"If we're all born to die, and we all die to live, then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts?" On the album "The Drug in Me is You" By Falling in Reverse
These lyrics represent an Elegy because the topic is rather dark, and includes death while trying to convey a question to the listener.
"I'm the colorless sunshine that's never good enough" Album Night Visions by Imagine dragons
These lyrics represent a metaphor as the singer is comparing himself to a colorless sunshine which is also an oxymoron since a sunshine is almost always colorful.
"There ain't no rest for the wicked" From the band Cage The Elephant. these lyrics represent tone in a poem. Because, this song is has a very strong tone as some poems have. As he is talking that the wicked will never stop witch is a strong tone.
no lyrics. When there aren't any lyrics, the music is the thing that represents expression. The different notes tell you what mood you should be in, like happy or sad, and rhythm tells you how you should feel, like slow or fast.
“Like when you said you felt so happy you could die”
The song is Somebody that I used to know by Goyte. This quote shows a simile because you can’t die because of being too happy.
"Not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know" by Zack Brown represents prosody because it demonstrates principal and it rhymes.
"These walls that they put up hold us back will fall down, This revolution, the time will come for us to finally win, and we will sing hallelujah, hallelujah!" - Change By: Taylor Swift
These lyrics represent the struggles that are put up throughout life and how we have enough stength to knock them down. The best type of poetry I believe, is the kind that speaks to people in a way that they can relate
"Theres a little bit of devil in her angel eyes, its a little bit of heaven with a wild side" On the album "Angel Eyes" by Love and Theft. These lyrics represent an oxymoron in a poem becuase it says there is good and evil combined.
"The dream which are dying are the best I've ever had." Mad world by Tears for Fears. These lyrics set the tone very well. It makes it very sad and gloomy. I am not a fan of this song but I think it is a perfect example for tone.
"I see the blood in your eyes. I see the love in disguise. I see the pain hidden in your pride." -Mirrors by Lil Wayne and Bruno Mars
These lyrics represent personification because the artist is giving a human like quality to love and pain, love in disquise and pain hidden.
"Some Nights" Fun. these lyrics represent these lyrics represent tone like tone in a poem because some things rhyme and some don't some nights is constantly repeated.
I think Guns Roses is a very good example of poetry in songs because of when the chorus comes in, "She's got eyes of the bluest skies as if they thought of rain, I hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain."
There is rhymes, and metaphors, and it ended up being a very iconic American song.
Imagine dragon's
"It's Time", states "The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell." This lyric represents Theme because it is a generalization that you go through arduous obstacles in life in order to reach your potential.
"Hey Jude, don't be afraid, you were made to go out and get her" Is a line from the song Hey Jude by the Beatles. This represents the fine line between love and destiny in determining weather or not we were made to go out and get that special someone. And it can be more then just a soulmate, It could be your best friend, family or a pet you hold dear. Overall I think this best describes poetry in music because of the simple lesson of "You were meant for each other" and "You need each other" in one harmony of a beautiful song.
The song, "Somethin' 'Boat a Truck" by Kip Moore is an example of a couplet. The lyrics, "Somethin' 'bout a truck... in a farmers field" has two verses and they are both the same length.
632"This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name"
This verse is in the song Remember the Name by Fort Minor. This is pretty much a poem of its own. It demonstrates principle and rhthymic toon. It has tone to as it's stating feelings.
"Begin the day with a friendly voice,
A companion unobtrusive
Plays that song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood" this is off of the album "Permanent Waves" by "Rush" this exhibits rhyme between elusive and unabtrusive
"Living in a fish eye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend'
song by Rush of their album "Moving Pictures" song "Limelight" exhibits rhyme in the lyrics eye and lie that end the lyrics
Lil Wayne Drop the World
I got ice in my veins, blood in my eyes, hate in my heart, love in my mind.
this shows a poetic term by being a metaphor. it is a metaphor because he doesnt have ice in his veins or any of this.To me he is trying to say that he is angry and but would rather love than hate in the line love in my mind. it is also a little ironic becuase he has hate in his heart and love in his mind
"When you've only got 100 years to live"
- "100 Years" Five for Fighting
This line from 100 years is visual because you start to realize what you did in you life and and if if it is good enough for you. It makes you think about your life and your accomplishments and if you can life with what you have done with no regret
"Love is a Temple" "One" by U2 this line uses a metaphor, by saying that one thing (love) is another thing(temple)
To me the most inspiration lyrics are "How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man?" from the song Blowing in the Wind, wrote and performed by, Bob Dylan. Personally I feel that the whole song is inspirational. But, to me "How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man?" is the most inspirational, because I feel like Mr. Dylan was trying to say that how many adventures, lessons, or anything you want to make out of "your roads" in life to figure out what those roads in your life take you to. For me I want to know where my roads go with my career and future in life. Like will I become a mountain man, or something successful I just don't know and I feel Bob Dylan felt the same way and that's what the song is about.
Jack Hansen
Nothing At All- Timeflies
"Everything I ever need, sittin right in front of me. I dont even know yet hopefully someday I'll see." This shows good rhyme and it also is foreshadowing because he says its been right there the whole time and he will "hopefully" see it someday.
