    This is for my CRE101 class and I'm lazy curious as to how people could help out.

    Basically, I need some themes for songs (break-up, coming home, friendship, falling in love, etc), and type the lyrics out for 4 songs that would fit the theme. Each song also has to have at least 3 different poetic devices labeled (alliteration, irony, paradox, allusion, hyperbole, metaphor, personification, simile, imagery, etc.)

    Have at.

    Kh-vids is not your personal homework saviour.

    but if you're breaking up with someone "Move ***** get out the way" is always the best song.

    "Anonymous is not your personal army"

    I'm not asking people to do it for me, I just wanted to get some people's input because I know people here have some diverse taste in music and thought it might be interesting to see.

    Have you considered trying anything by A Day To Remember?

    "If It Means A Lot to You" actually, for maybe a break-up theme.

    Along with the song "Set Fire to the Rain" by Adele. Really good lyrics for that theme (and dat remix that I'm addicted to)

    Fair enough.

    Maroon 5 could also work for a breakup/troubled relationship (Won't Go Home Without You).
    Seriously, Maroon 5 has so much that you could pull from; bewteen Never Gonna Leave This Bed, Misery, She Will Be Loved, Sunday Morning, Sweetest Goodbye, Shiver, If I Never See Your Face Again, Give A Little More, and all of their other songs, there's a lot.

    All Mar0on 5 write about is romance, or the lack thereof. Seriously.

    Though I do like the song "She Will Be Loved" loads, and have on of their CD's that I never listen to

    If the CD has She Will Be Loved on it, it's Songs About Jane (which I own).

    It's true that they only write about relationships and breakups, but they're good at it.
    Try Witchcraft by Pendulum. You may or may not get something out of it.

    I have "It Won't Be Soon Before Long"

    And oooh, I've been trying to remember what song that was. I saw an awesome AMV with it.

    [video=youtube;2EeKFxaJ6-g]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EeKFxaJ6-g[/video]

    Maybe I'll put that too for...something?

    Ooh, that one is amazing as well. <3

    Ah yes, I'm subscribed to zoyandra. She has some great music in her videos.
    Which reminds me, what about using a song from Flyleaf? Something like Circle or Beautiful Bride might work.

    This stuff may seem a bit weird, but they are some favorites of mine. They will add some variety, at least.

    Theme: Snapping, Insanity

    Song:

    [video=youtube;gXaUZO6gvu8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXaUZO6gvu8[/video]
    Lyrics:

    Do you remember me?
    I killed your family
    And now I am going to kill you too

    I made your brother bleed
    I made your father scream
    And I made your mother say those things that she said to me

    She said, “Do with me what you want but please don’t hurt my family
    Take my pride, take my life, take my body but don’t take the ones that are close to me
    Oh, do with me what you want but please don’t hurt my family, don't hurt my family
    Take my pride, take my life, take my body but don’t take the ones that I love”

    And I continued without mercy

    So I looked into your eyes and I saw the reflection
    Of a coward you and I both hate very much
    And then I grabbed the knife
    And I let the blood out of your throat
    And I smashed those tiny mirrors inside of your skull

    And I got to thinking
    If I don’t go to hell when I die I might go to heaven
    If I don’t go to hell when I die I might go to heaven
    If I don’t go to hell when I die I might go to heaven
    If I don’t go to hell when I die I might go to heaven
    Might go to heaven
    But probably not


    Theme: Love and Loss

    Song:

    [video=youtube;_3ckQZFeBa4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3ckQZFeBa4[/video]
    Lyrics:

    You will cough up crows that peck my eyes
    And I will do nothing but go blind

    But my heart
    It has eyes
    And my love
    It has sight
    Even though it may be
    A little cloudy

    And you will break my back for all the burdens I lay upon it
    But I will never blame you for those bees inside this bonnet

    And my lungs will grow cancers
    And my back it will grow achy
    I will buy us an acre
    Of some land in the city
    We could live there together
    Or I'll live alone less happy
    But I'll live
    Unfortunately


    Theme: Break-up

    Song:

    [video=youtube;f3RAI8Ntamw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3RAI8Ntamw[/video]
    Lyrics:

    The past is a grotesque animal
    And in its eyes you see
    How completely wrong you can be
    How completely wrong you can be

    The sun is out, it melts the snow that fell yesterday
    Makes you wonder why it bothered

    I fell in love with the first cute girl that I met
    Who could appreciate Georges Bataille
    Standing at Swedish festival discussing "Story of the Eye"
    Discussing "Story of the Eye"

    It's so embarrassing to need someone like I do you
    How can I explain, I need you here and not here too
    How can I explain, I need you here and not here too

    I'm flunking out, I'm flunking out, I'm gone, I'm just gone
    But at least I author my own disaster
    At least I author my own disaster

    Performance breakdown and I don't want to hear it
    I'm just not available
    Things could be different but they're not
    Things could be different but they're not

    The mousy girl screams, "Violence! Violence!"
    The mousy girl screams, "Violence! Violence!"
    She gets hysterical because they're both so mean
    And it's my favorite scene
    But the cruelty's so predictable
    It makes you sad on the stage
    Though our love project has so much potential
    But it's like we weren't made for this world
    (Though I wouldn't really want to meet someone who was)

    Do I have to scream in your face?
    I've been dodging lamps and vegetables
    Throw it all in my face, I don't care

    Let's just have some fun
    Let's tear this shit apart
    Let's tear the fucking house apart
    Let's tear our fucking bodies apart
    But let's just have some fun

    Somehow you've red-rovered the gestapo circling my heart
    And nothing can defeat you
    No death, no ugly world

    You've lived so brightly
    You've altered everything
    I find myself searching for old selves
    While speeding forward through the plate glass of maturing cells

    I've played the unraveler, the parhelion
    But even apocalypse is fleeting
    There's no death, no ugly world

    Sometimes I wonder if you're mythologizing me like I do you
    Mythologizing me like I do you

    We want our film to be beautiful, not realistic
    Perceive me in the radiance of terror dreams
    And you can betray me
    You can, you can betray me

    But teach me something wonderful
    Crown my head, crowd my head
    With your lilting effects
    Project your fears on to me, I need to view them
    See, there's nothing to them
    I promise you, there's nothing to them

    I'm so touched by your goodness
    You make me feel so criminal
    How do you keep it together?
    I'm all, all unraveled

    But you know, no matter where we are
    We're always touching by underground wires

    I've explored you with the detachment of an analyst
    But most nights we've raided the same kingdoms
    And none of our secrets are physical
    None of our secrets are physical
    None of our secrets are physical now


    Theme: Make-up

    Song:

    [video=youtube;5cOiOY1AQXg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cOiOY1AQXg&t=17s[/video]
    Lyrics:

    She says I'm boring her camera
    It takes more to delight the cadaver
    Night eyes on icy patrols
    Yours were not so Nazi feline
    Mine were as dead as monks and
    Our particles are in motion

    Night eyes producing ashes
    We love to view unfortunate passions
    Still she takes my photo to bed
    No mere limp verse could incite identity destruction
    Our particles are in motion

    Sometimes we're not legible but we're the same strange animal
    Let them say our love is peculiar, don't care
    There's only now no ever after
    We won't let this end in disaster
    You are my twin no I will never go there

    I will add some more. I did not give you much really, just four songs and themes.

    Theme: Fashion? Trying to be modern in general.

    Song:

    [video=youtube;az_2oiccZNo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az_2oiccZNo[/video]
    Lyrics:

    Let's go downtown and watch the modern kids
    Let's go downtown and talk to the modern kids
    They will eat right out of your hand
    Using great big words that they don't understand

    They say
    Rococo, Rococo, Rococo, Rococo
    Rococo, Rococo, Rococo, Rococo

    They build it up just to burn it back down
    They build it up just to burn it back down
    The wind is blowing all the ashes around
    Oh my dear God, what is that horrible song they're singing

    Rococo, Rococo, Rococo, Rococo
    Rococo, Rococo, Rococo, Rococo
    Rococo, Rococo, Rococo, Rococo
    Rococo, Rococo, Rococo, Rococo

    Rococo
    Rococo

    They seem wild but they are so tame
    They seem wild but they are so tame
    They're moving towards you with their colors all the same
    They want to own you but they don't know what game they're playing

    Rococo
    Rococo
    Rococo
    Rococo

    Rococo
    Rococo
    Rococo
    Rococo

    Rococo


    Theme: Childhood

    Song:

    [video=youtube;FK2IAyCuJ4U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK2IAyCuJ4U[/video]
    Lyrics:

    I woke up with the power out
    Not really something to shout about
    Ice has covered up my parents' hands
    Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans

    I went out into the night
    I went out to find some light
    Kids are swinging from the power lines
    Nobody's home, so nobody minds

    I woke up on the darkest night
    Neighbors all shouting that they found the light (We found the light)
    Shadows jumping all over my walls
    Some of them big, some of them small

    I went out into the night
    I went out to pick a fight with anyone
    Light a candle for a kid
    Jesus Christ, don't keep it hid

    Ice has covered up my parents' hands
    Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans
    Growing up in some strange storm
    Nobody's cold, nobody's warm

    I went out into the night
    I went out to find some light
    Kids are dying out in the snow
    Look at 'em go, look at 'em go

    And the power's out in the heart of man
    Take it from your heart, put it in your hand

    Hand
    What's the plan?
    What's the plan?

    Is it a dream, is it a lie?
    I think I'll let you decide
    Just light a candle for the kids
    Jesus Christ, don't keep it hid

    'Cause nothing's hid
    From us kids
    You ain't fooling nobody
    With the lights out

    And the power's out in the heart of man
    Take it from your heart, put it in your hand
    And there's something wrong in the heart of man
    Take it from your heart, put it in your hand

    Hand, hand
    Where'd you go?


    Theme: Loss

    Song:

    [video=youtube;M-r1b2H9FKs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-r1b2H9FKs[/video]
    Lyrics:

    It's the end,
    Friend of mine.
    It's the end,
    Friend of mine.

    Time is over...
    Where we could simply say "I love you",
    Now you open the door.
    Leave me crying,
    Trying to embrace you again,
    Trying to face this damn situation,
    Man I can't...

    It's the end,
    Friend of mine.
    It's the end,
    Sweet friend of mine.

    Dear friend, I cannot tell the reasons why...
    We started well, good time,
    Give me some wine when you open the door,
    You seem hurt, do try to speak a word to me,
    What on earth could really go wrong with you and me?

    Yet, it's the end,
    Friend of mine.
    It's the end,
    Sweet friend of mine.

    Time seems to be over...
    Where we could simply say "I love you",
    Now you open the door.
    I feel cold,
    Why can't I hold you in my arms?
    Told you that life is short but love is old.

    It's the end,
    Friend of mine.
    It's the end,
    Sweet friend.


    Theme: Memory, Longing

    Song:

    [video=youtube;Ge8ucvLYLRc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge8ucvLYLRc[/video]
    Lyrics:

    I—I believed—memory might mirror no reflections on me,

    I—I believed—that in forgetting I might set myself free.

    But I woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat…
    And then I choked.

    I bled—I tried to hide the heart from the head.
    And I—I said I bled—In the arms of a girl I'd barely met.

    And I woke up this morning with the present in splinters on the ground—
    And then I drowned.

    And if I can't see it’s for want of—you

    You said, "I see"
    If there's nothing here then it’s probably mine
    My—My turn to see—if there's nothing here it will always be mine, mine

    But I woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat—
    And then I choked.

    I—I guess I've learned the taste of days that will always burn.
    I—I guess I've learned if it’s in the corner of my eye I can't always turn.

    And I woke up this morning with the present in splinters on the ground—and then I drowned.

    And if I can't see it’s for want of—you

    You.


    Theme: Judgment

    Song:

    [video=youtube;QaxrANJnU2E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaxrANJnU2E[/video]
    Lyrics:

    The young man stands on the edge of his porch,
    The days were short and the father was gone,
    There was no one in the town and no one in the field,
    This dusty barren land had given all it could yield.

    I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen,
    And I have no idea where else my heart could have been,
    I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill,
    And now I am sure my heart can never be still,
    So collect your courage and collect your horse,
    And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse.

    Seal my heart and break my pride,
    I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide,
    Align my heart, my body, my mind,
    To face what I've done and do my time.

    Well you are my accuser, now look in my face,
    Your opression reeks of your greed and disgrace,
    So one man has and another has not,
    How can you love what it is you have got,
    When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
    Liars and thieves you know not what is in store.

    There will come a time I will look in your eye,
    You will pray to the God that you always denied,
    Then I'll go out back and I'll get my gun,
    I'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son".

    Seal my heart and break my pride,
    I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide,
    Align my heart, my body, my mind,
    To face what I've done and do my time.

    Seal my heart and break my pride,
    I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide,
    Align my heart, my body, my mind,
    To face what I've done and do my time.

    Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me,
    I know what I've done, cause I know what I've seen,
    I went out back and I got my gun,
    I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son".


    I might post more later, not sure if I can think of anything.
