METAPHORS ! Greenday- Time of Your life "Good Riddance"

Another turning point; a fork stuck in the road. Time grabs you by the wrist;directs you where to go.So make the best of this testand don't ask why.It's not a questionbut a lesson learned in time.It's something unpredictablebut in the end it's right.I hope you had the time of your life.So take the photographsand still frames in your mind.Hang it on a shelfIn good health and good time.Tattoos of memoriesand dead skin on trial.For what it's worth,it was worth all the while.It's something unpredictablebut in the end it's right.I hope you had the time of your lifeIt's something unpredictablebut in the end it's right.I hope you had the time of your life.It's something unpredictablebut in the end it's right.I hope you had the time of your life.

This song realtes to my theme and genre because the singer's perspective on life is upbeat and kind of positive. He knows that life is unpredictable but you have to take it as it comes and enjoy it while it lasts. I like this perspective because it's mellow and it goes with the flow of life. The two first lines in the first verse are metaphors. "Another turning point ,a fork stuck in the road, time grabs you by the wrist, directs you were to go", this is a metaphor because there are turning points in life but there are not literal forks stuck in the road to split our direction of life. Also, time does not literally grab you by the wrist and direct you were to go, but time does give us a limit and if we do not realize this we will get lost. This song is all about how life keeps moving on no matter what you do and the best way to live is to accpet change and " have the time of your life". These two metaphors describe how life waits for noone but if you live it the right way time will be on your side and you will have fun and enjoy the time you have.
