Still Fallin Analysis
Nobody’s perfect. A famous saying that is used in almost every life situation. The excuse people make when they make mistakes. Hunter Hayes wrote a song about relationships. A song about endless ups and downs between the relationship of two lovers in the male point of view. Humans always make mistakes; what’s important is that one learns from those mistakes one does. The imagery in Hunter Hayes’ “Still Fallin” reveals the persona’s thoughts of a man about his relationship to the addressee or the persona’s lover. The first verse of the song describes the expectations of his lover as shown in the first line “Who would think for all the days I’ve known you.” His lover expects him to know her very well as shown in the last four lines of the first …show more content…
The line “I still reach for your hand because I need it” means that the persona needs the guidance of his lover. The word “hand” in the line symbolizes guidance or help. The kiss of his lover makes him stronger described in the line “Your kiss is still the spark that lights a fire.” He used the word “fire” to symbolize himself and something that makes him stronger is her lover’s kiss which is symbolized by the word “spark” The persona also tries to make his lover realize that they still enjoy their time together in the line “you're still laughing with me.” He also stated that they still have a lot of experiences to go through in the line “Baby, and we're still making memories.” He also admits that there are still a lot of things that he doesn’t know as shown the last line of the third verse which is “I'm still a fool for you, there's a million reasons …show more content…
“After every late night street light drive” is about the nights they’ve spent together. “Every love you miss you kiss good night” shows more experiences they’ve been through and what they do everyday. He states that his lover is still the person he loves the most in the line “Girl, your name is still my favorite.” On the last line, which is “always will be and I'm still wanting, still all in still falling” he states that he would always love his lover. The words “Still waiting, still all in” means that the persona is patient about their relationship and is still giving all his effort for their relationship. The song is basically about achieving and making mistakes. It shows how devoted the lover is to his partner even if he couldn’t be perfect. The persona admits that he still have lots to learn in their

    Reading this poem was confusing for the fact that it’s very receptive. It almost states every line in the poem more than once, but just uses it in different places throughout the poem. Overall, the theme can be understood that theirs a guy who can’t sleep hence insomnia in the title, because his lover has moved on. In the first stanza one line says “With no ring on her finger” and the line right after says “You cannot hope to hold her”. This means that the guy in the poem who can’t sleep has not asked his lover to marry him, hence why theirs no ring on her finger and therefore he cannot hold her. “She has another lover. Her heart is other where” means that the girl described in the poem that’s tossing around in bed has moved on. She has found someone else and possibly someone who will marry her, since her previous lover wouldn’t put a ring on her finger.…

The goosebumps painted on the skin are worthless without it. “Last Night”, written by Sharon Olds, is a perfect reflection of how being in love has a profound effect when in relation to intimacy. Olds compares her experience while being in love, to her experience when her feelings for her partner are neutral. Throughout this piece Olds conveys her message with the use of similes, repetition, imagery, and hyperbole.…

    When placed at the end of a sentence, the pause can also inspire a feeling of melancholy longing. The pause is sometimes used to represent an intentional silence, perhaps indicating irritation, dismay, shock or disgust. This rhetorical device where a sentence is stopped short, is not because of interruption, but is because of the speaker is too emotional to continue. She is sobbing. In Stanza 2, Line 2, there is a pause before the word apart to emphasize the distance between the persona and her lover. The word “distance” here is not the physical distance or space between two persons, but it implies the emotional distance or the different mindset of her and her lover toward love. In Stanza 3, the persona says her lover had the opportunity to have her. In Line 6 after the dash, the persona reveals the reasons she rejects her lover. Her lover wore his heart on a sleeve means that he expresses his emotions and desires directly. For her, that way of expressing love is not poetic and romantic. In Stanza 5, Line 5 the pause before somehow implies that the persona is considering and thinking about the relationship. She stops sobbing. She sighs and says the word somehow by showing her depression and despair toward the relationship. The persona is reluctant to leave her lover, and now shows that she has accepted the…

    The poetic tone of the lyrics in “Getting Through” expresses the inescapable crushed and drawn-out feeling of heartbreak, while also hinting at its refusal to become extinct. “So I go on loving you,…” informs the reader that the heartbroken speaker is confronting the source of his or her pain (14). Unlike many narrators addressing the subject, this crushed soul is not begging to be taken back, but instead wants the oblivious cause to be aware of the uncontrollable and persistent love felt toward him and the torturous pain that has resulted. Unfortunately, as anyone who has ever had their heart broken knows, these words are futile as they go “…hurtling past,/ like a train off its track/ toward a boarded-up station,” (18-20). The speaker knows that this admission of love will not change anything, yet she still feels the need to express herself. There are no hints of hope or of a change of heart. In fact, it seems like the heart has been broken for quite a long time since there is a “deepening skin” of dust and the heart of the recipient is compared to “…a boarded-up station,/ closed for years,” (12, 20-21). The refusal, or possibly the inability, to move…

    In the second stanza he reminds her that he can’t do all this praising because “times winged chariot” is “hurrying near.” Here the chariot is the Greek god Helios which has been personified as the sun.

    Starting out in the first stanza, the lyrics read “We’re talking away, I don’t know what to say, but I'll say it anyway.” These opening lines are very important because they express the singer's inner doubts and nervousness. Since we previously interpreted the song to symbolize the “hunt” for love or flirting, we can assume that the singer's unsure speech correlates with him talking to a girl. This is an important first lyric because it sets the mood of the songs self-doubting undertones and intrigues the listener. The songwriter, then follows with, “Today’s another day to find you, shying away” and “I’ll be coming for your love, okay?”…
