Starlight analysis

This song is by the band Muse and was released on their 2006 albulm Black Holes and Revelations. The first metaphor is in the line "this ship is taking me far away, far away from the memories of the people who care if I live or die." The singer is not actually taking a ship away from his loved ones but rather is ditancing himself away from them mentally. The starlight the song is about could be interpreted many different ways I like to interpret it in that the starlight he chases is his imagination and the endless wonder and possibility that awaits to be uncovered. The struggle is in that he has to choose whether or not to pursue his dreams and accomplish what he feels is his potential or go with the girl that mystically intrigues him even though it will probably not work out. The other metaphor is in the chorus and goes as follows "our hopes and expectations black holes and revelations." This means that what he hopes for and expects are nothing but lies and revelations of how wrong he was.

Coma White analysis

The song "Coma White" is done by Marilyn Manson. The story behind the song is that it is written abour and for Manson's ex-girlfriend Rose Mcgowan. The song describes a girl who is in turmoil personally and uses drugs to deal with it. The struggle is her own ordeal in that she abuses drugs and cannot overcome her own problems. The main metaphor is in the chorus "a pill to make you numb, a pill to make you dumb, a pill to make you anybody else". The "pill" is the many drugs she uses and its many ways to make her forget about her life and the troubles she lifes with. The othe metaphor is "her mouth was an empty cut". This describes her mouth as useless and more importantly her as useless when she was high on drugs. The high took her soul away and left her useless.

"Coma White" by Marilyn Manson lyrics

Theres something cold and blank behind her smile
Shes standing on an overpass
In her miracle mile(coma):
You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
Today to run away
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Wont save her from herself
Her mouth was an empty cut
And she was waiting to fall
Just bleeding like a polaroid that
Lost all her dolls(coma):
You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
Today to run away
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Wont save her from herself

"Starlight" by Muse lyrics

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
StarlightI will be chasing the starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to re-ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive
But I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold

rooster lyrics

Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere
Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, ya know he ain't gonna die
Walkin' tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath
Oh god please won't you help me make it through
Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no ya know he ain't gonna die

my narrative song

"Highway Patrolman" by Bruce Springsteen


My name's Joe Roberts I work for the stateI'm a sergeant out of Perrineville barracks number 8
I always done an honest job as honest as I could
I got a brother named Frankie, and Frankie ain't no good
Now ever since we was young kids it's been the same come down
I get a call on shortwave Frankie's in trouble downtown
Well if it was any other man, I'd put him straight away
But when it's your brother sometimes you look the other way
Me and Franky laughin' and drinkin'
Nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would
Man turns his back on his family he just ain't no good
Well Frankie went in the army back in 1965 I got a farm deferment, settled down,took Maria for my wife
But them wheat prices kept on droppin' Till it was like we were gettin' robbed
Frankie came home in '68, and me, I took this job
Yea, me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin' Nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would
Man turns his back on his family he just ain't no good
Well the night was like any other, I got a call 'bout quarter to nine
There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan line
There was a kid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad bleedin' hard from his head Was a girl cryin' at a table and it was Frank, they said
Well I went out and I jumped in my car and I hit the lights
I must've done a hundred and ten through Michigan county that night
It was out at the crossroads, down round Willow bank
Seen a Buick with Ohio plates behind the wheel was Frank
Well I chased him through those county roads till a sign said Canadian border five miles from here
Pulled over the side of the highway And watched his tail lights disappear
Me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin'
Nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would Man turns his back on his family he just ain't no good
