate that he has experienced and gone through has turned his feelings around, and decided to look on the bright side of things. Personally I think this is a great

In all three works of art, the epic poem (The Odyssey), Atwood’s poem (“Siren Song”), and Waterhouse’s Ulysses & The Sirens, all portray the Sirens differently by the author's tone. Waterhouse uses art to set the dramatic and threatening tone while The Odyssey uses poetry to set the dramatic tone. The tone of Atwood’s poem depicts the Sirens as being mischievous yet bored.

“I missed my sons whole life. I missed his birth. I didn’t get the birthdays, I didn’t get the Christmas’. That is what hurts the most, is my son,” said Dail who began to get choked up.

The song can be interpreted to that of a youthful man has to come face to face with his actions after confessing to shooting another man.

Songs like “ The Lines”, and “I have a Problem” talk about issues of Alcoholism and child abuse. In “The Lines”, Shomo says,”We are the generation of disorder”. Shomo tries to reach out to the kids who are being victims of child abuse. Lyrics like “Stay sheltered off in your own prison” and “I'll shout the truth at the top of my lungs” explain how some are stuck in a kind of prison of abuse and they should try and stand up for themselves and try to get help. Most of the songs from the album have feelings similar to this one. Each one gives a different voice and different sound. The hardcore punk and mix of metal music gives the feeling of anger towards these topics. But within these songs you also feel Shomo’s emotions during these songs. As he fights through hard times in his life, he finds freedom from stress with music. The song “In my Own Mind” specifically targets Shomo’s life and feelings. Shomo sings “Just how deep the rabbit hole goes”. During this part of the song, Shomo is explaining how he feels lonely in his life and is trying to fix his problems, but nothing seems to be working. He is in a dark place now and doesn’t know how to solve it. Producing his music lets him express his thoughts and gets him through life. “Sick and Disgusting” really lets the listener feel his emotion in his work and gives the idea that we can get through anything. The title of the album also comes from Shomo’s

The Sirens rise in popularity was partially due to the built-in music business experience of Pleasant. There was no need for a manager.

The characters in Greek Mythology have multiple interpretations. Among these characters include the dangerous, yet gorgeous Sirens, bird-women who sit on a cliff singing bewitching songs that captivate the minds of innocent travelers and entice them to their deaths. In Homer’s The Odyssey and Margaret Atwood’s “Siren Song,” both poets provide different representations of the Sirens. Homer portrays the Sirens as irresistible in order to establish men as heroes, whereas Atwood depicts them as unsightly and pathetic so she can prove men are foolish and arrogant using imagery, diction, and point of view.

“I...I don’t know. Sometimes I wish dad would just come back. And other times I wish he was never alive. He left us, to suffer with an alcoholic mother, while he’s probably living a good life with another wife who’s 20 years younger than him.” I rolled up my sleeve, tracing the scars on my wrist. We stared at the passing cars, hoping one of those was mom’s.

“I’d waited an eternity for this. I’d have waited all over again if I had to. I was meant to kiss this boy, designed to be held by him. All the careful postures I held melted away, and I pulled him to me, wishing there was a way to be even closer. We were the stars. We were music. We were Time.” (Cass, 193). In the novel The Siren by Kiera Cass, a girl named Kahlen becomes a Siren. A Siren is a person who serves the Ocean for 100 years and never ages and they can’t talk to people because if they did it would instantly kill them unless the Ocean spares them. This story takes place when Kahlen is 80 years into her sentence; she has 4 sisters throughout the story who are also Sirens. What happens is that Kahlen falls in love which Sirens are not supposed to do. She falls in love with a boy named Akinli and she accidentally speaks to him and he almost dies, but Kahlen gets the Ocean to spare him. After she spares him, he becomes ill because she talked to him. Kahlen

We have repetition in the second stanza and the third stanza “No, baby, no, you may not go” which emphasizes the true nature of a mother and her child. The mother was truly terrified of losing her child in the cruel world they live in.

In the first verse third line the song starts with a metaphor. The metaphor is comparing the guy to a home for heartaches. The line says “and pretend I’m a shelter for heartaches that don’t have a home.” It is pretty much saying that all the heartaches that have happened to him with his wife come down on top of him.

Cats in the Cradle, a song by Harry Chapin, was a very popular song back in 1974, that featured in Top One-Hundred charts around the world. The song was intended to be a poem, but its deep lyrics and smooth rhythms led it to become one of the most successful rock songs of its time. ‘Cats in the Cradle’ depicts the story of a father, and the life he had with his son. As good as that may seem, the song is about how the father was absent from his son’s life, and how he taught his son to grow up just like him. The song’s message is felt by fathers across the world to this day and reminds them to take advantage of every day they spend with their sons. The message is that time is precious, and if you fail to build a solid relationship with your son while they are young, it could be too late to recover once they have grown up.
