Metaphor

In Flames- Metaphor


You stole my pure intention
You are the sickness in between
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You taught me to be sad at you
You almost made me take it all
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You bend me and you shake me
You beg me then you break me
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You made me feel like a sinnerNow you fear you'll die alone
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

[Chorus:]

The sickness that you are
The plague that made me starve
You think you can show me how I've come this far

I feel it's taking over
Everything falls dark
Break me open
The desperate cry


i believe this song is about a struggle and strenght to overcome it. going through hard times. i think its like a metaphore of the singers life. part of his life story.

Found Poem- Regret

Regret
I hate those what ifs
Surviving
is easier said than done
Dreaming
of what i could have been
change
wishing i could go back
slipping
on my words
Wounded
from the battle i could never win
knowing
the pieces fit
Wounded
pain is an illusion
vision
i see parts but not the hole
Past
is so far away
Reason
to point the finger
Drowning
in a sea of regret




my found poem. words from Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Thrice

Anaphora

Judith- A Perfect circle
( Anaphora)

You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I'll never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How the savior has abandoned you
F*ck your God
Your Lord and your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why

It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you
Broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you

Oh so many many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break
Never---choke on a lieEven though he's the one who did this to you
You never thought to question why

Not like you killed someone
It's Not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ
As if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you
Did it all for you
He did it all for you

This song has many meanings. i think this song is about questioning faith. about a girl named Judith, who someone she looked up to letting her down. its a good song but the lyrics are questionable.

Comparison Reflection

Comparisons like Metaphors and Similes contribute to meanings of songs, they make you think about what it really means, what message is trying to get across.They make the song more Descriptive and Puts a Picture in your Mind. like in the song Oil and Water by Incubus. the simile " you and i ar, like oil and water" they dont mix in go together, you visulize it.
