Song interpretations

Well this song is about a boy who likes a girl but is going crazy because he doesn’t know if she likes him back. That’s the whole theme of the song from my point of view. It takes place in the city and late at night. The girl says the she’s not lonely, like she already had a man or her eyes on someone else. He keeps talking about how she is “irresistible” and how obsessed he is with her. Also he tells us that his heart is broke already and he is trying to fix it through her, he wants to love her and he wants her to love him back. He calls her a “stupid girl” because she doesn’t know what she has in front of her. In front of her is him and if she doesn’t take him then she’ll regret it because he would have treated her right. This relates to William Shakespeare’s play “A Midsummer Night’s Theme” because it’s all about love. Someone loves someone else and they don’t know if that someone else loves them. It’s like a love square because there’s so many people involved.


The Spill Canvas- Staple gunned
This song is about a boy who has just met a girl. He is already regretting what he hasn't done yet and what he should have done. He then makes up all these similes and metaphors to describe how much he loves her already. I can tell this is not love though, but lust just as in "A Midsummer Night's Dream". This relates to the story because all the boys love another girl because of lust and not because of love. When the one man wanted to sleep next to the woman in the Forrest, which showed that he wanted her for all the wrong reasons.



Dashboard Confessional- Hands down
This song is about a boy who is with a girl and they are pretty much having the best time with each other, just the two of them. It’s the feeling that they have because it’s just him and her and no one can say anything about what they do or how they should act. Like cuddling for instance, some people may see it weird; your mom probably thinks it’s weird when they see you cuddling with a girl. They don’t have to worry about this now, because it’s only them two. Since he’s having such a good time he is willing to die, just so he dies happily.

This song describes how extreme the characters are about explaining their lying love for one another. “This air is blessed, you share with me", reminded me of how they are also so religous.



Say Anything- Alive With the Glory of Love
The song was said to explain Max Bemis's grandparents when they were in the holocaust. It using words like "Boot stomped meadows" and "Treblinka". The song explains how his grandparents were separated but still never lost their love for each other. The video for this song shows his grandparents as children sneaking out of the work camps in Germany to see each other just to get a kiss before they are found and taken back to their separate camps. This relates to the book "A midsummer Night's Dream" because the characters Hermia and Demetrius are not suppose to see each other by order of Hermia's father. But they do anyway; they sneak out into the woods to live together forever.



Pink Floyd- Wish you were here
Now there are many, and I mean many interpretations for this song and I do not wish to research all of these because I would get nowhere so I decided to give you my own interpretation of the song. Well mine is that there were a couple, woman and male of course and they broke up or were separated somehow. The man is singing and describing how she lost all hope for everything. That she or he does not have a good understanding of the world, that her understanding of the world is all messed up, like she was brain washed or a tragic event happened. He also explains how she can't tell things from other things and that she is trading thing for things that she shouldn't. He says that they are both two lost souls that keep going over the same tracks and same paths. He just wishes that she was there with him.
