Summary Of The Song 'Landslide'

“Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in,” is the third line of the chorus. This genius metaphor is relating the situation where one falls asleep for too long and sleeps through their alarm. However, in this situation the line uses sleeping in as a symbol of being oblivious to the devious situation that crept up on you. “Broken legs but I chase perfection.” This lyric is most likely referring to NF’s broken mind however, how he continues to drive himself to be the best of the best and strive for greatness. “These walls are a blank expression.” The metaphoric walls that used to be covered in haunting and terrorising thoughts are now blank. NF is trying to explain how he is cleaning up his “walls” in his mind or “mansion”. The chorus of the song “Mansion” tries to send the point out that no matter how much of a broken state your mind might be in, you will always be able to function and strive for greatness while still in possession of that mind no matter how “broken” your “legs” might be.

The word choice of the songs’ lyrics provide many metaphors. The big metaphor in the chorus is, “He put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger” (Azlyrics.com). Now a bottle does not have a trigger but it represents how he drank to the point of him using a gun to kill himself. Another metaphor used is how they both “drank the pain away a little at a time” (Azlyrics.com). That part of the song is stating how they both wanted to get blackout drunk to forget all of the pain they were afflicted with. They never could quite get rid of the pain, so the only way to get relief was to end their lives.

Ludacris does a remarkable job of portraying his message about the struggles that some adolescents are faced with. “Runaway Love”, by Ludacris, featuring Mary J. Blige (2007), represents the theme of struggle through hip-hop and rap music. It is about little girls who are “stuck up in the world on their own.” They have to take care of themselves because the people they are around do not care about them. They range from nine to eleven years in age, and their goal in life, at such a young age, is to run away from home. Ludacris is trying to get the listener to realize the struggles that even children have to face because adults are not the only ones who have problems, like most people believe. He is very successful in

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

The refrain goes like this, “When I look into your eyes / There’s just devils and dust”. Eyes are often used in poetry and in popular culture as a path to see what somebody really feels and how that person is really like in the inside. If in a person’s eyes “there’s just devils and dust” it shows that that person is troubled, haunted, and desolated. The visual image of “devils and dust” illustrates a godforsaken place, which is what that person’s soul has become. Following that the speaker tells his friend, Bobby, how they are a “long, long way from home”. These verses can have two meanings: they can refer to a soldier in a war (thus the relation with the Iraq War) or they could mean that we have strayed so far away from our values, from what we were founded upon, that this is no longer home, it is now a strange place. Many people argue, and with some justification, that the United States in the past years is becoming less and less like the country it was founded to be. The verse, “I feel a dirty wind blowing” once more takes us to the Iraq War since it evokes the image of a desert. It also relates, together with the “finger on the trigger”, to the Wild West, which seems to be where Springsteen has gotten most of the imagery for his CD (as it can be seen in songs with titles such as “Black Cowboys” and “The Hitter”). The Wild West used to be a treacherous place, which relates with the

The lyrics, “situation, aggravation everybody allegation… bang, bang, shot dead, everybody gone bad” refers to the amount of violence that is occurring and how everyone is making decisions that are controlled

First, the song shows what love can actually do to you as a whole. It can make you feel like you lost a piece of yourself

The genre of the song repels negative attitudes and exercise the belief of freedom. The type of music would be categorised as Psychedelic folk which to many is considered exotic. This music is offbeat because it holds two different components of music, odd and pleasant. As we look at the psychedelic part it we may find that this is trying to convey a message of some sorts. Psychedelic is the component that the characters use this to convince the characters that “nothing's gonna change my world” , telling them that this will be better than ever. Trying to go into the minds of the character easing them into reality by taking the situation and slowing the speed to show the illusion of perfection. Focusing on the folk part we see a familiar part that was demonstrated in the previous world. Everything was jolly, nothing was wrong and when someone was down the town would bring back the spirits of the character. The folk part is trying to spark the image that even though things have changed in ways they are the same. These important characters are still

My name is Ali Alansari, and the reason why I chose this song is because I always used to like this song since I was a child and now I really want to know the real meanings towards this song. Michael Jackson wrote thriller. This song was written in 1984, and zombies represent fears in the American consciousness. Also in that time, there was the great recession, which included poor communities, unemployment, AIDS crisis and racial polarization. The fact that this song was for terrorizing the neighborhood, it allows the audience to imagine connections for social and political issues. In this text, it is about Michael Jackson

Throughout the duration of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, the disease that plagues many high school aged students, affects Charlie in ways that many people would never imagine. The depression that Charlie is suffering from also characterizes him while helping him grow. The growth does not start out as positive or healthy in any way but by the end of the book, the crash that Charlie had experienced, helped him come back stronger than before. After receiving help from trusted adults and medical staff, Charlie is ready to jump back into his life and participate in high school and relationships

After examining the whole song, one can guess that the song makes the claim that marijuana is a drug that allows easy passage to worse drugs. According to “a 1969 Gallup poll, only 4% of American adults said they had tried marijuana. Thirty-four percent said they didn't know the effects of marijuana, but 43% thought it was used by many or some high school kids” (Robison); therefore, many individuals might not understand that marijuana, as many claim today, leads to usage of more harmful substances. The speaker then sees a shimmering light as if he is about to die which signifies the death of an old life and the birth of a new one. The temptation of drugs becomes too strong, so the speaker has to stop at the Hotel California. The mission bell that sounds contrasts so with the topic of this song that the bell must symbolize the perversion of life by the drug-use in California and elsewhere. “This could be Heaven or this could be Hell,” furthers the idea of the death of an old life. Here, the speaker does not really know whether or not his or her new life is going to be enjoyable in the end. As it turns out, the speaker's new life is hell. Then she lights up a candle, or perhaps a joint since the place most likely has electricity in the seventies, and shows the speaker the way. Perhaps the woman is a drug-dealer or a prostitute; ether one could lead a person to a lifestyle full of drugs and alcohol.

‘No matter gay, straight, or bi, I was born to survive’. In the words of lady GaGa herself it doesn’t matter who you marry, what your gender is or what’s you race you just need to accept others and yourself. Lady GaGa’s song ‘Born this Way’ informs others about self-acceptance in her new album ‘Born this way’. This song is about people abusing others and reflecting badly on them self because of their race, gender and choice in who they marry. Lady GaGa expresses her thoughts about people’s issues to say it doesn’t matter who you are because you were born that way.

No matter how many times you ask somebody to give you an interpretation of what the song Stairway to Heaven really perseveres, you will get a different answer every time. The song Stairway to Heaven was written by Led Zeppelin in 1971. Throughout all these years, still every time you ask an individual about their interpretation to the song, they will respond differently. The reason being because the songs represents many different values throughout it, but it is your choice to determine about how you choose to have an outlook on it.

It highlights the struggles that are happening for people. There are some great guitar riffs and distortion. It has a verses/chorus composition. The song is a little bit slower to begin, but soon picks up the tempo, it is a great song to sing along because the lyrics are not distorted by the instruments, like you find with some other bands. This song was written by Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi, and Desmond Child.

In The Perks of being a Wallflower, the author uses interpersonal conflict to educate the reader that when times are rigid you can still get through the negativity. For example the story first introduces this type of conflict when Charlie explains the suicide of his best friend, Michael. He goes on to say, “But Dave with the awkward glasses told us that Michael killed hisself”, and “I don’t really remember much of what happened after that, except that my older brother came to Mr. Vaughn’s office in my middle school and told me to stop crying”. This tragic event sparks an interpersonal conflict with Charlie and his past. This indicates theme because even though this event hurt him, he moves on piece by piece, even though he misses him deeply. Although he experiences conflicts that happens now, the ones from the past still haunt him. Additionally, the death of his aunt is another internal conflict. When Aunt Helen died, he wanted to believe that she wasn’t killed. He says, “My brother and sister cried. But I
