Analysis of Lyrics

In depth analysis

Overall the main connotations from these lyrics portray anger and a sense of desperation. An example of this would be 'You said you'd be there for me' showing desperation and 'can you see the pain you're causing' showing anger. Within the lyrics there is a semantic field of heartbreak and disappointment from the words 'pain' 'evaded' 'eliminated' 'erased' 'interrogated' 'evil' 'die' 'blood'. Negativity is deeply crafted within the lyrics and therefore we would need to use the mise-en-scene and camera work to portray this within our final video. The lyrics are very strong and our video needs to run parallel with this.

The chorus of the song is highlighted in pink. Repeated throughout is 'can you feel'. The overall song is about getting people to take notice of what is happening around them. This is repeated to emphases this meaning to the audience. In the first verse of the song the lyrics read 'its from my side' reflecting upon how the artist is giving her point of view to the audience.

  1. WWW: this has shown you are really planning ahead and thinking of ideas you can do for your project. Looking into connotations can be good for delving into visuals - this is a really good feature you have picked up on.

    EBI: you could add some feedback from people who aren't in your group to see what they think of the lyrics and use this to your benefit if they have really good ideas
