Song Analysis
Title: Forever and Always
Artist: Parachute
It’s a song about two lovers who loved each other dearly. Clichéd as it sounds, but it’s a song filled with love and at the same time sadness. It simply tells the narrative story from the first verse until the bridge. It says that the woman thought of “December, she thinks of when he asked her. He bent down on his knees first”. It gives the assumption that they’re already engaged to each other. As the woman waited for her fiancé, she got worried as time passed by because he was late, but then someone called her and told her that something happened. As the second verse came, it shows the emotions of what a woman in love was going through after hearing the tragic news about her fiancé—halls felt like a maze, barely hearing other people and trying to keep a straight face.

“Pain behind my eyes, I turn into strength” means that it’s always possible to hardships into something positive such as strength to go on in order to, as the lyrics says, “fight and survive”. In the chorus, the self-encouraging confidence such as being invincible, unbreakable, unstoppable and such meant that being strong is possible. No matter what happen, may it be heartaches or facing fears, they are strong enough to overcome those trials “like a phoenix from the ash”. After all, a phoenix rises is reborn after it turns into ashes. Even if a person’s “walls” or defenses are “cracked” or is wavering, strength is still possible, thus it’s still possible to continue and there’s nothing that can make that person break or shatter. Self-worth is presented on the lines “No one’s gonna tell me I don’t matter”. All in all, this song is about self-confidence, self-worth, and strength of an individual. As what the artist said, it’s about

Stephen Dunn was known as an American poet and educator, which all his poems reflect the social, cultural, psychological are of the American middle class. This poem’s title might reflect on the narrator’s life and how beautiful it can be.

Dunn’s poem contains a cluster of nouns that represents the poem theme or main idea, however each cluster has a different meaning to the reader’s and narrator’s perspective.…

    The sorrowful and depressive traits of The Woman are presented to us in a manner that is foreign to those who don’t know it, and intensely daunting to those who do. As well as this matter, the husband is presented to not understand what she is facing, thus highlighting the emotional isolation she felt on more of a personal level. The narrator states, “The sight of them made her so sad and sick she did not want to see them ever again. She told the husband these thoughts. He was attuned to her; he understood such things.…

    They feel as if they cannot “stop time” in order for them to get their lives straightened out for the better. This poem is also a biblical praise that is used in worship. In the poem, however, it is said to be that they are more involved with each other than they are with each other in their worship. The praise and worship that they felt they needed made them feel something or someone that wanted them to be saved. It shows that they were more afraid of the bad and wrong than the light that made things better and made them feel something good.…

    The poem "Theme for English B", by Langston Hughes is written in 1951, before the civil rights movement. Throughout the poem, Hughes is very nonchalant as he discusses the theme of racism as well as what it means to be "free". As he discusses race many think he is very "soft" when there was much to be angry about during this time period. I believe the poem is still very effective and the fact that he does not display anger makes it even more significant. Even though he is not angry, he does display other emotions throughout the piece because Langston Hughes writes in a unique style.…

    Have you ever heard a song that has impacted your life? Songs are a form of art that allows artists to express their feelings in a form of music. Songs can be interrupted in many ways; some songs have a more literal meaning, while other songs require you to interpret the lyrics to understand the deeper meaning. Artists often use figurative, metaphorical, and poetic elements in their songs to help develop the overall message. The use of figurative terms in a song leaves the interpretation of the song broad and allows the listener to have their own meaning of the song.…
