assignment 2 Task Three – Analyse the track (done)

 Analysing the track 

The pace of the song is slow and repetitive as it is a song about heartbreak, it is only right that the beat to it is slow rather than upbeat as it does not match well. Length of the song is 3 minutes and 30 seconds.

You say you love me

But I know it's a lie

Cause when you loved me

My river ran dry

Is someone tempting

Someone on stand by

I handle looks

But never touch

You are mine

(The first and second verses are the intro into the song. The lyric describes "you" as a cheat and player. The lyrics also describe the "you" as someone that has caused an heartbreak and who has lied.)

I thought you'd never ever ever

Wanna see see me like this

See see me like this no no

Now I'm all teary'd up paranoid as ever

Yup!

Now put your hands up

I'm about to shoot love

And I'ma pray that you will give it up

Pray that you will give it up

You never wanna see me like this

Now put your hands up

I'm about to shoot love

And I'ma pray that you will give it up

Pray that you will give it up

You never wanna see me like this

(The chorus is repetitive, as they repeat the same words. It is about expressing anger and how love as made them turn into this person they usually aren’t, and they have had it up to a stage where they want to take their revenge however possible.)

Your love is sickly

Emotional rides

A troubled heart

A messy mind

That's bleeding mine

That's whyyyy

(This verse describes the treatment and feelings during the relationship, the words used to describe their treatment become shorter and more defined, a perfect description of what it was like.)

I thought you'd never ever ever

Wanna see see me like this

See see me like this no no

Now I'm all teary'd up paranoid as ever

Now put your hands up

I'm about to shoot love

And I'ma pray that you will give it up

Pray that you will give it up

You never wanna see me like this

Now put your hands up

I'm about to shoot love

And I'ma pray that you will give it up

Pray that you will give it up

You never wanna see me like this

(Chorus – expressing the anger and hurt they are going through towards the “you”)

If I was brave, I'd cut you off

You don't think too fast

You would never last

Something drastic has to change

I'm begging of you

Now put your hands up

And I'ma pray that you will give it up

Pray that you will give it up

You never wanna see me like this

(For the bridge, the lyrics show that the love for who the song is referring to is still there and in existence but because of how they are being treated the can not what around until a change happens)

Yeah eh eh ayyyy

No you never wanna see me like this

You never wanna see me like this

 (The last part of the song is just agreeing to all what has been said above)
