songs with imagery

Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten


Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
Drench yourself in words unspoken

Where it says "staring at the blank page before you," it gives the reader an image of someone being frustrated looking for answers but there is just a blank page with nothing give to them. The site of a dirty disgusting window is contrasted with the sun illuminating with every word she spoke. The line "so close you can almost taste it" does not only relate to imagery but it also relates to another sense. Where it says, "release your inhibitions," it puts an image in your head that you can actually see inhibitions being released. "Feel the rain on your skin" relates to another sense and still shows imagery.



Automatic Loveletter - Parker

I was your fire once.
holding onto my chest and pounding till it turns purple
a breaking bow and the sound of a scream muffled by pillows.
how i carried your heart.

The first line is talking about their relationship. In the lyrics it is represented as fire. The line about the chest is very descriptive because it gives you a motion and a color which creates a detailed image in your head. In the next line, you can imagine someone screaming and a person putting pillows over there ears to "muffle" the sound. The last line puts an image in your head of two hands holding a heart.

theme and genre

My theme that I will be focusing on is love and happiness. I will be analyzing the genre of pop/reggae.
