Pink Floyd's album The Wall was recorded in 1979. “This album by Pink Floyd except for listening, listening, and listening repeatedly because it is too good to beat” because it is always a high listener album up to the present. Listen carefully and understand the lines of each new song can understand the content contained. It was also made a movie which was the first rock music video I ever watched. "Another Brick in The Wall (Part I)" is the opening song for The Wall metaphor. The wall here is a mental wall built to stop the chaos and insecurity of the world. It is also a limit that prevents anyone from getting too close because when a person has no wall around him, he or she will be extremely vulnerable. Pink suffered for his father and left …show more content…
This song shows what the war has caused, like panic in the rain, or why one has to run to the refuge in a "brave, new world." The song summarizes the whole song is: "The flames are all gone but the pain lingers on." Although the war has gone by, memories of pain and pain remain, such as Pink's disappointment over his father's departure. "In the Flesh?" it shows Pink conception and it creates the stage for the rest of the story, offers a contrasting artwork between a "fascist" Pink and a "boy" Pink. The lyric itself is like an instruction written for a baby. The child wants to participate in the show, symbolizing life, to find the warmth and love of one's life. But the narrator put forward a rhetorical question: "Is this what you expect to see?" He invited everyone to try to find out what was behind his "cold eyes". The song "Mother" is made up of endless questions without feedback. Pink asks his mother, from world affairs like war, politics to personal matters like a love affair, but he seems to only get his own echo from the wall of silence. Dear father, lost father for war, now a mother as well as not, he was immersed in the lonely right in his home from childhood
The song has heavily used imagery when stating “And the Legal pads were yellow, hour’s long, pay packet lean. And the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had been.” This is used to explain his stress of coming back to civilization after war and all the things that once traumatized you are now take place in a different way. The song also uses Social Criticism“And she was like so many more from that time on. Their lives were all so empty, till they found their chosen one.” This is used to say that a female’s life is incomplete until they settle down and marry. Cold chisel has added this in to reconnect with their message to show that women are incomplete without their male counterparts and it makes it hard for both people in the relationship after war because of a miscommunication between love and
Throughout the emotional lyrics of Tupac Shakur’s song “Dear Mama”, he constantly reveals trial and tribulation. Shakur sympathetically expresses the obstacles he endures due to the undying support of his mother who displays sacrificial love. He explains the abnormal circumstances in which his family undergoes such as poverty, single parenting, and even feelings of hopelessness. Shakur characterizes his mother as a heroic figure, who outshines the negative aspects of his life by providing the essentials only a mother could both physically and morally instill in her child. The artist brilliantly captivates his audience by revealing personal information from his childhood in which many can relate to.
The persona in the poem reacts to the power the wall has and realizes that he must face his past and everything related to it, especially Vietnam.
“The Mother” (Gwendolyn Brooks) has three stanza has and aabbccdd etc. rhyming scheme that is called couplets. The first stanza The first stanza started of “abortions will not let you forget” (Gwendolyn Brooks) this is a strong statement that supported the theme of this poem. Then Brooks go on and telling how the mother did not get to hold the child that she aborted and how sad it was for her.
The listener cannot take Battle Scars at face-value to obtain the true message. The deeper meaning of the song is events that took place in a relationships affect those in the relationship forever. There is a clear tone of regret and remorse used throughout the song. The listener can infer that Lupe has underwent these effects and is speaking from past experience. A black-and-white minded listener would interpret this song as something to do with war and military. However, Lupe just uses war and military references to symbolize the relationship struggles.
The author also gives a sense of mystery and eeriness when he says that he stops to look at the names of his friends and then sees his own name. this line is open to many different opinions and can create a very interesting variety of thoughts. I believe that the author means that he sees a family member or past relatives name and this somehow makes him feel more connected to the wall. after he sees his name he stops and thinks and doesn't leave like he was going to before, he looks at the little kids and sees it they are acting differently. even the little children and teenage boys to visit the wall take it seriously, they don't play so he tricks or full around. Even though it's more common to find boys fooling around then being mature they behaved in a respectful manner. This shows that the Vietnam wall is a place where everybody is vulnerable to the emotional facts of a monument that represent so much pain, for so many the author, Alberto Rios make this clear when he writes men have cried at this wall. I have seen them (Rios line
"Mending Wall" is a poem written by the poet Robert Frost. The poem describes two neighbors who repair a fence between their estates. It is, however, obvious that this situation is a metaphor for the relationship between two people. The wall is the manifestation of the emotional barricade that separates them. In this situation the "I" voice wants to tear down this barricade while his "neighbor" wants to keep it.
There is no need for a screeching electric guitar or a long drum solo in a sad song. Also, the lyrics tell the story of a man who, led on by the desire to be a hero, realizes that war isn’t what he thought it would be; the lyrics tell a sad story. The transitions. The acoustic guitar brings in the intro to the song from 0:00 to 0:06. It is a short intro, but it establishes a general mood and tempo for the rest of the song.
Had Sigmund Freud lived 40 more years (to the overripe old age of 123), he would have been delighted to hear such a wonderful example of his life's psychoanlytic work embodied in the haunting lyrics of "Mother." Or had Oedipus lived a few millennium longer than his fictional death he would have found an adversary in the youthful Pink, a young boy whose desire for maternal acceptance and love is arguably equal to the greatest mother-centered protagonists in the history of literature. Contrary to the eye-gouging antics of Oedipus or even the grandiose melodrama later in Floyd's album, "Mother" is relatively low-key and emotionally subtle. The music itself is interestingly split, though with few if any seams to show for it, between the gloomy and simple verse chords and the effervescent, nursery rhyme-like chorus. Coupled with these seemingly disjointed yet oddly congruent styles are the blistering guitar solo and unsettling lyrics, all of which culminate in a perfect example of Floydian schizophrenia. The simple chord progression and uncomplicated lyrical delivery reflect Pink's childhood innocence at the time the song takes place. The very inquisitiveness emulates those youthful stages when the world is one big mystery. Why is the sky blue? Why does the ocean have waves? Where do babies come from? While the steady stream of inquiries seems to imply that Pink is rather young, with most children going through the "question" phase of development around 3 or 4 years of age, the level of seriousness shrouded behind the questions characterize Pink as being fairly older. The implications of governmental conspiracy and public ridicule indicate Pink's age as being around 12 to 14, that age when one learns that many of the world's most time-honored institutions are nothing more than hollow shells of public hope and dictatorial vanity. Santa Claus isn't real and there are many major religions that worship other deities than Christ. It's an age of discovery and self-recreation, when one must adapt and reinvent himself or herself in light of new knowledge. By this reading, the song's question (Pink) and answer (Mother) technique fits perfectly with this stage of budding self and global awareness. From the great Greek philosophers who used questions and answers to illustrate and promote self-realization and their own philosophical i...
In the first opening lyrics, “Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, Drifting through the wind, Wanting to start again;” these lyrics question individuals who are weak and vulnerable and being compared them to a plastic bag, drifting in whichever direction society takes them. These individuals tend to feel worthless, powerless, and tiny in a community because most of the time, they do not even know themselves. Another lyric, “You don’t have to feel, Like a waste of space,” which means that no one is any less important than anyone else and there is a reason for their existence in this world. This contributes to the overall meaning since it tells people that in society, everyone is equal regardless of their preferred sexuality. The song tittle along with the lyrics, “Baby you’re a firework” is comparing an individual’s character to the color of the sparks.
Once Upon a Time, there were three bricks. They all attended a Wizarding School. One was named Joe. he was smart, funny, and the oldest out of the other two... But only by a little bit. The next one Jimmy. He was the second oldest. he was smart and the best at Magic out of the three wizard. Jeff was the youngest out of the three she was the best behaved. it was there last year of ocean school for wizards and witches.
You have the speaker’s yard that is full of apple trees ,and you have the neighbor’s yard, which is filled with pine. Both are separated by the wall. This gives a feeling of individuality between them and the wall represents not only as a physical barrier, but also as a barrier between their relationship. The speaker says, “Before I built a wall I’d ask to know, What I was walling in or walling out.” He is wondering whether or not they were walling in their own yards, or perhaps were they walling each other out?
The novel Under the Blood Red Sun by Graham Salisbury has a connection to the song “Enola Gay” by the British pop group OMD in multiple ways. For example,in the “Enola Gay” song, the lyrics “These games you play,they're gonna end it all in tears someday” could mean the destruction that the game of war does on people. This impact is especially seen in Under the Blood Red Sun, where most of Tomi’s Japanese American family is wrecked by the bombing of pearl harbour during WW2 and the changing attitudes Americans toward the Japanese. Another example of how the lyrics of Enola Gay relates to Under the Blood Red Sun is through the lyrics “This kiss you give, it’s never ever gonna fade away.” These lyrics are referring to the impact of the Little
There's a part of the song where a sergeant states that sergeants need "someone to kill on (their) command…and ask no questions" (Bellamy)[3] and then subsequently admitting that the sergeant will make them "psychos"(Bellamy). The picture of the song itself was symbolized. It shows a baby in an army suit in the arms of a man or woman in an army suit. It seems to just be a father or mother holding his baby, but the man or woman's face is just a robot. The main message of the song is that both, men and women are sent to war and are expected to come back home to their families normal.
The underlying message of the story, as it connects to human experience, is that hope will live through despair, happiness through war. CD: One of the symbols the poet conceals is found on lines 6 and 7 in stanza 1: “Lilacs are blooming at my gate, Tulips are tripping down the path (Ambrose, In).” CM: One can examine the main colors of these flowers and view them as symbolic. The purple in lilacs represents peace and tranquility; tulip red represents love, while pink personifies youth and good health (n.a., symbolism). All of these colors connote positive things, connecting to the “happiness” part of the theme.
