The New Single, By Shawn Mendes

Hope is now showering my heart knowing that, now that you’ve let me go, I will still be able to find the one fate has set for me to give my heart to. I know he’ll be the one to complete me the way we couldn’t complete each other, nor help each other grow.

The speaker is a lonely and distressed character going through a heartbreak. He is upset with the woman who has left him after “all the things that we been through”. The song ets a cold mood bashing the woman who’s causing the agony, but West reveals an internal resolution to his feelings when he says,

deeply scarred somebody"s broken heart and washed out dreams they followed the pattern of the

Your first thought is the love between the couple is toxic and lethal yet, he cannot resist his partner. But, really it is a reference to Cocaine. Cocaine is given a female voice. He uses personification by bringing the drug to life, where it can communicate with him and become part of his life. He knows that this “girl” meaning, Cocaine is going to be the death of him. While in use of Cocaine he gets numb. “But at least we’ll both be beautiful and stay forever young/ This I know, (yeah) this I know” (3-4). You say again, that he is singing about how the love is so very satisfying. But he is actually meaning that his desire for this young and beautiful woman makes him feel good. He feels as if he is invincible when he has her. Even though he seems to be aware of the consequences that come with feeling young and beautiful; with the use of Cocaine. “She told me, ‘Don’t worry about it.’/ She told me, ‘Don’t worry no more.’/ We both knew we can’t go without it/ She told me you’ll

The title is a metaphor for holding back tears during a breakup or an emotional time in a relationship. There a number of lyrics in the video that imply that a break up is happening but neither of them wants it to happen. For example "lonely water won't you let us wander let us hold each other' this line implies that the tears are because she feels lonely but the tears are also the symbol of them parting from one another. James also sings about how the tears are stopping him from seeing how she really feels almost as if to say that she is hiding something from him such as cheating on

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

Everything is going tragically askew, which makes the reader mildly uncomfortable. It convinces the reader that there is no salvaging this relationship and that this is ultimately the

We all cope with pain differently, but we often have one solution in common: over thinking. Where did I go wrong? Why did this happen? Is it really my fault? All of these questions echo through our mind when something in our lives turns sour; especially when it is a relationship. Love and loss can lead to loneliness. When combined, these ideas become the ultimate weapon to destroy someone from the inside out. As a result, we long for reconciliation and answers from the person with whom we’ve split. Numerous songs have been written based off of this premise. Elvis Presley’s popular hit “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” captures the ideas of love, loss, longing and loneliness. Presley presents himself in a vulnerable state and puts his inner thoughts into melodic verses. He questions if his sweetheart is just as devastated by their separation. Presley’s unique comparisons

However, the listener is brought back to reality after understanding the portrayal of the character’s confusion, from the lyrics “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?”. Then, the character’s emotion changes to being nonchalant, with the lyrics “Because I’m easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Any way the wind blows doesn’t really matter to me, to me”. The emotion next changes to realization, as the character registers what they have done (“Mama just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead”). After the character’s realization, the listener can perceive that the character is then washed over with regret and guilt for what they have committed. This is shown through the lyrics “Mama, life had just begun, But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away”. The incredible guitar solo that occurs afterward only further emphasizes the character’s remorse, for the sounds of the guitar resembles that of someone who is

“I don’t know what to do anymore,” I say as I run the blade ‘down the road’ on my wrist. I cried softly, hoping no one can hear me. I don’t want to be in this world anymore. How can I live in the world when everyone hates me? My parents abused me all the time before they died. I guess it’s now taking an effect on me. My friends all stabbed my back a thousand times. I Wish I didn’t tell them my secrets. They just went and told everyone else and now I’m known as the town slut. Even my boyfriend hates me. Or should I say ex-boyfriend. He proved it today. (Flashback) I was walking to class. I saw two people kissing next to the lockers and thought “I wish my boyfriend and I were like that.” As I got closer, it was my boyfriend with another girl. How could he? He said he loved me. We all lie at one point in our lives. Am I right? He

The use of the detached word “Lethal” in the final stanza suggests that this is the core to the emotion of love, and the surface to the surrounding layers is red roses and satin hearts.

Throughout the album, White belts out his fluctuating feelings about a love of his, and admits that even though he knows better, he continues to fall for love. Beginning the album with “Dead Leaves and The Dirty Ground,” Jack cries out “Then I come home/No one to wrap my arms around.” In this song, he explains how whenever he begins to think, he realizes the lack of his love’s presence, and starts to understand how alone he really is. Then, in “Finding It Harder to Be a Gentleman,” he is finally fed up with his love’s attitude on a rainy day and denounces, “I'd never said I wouldn't/Throw my jacket in the mud for you/But my father gave it to me so/Maybe I should carry you/Then you said ‘You almost dropped me’/So then I did/And I got mud on my shoes.” In this incident, White is trying to be reasonable, but to no avail, so he decides to ‘drop her,’ but ends up feeling the backlash immediately of the mud on his shoes. This is a turning point for White, where he recognizes that he is

Her main wish is that he would come to her once again. In this poem, there are details explaining love in an all rounded manner. She begins with the beauty of their relationship and the romance by mentioning the stars. She provokes the mind with the thought of passionate kisses and utilizes repetition to show the depth of her thought. The second power, however, the idea is the same, heartbreak but in a different manner. In any case, the poem "Funeral in My Brain" requires a greater sense of poetic expression. It is a portrayal of brokenness to the point of no return. In this poem, reader understands that there is heartbreak but fathoms not the situation before the break up. The poet does not explain entirely whether the relationship was romantic and full of love. She does not help the reader paint a clear picture in his or her mind. It is not to say that she does not entirely aid imagination, for she uses a style different from her

This weariness with life is a symbol of schizoid suicide, which leads into withdrawal into death, into a ghostly world. In the unconscious, the narrator believes that the corruption of relationships through sexual contact brings nothingness. This again indicates the presence of a schizoid element in his mind. A person with a schizoid mind seeks isolation. Union with a woman will not take him into the path of separateness, so he buries the woman. Now he can be free. He is alone but alive. In the process, he is denouncing the "inferior" half of himself, the woman in him, the part that he fears may corrupt and make him diseased. He expresses the intolerable perplexity of woman as a focus of appearance and reality.

The aim of this paper is to shed light on the reality of how painful a break up can be due to the studies that verify the impact of a breakup on a person for the society to understand and sympathies with the victim of the breakup and for the victim of the breakup, to understand why breakups hurt so much and create that much pain making the victim go through a traumatizing event and not understand what’s happening . Breakups are often discussed in a way that suggests that they have little to no effect on personal well-being and it’s just something a person needs to get over when in reality the breakup is one of hardest events a person can go through especially if the relationship was a serious romantic one that lasted for a long time
