Song Analysis 2 lyrics

Yellow-Coldplay
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know you know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know for you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry

It's true look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for...
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine

Look at the stars look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do

Found Poem

The songs used were erverlong by the foo fighters, cigarette by yellowcard and where ever you will go by the calling
(The poem is about going away to war)

War
The days are burning out
Til im going and you find
Just quite how
You can make it on your own
Myabe ill find out
How you wanted it to be
You've got to promise
To still go on
And ill hold you in with my heart
Throught the darkest of my days
I hope someday
I can make it back to you
If a greater wave shall fall
I will long for your love evermore

Incubus-Mexcio

You could see me reaching
So why couldn't you have met me half way?
You could see me bleeding and you would not put pressure on the wound
you only think about yourself you only think about yourself
you better bend before I go on the next train to Mexico

You could see me breathing
And you still kept your hand over my mouth
You could feel me seething
But you just turned your nose up in the air
you only think about yourself you only think about yourself
you better bend before I go on the next train to Mexico

Seether- Broken

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph, I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain'
Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough'
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

ANAPHORAS & EPISTROPHES

In "The Acoustic Song" by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, there is a anaphora in one part...

When I see your smile tears roll down my face I can't replace .And now that I'm strong I have figured out how this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul, and I know ill find deep inside me, I can be the one.I will never let you fall I'll stand up for you forever ill be there for you through it all,even if saving you sends me to heaven.Seasons are changing and waves are crashing and stars are falling all for us days grow longer and nights grow shorterI can show you I'll be the one.I will never let you fall I'll stand up for you forever.I'll be there for you through it all,even if saving you sends me to heaven.Cause you're myyou're my my true lovemy whole heartplease don't throw that away.Cause I'm here, for you please don't walk away and please tell me you'll stay, stay...Use me as you will pull my strings just for a thrill and I know ill be okay though my skies are turning gray.I will never let you fall I'll stand up for you forever I'll be there for you through it all even if saving you sends me to heaven.

These two lines are anaphoras because they both repeat the same word at the beggining.

These anaphors enhance the song by adding emotion and it helps the listener understand how it feels to need someone. It doesnt detract anything.

In "The Saddest Song" by The Ataris, there are some epistrophes,

Only two more days, until your birthdayYesterday was mine You'll be turning five I know what it's like, growing up without your father in your life So I pretend, I'm doing all I can And I hope someday you'll find it in your heart To understand Why I'm not around And forgive me for not being in your life I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Remember waiting there to find nothing at all I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Waiting there to find nothing at all maybe someday you really get to know menot just the letters read to you I pray I get the chance To make it up to you We got a lot of catching up to do So I pretend, I'm doing all I can And hope someday you'll find it in your heart To understand Why I'm not aroundAnd forgive me for not being in your life I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Remember waiting there to find nothing at all I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Waiting there to find nothing at all Forgive me!I'm so sorry!I will make it up to you....

These are epistrophes because they repeat the word "waiting" often throughout these lines.

Repeating the line "I remember waiting" enhances the song because it's explainin what this person had to though while "waiting" for his father to come back. It helps the listening relate to the song and the lyrics ecspecially if they have gone thruogh something like this themselves. Everyone is waiting for something whether it's a person or not, waiting when you know its useless is tough to do but it shows that people don't give up when things are improtnat to them.
