"Don't Stop" by Innerpartysystem

The road I walk is paved in gold

To glorify my platinum soul

I'll buy my way to talk to God

So he can live with what I'm not.

The selfish blood runs through my vains

I gave up everything for fame

I am the life that you adore

I feed the rich and fuck the poor.

I got, you want

It's just, don't stop

I got, you wantIt's just, don't stop.

This is entertainment

Lives are entertainment

You are down on your knees

Begging me for more.

The road I walk is paved in gold

To glorify my platinum soul

I am the closest thing to God

So worship me and never stop.

The wretched blood runs through my vains

I gave up everything for fame

I am the life that you adore

Now feed the rich, fuck the poor.

I got, you want

It's just, don't stop

I got, you want

It's just, don't stop.

This is entertainment

Lives are entertainment

You are down on your knees

Begging me for more.

Dear future,I bought you,I own the rights

To let go

Destroy you

This is my life.

Dear future, I bought youI own the rights,

To let go

Destroy you

This is my life....inside.....

I've got, you want

This is, don't stop

I've got, you want

It just, don't stop.

This is entertainmentLives are entertainment

You are down on your knees

Begging me for more.(Begging me for more)

Begging me for more.(I've got, you want

It's just, don't stop)

This song by Innerpartysystem holds a very powerful message. It shows how bad the media and pop culture indusrty has become. Everything is all about having money, getting drunk, doing stupid stuff, and getting more money for it. This is the hollywood part of it, there is also another side to it. The media side. This song also shows how bad the media has become. How they only show the bad and most of the information is corrupt anyways.

"Zombies Ate My Neighbors" by Single File

Call the neighbor kids,With trash can lids, and buckets on their heads...

Cuz I'm tellin' you, we're gonna need a little help tonight...


So hey man, check this out:

Downtown's a riot, and somethin's spreadin' through the crowd.

Try channel 9-- I'm pretty sure they're headed straight for this part of town.

I can't be certain, but I swear I hear'em just outside.There's no way that this is real, so count me in...


Call the neighbor kids,With trash can lids, and buckets on their heads...

Cuz I'm tellin' you, we're gonna need a little help tonight...
So grab something sharp, find some cover,Kill the lights, and nail the back door shut.

This isn't funny anymore; oh no, this means war.

Don't take this the wrong way,But I'd much rather choke and die,Than sit alone and fall without a fight...


So call the neighbor kids,With trash can lids, and buckets on their heads...

Cuz I'm tellin' you, we're gonna need a little help tonight...

So call the neighbor kids,With trash can lids, and buckets on their heads...

Cuz I'm tellin' you, we're gonna need a little help tonight...


And there she was, glaring,Through olive eyes and chalk-white skin...

I want you to know that I won't be holding back tonight...

She stole my heart.I'll be taking hers with a lawn dart now,But look at the bright side:It's not like she had one there to start...


So grab something sharp, find some cover,Kill the lights, and nail the back door shut.

This isn't funny anymore; oh no, this means war.

And somethin' tells me, it's gonna be a long night.


Call the neighbor kids,With trash can lids, and buckets on their heads...

Cuz I'm tellin' you, we're gonna need a little help tonight...

So call the neighbor kids,With trash can lids, and buckets on their heads...

Cuz I'm tellin' you, we're gonna need a little help tonight...

So call the neighbor kids,With trash can lids, and buckets on their heads...

Cuz I'm tellin' you, we're gonna need a little help tonight...

So call the neighbor kids,With trash can lids, and buckets on their heads...

Cuz I'm tellin' you, we're gonna need a little help tonight...

This is probably the last song you would think to hold some sort of political message, but alas it does. There is pretty much a central theme to this song, Zombie Invasion. But the real message is disease. Right now in the news is the dreaded Swine Flu going around Mexico. This is a very serious disease that will put you in the hospital and will make you very sick. This is a big government concern because it could cause a mass epidemic, this would make it so people would have to lock themselves in their houses and avoid contact with large groups of people. With the all ready bad economy this could make things even worse.

"Mind Over Matter" By First Class Fever

'Cause I'm feeling more sick than I have before
And I can’t tell if I'm on the ceiling or the floor
Now I'm waking up in someone’s arms
Saying "How did I get here?"

It started off with just one sip I could feel it racin’ through my fingertips
And I couldn't tell if the lights were right
But the apathetic mood took control that night

And I don't know what I did,
Don't remember what I said,
Don't remember what this led to

Cause I'm feeling more sick than I have before
And I can’t tell if I'm on the ceiling or the floor
Now I'm waking up in someone’s arms
Saying "How did I get here?"
And if it wasn't for you I never would've done this
But all of my friends know I'm a sucker for a crisis
Now I'm stuck in mind over matter,
You don't mind and I don't matter.

SHOT ONE!
SHOT FOUR!

That's one too many as I hit the floor
And now gravity's trying to hold me down
But my own damn conscience won't hold its ground

And I don't know what I did,
Don't remember what I said,
Don't remember what this led to

Cause I'm feeling more sick than I have before
And I can’t tell if I'm on the ceiling or the floor
Now I'm waking up in someone’s arms
Saying "How did I get here?"
And if it wasn't for you I never would've done this
But all of my friends know I'm a sucker for a crisis
Now I'm stuck in mind over matter,
You don't mind and I don't matter.

Here's where I lay,
I don't know my charts but I think I'm a goner
Here's where you say,
"I don't really mind but we should've started sooner"

'Cause I'm feeling more sick than I have before
And I can’t tell if I'm on the ceiling or the floor
(Here's where I lay,)
Now I'm waking up in someone’s arms
Saying "How did I get here?"
(I don't know my charts but I think I'm a goner)
And if it wasn't for you I never would've done this
But all of my friends know I'm a sucker for a crisis
(Here's where you say)
Now I'm stuck in mind over matter,
You don't mind and I don't matter.

This song has a great party atmosphere to it. It sounds like its the first time this kid has been to a party, seen as the lines "I'm feeling more sick than I have before/And I can't tell if I'm on the cealing or the floor" This shows that there is also alcohol at the party, so this kid is obviously smashed. This is also great imagary. You can feel that sickness running through you and the song makes you head feel like it is spinning. Of course as in most music there is a love theme. This kid must have met his ex-significant other at the party or close to it becuase he's drinking as much as he can to try and forget this person. As seen in the lines "If it wasn't for you I never would have done this/But all of my friends know I'm a sucker for a crisis". But not like one of those grab a beer, head to the old pickup truck, and drive to froget. This is a happier song. This is a let's party till we froget all of our troubles type song. Overall the song has a lot of good things to imagine while listening to it.

"Always Attract" by You Me At Six (Song Analysis 2)

Song Analysis 2
The song “Always Attract” by You Me At Six is a beautifully crafted song with poetic devices scattered throughout it. This song is about a couple who just can’t seem to get it right. They are always fighting and going in and out of love, as seen in the lyrics “If it hurts this much/It must be love.” This line shows that even though they fight and break up it still hurts, which means that they still must have some feelings for the other. In the first verse “If it hurts this much/Then it must be love/And it's a lottery/I can't wait to draw your name/Oh I’m trying to get to you/But time isn't on my side/If the truth's the worst I can do/Then I guess that I have lied” this is where he is trying to get back with the girl. The line “Of I’m trying to get you/But time isn’t on my side/If the truths the worst I can do/ Then I guess I have lied” really shows this because he probably told the girl something she didn’t want to hear and then left him, so now he’s trying to get back yet has to lie to do so. There is also some metaphor in this verse, in the lines “And it’s the lottery/I can’t wait to draw your name.” This is a metaphor because it’s not really the lottery but he feels like he’s won the lottery every time he thinks about her.
The second verse strengthens the same point. “Keeping me awake/It's been like this now for days/My heart is out at sea/My head all over the place/I'm losing sense of time/And everything tastes the same/I'll be home in a day/I fear that’s a month too late.” This is the verse where you can really tell he’s hurting. He can’t sleep, his heart keeps going up and down (Like it’s on the waves), his mind keeps drifting (Probably back to her), and nothing seems new everything thing seems old and boring. Now he’s on his way back but he’s afraid that he’ll be too late to do anything. There is a lot of metaphor in this verse as well. “My heart is out to sea.” His heart isn’t really out to sea, but he feels like he is drifting on the waves. “My mind all over the place” His mind isn’t really everywhere, it’s still in his head but it keeps drifting and thinking about different things. And lastly is the line “And everything tastes the same.” Everything should taste different (unless he’s eating the same food) but since he is so emotionally depressed nothing seems new and everything has the same taste.
“That night I slept/On your side of the bed so/It was ready when you got home/we’re like circles and crosses in that/Opposites always attract” One of the choruses in the song, this shows that he still misses her and the it was ready when you got home part gives us hope that she’ll be coming back. They also use a simile in this chorus, “We’re like circles and crosses/Opposites always attract” This line is a simile because they are saying their circles and crosses. This line also gives the listener hope that they’ll come back together because opposites attract.
“You've taken me to the top/And let me fall back south/You've had me at the top of the pile/And then had me kissing the ground/We've heard and seen it all/No one's talked us out/The problems that have come/Haven't yet torn us down” This is the last verse of the song and shows what actually happened to him while in the relationship and gives a little last burst of hope. His significant other pretty much made him feel awesome and then let him down, and did this multiple times until at last it was too much to handle. The line “We’ve seen and done it all” shows that they have been together for a long time and the lines “The problems that have come/Haven’t yet torn us down” giving a little more hope to the cause of her coming back. There are also metaphors in this section too. Both “you had me at the top” is saying that he wasn’t really at the top of anything, but he felt great and then the other two lines “You let me fall back down” and “And then had me kissing the ground” mean that he wasn’t really falling or hitting the ground but she then made him really depressed and sad.
Lastly is the bridge “Am I keeping you awake? If I am then just say.You can make your own decisions you can make your own mistakes I'll live and let die all the promises you made/But if you lie another time, it'll be a lie that's too late” This section shows that he has finally had enough. He has had enough of her lying and pushing him around and if she lies one more time then that’s it, he’s done. Overall this song is a beautifully crafted love song that anyone with a broken heart would feel better after listening to.
