Found Poem

It’s been about a year now
Remember all those things I did to steal your heart
Those sweet memories
No matter what anyone could say
I know I’ll break through
Lay your head on my shoulder
You’ve been hiding
Never letting it show
I’ve been waiting for you, I’m pretending
But I’m going to stay right here

epistrophe analysis

Lil Wayne- Something you forgot
I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you
I'm pretending, and that's all I can do (that's all I can do mama)
The love I'm sending ain't making it through to your heart (I hope you hear me)
Pain, since I've lost you, I'm lost too
Nigga feelin' like he at the bottom like a horse shoe
Sorry for the trouble that I put you and your heart through
God knows that I'd do anything for a part two, or to
be prayin' for the day you come back to me, sayin' that you forgive me
Give me another chance, I'm needin' it like a kidney
I don't wanna advance, give me back her hands
Give me back her touch, I don't ask for much
but I fucked up, I know I fucked up, I admit I fucked up
but everybody fuck up, now this other nigga lucked up
Tellin' me and my clique don't give a fuck
Cause um, we from New Orleans, she was from Georgia'
She was my down chick, I was her soldier
I was her gangsta, she was my shoulder
You were the pistol to my holster .. BANG!
(Lil' Wayne)You've been hiding, never letting it show
Always trying, to keep it under control (I see you hidin' it mama)
You got it down, and your well on your way to the top (keep doin' your thing)
but there is something you forgot[Lil' Wayne]
You forgot about the house, you forgot about the ring
I remember everything, I just wanna hear you sing
I remember the love, right after the fights
You can't tell me you don't remember those nights
and if I would cry, then you would cry twice
To me you are the brightest star under sunlight
See take away my title, take away my stripes
You give me back my girl and you give me back my life
Give me back my girl and you give me back my life
See this is just a nightmare, so I blink twice
Open up my eyes hopin' she'd be in my sight
I remember the time, I wish I could bring it back
What she mean to me, is what I mean to rap (what I mean to rap)
(Lil' Wayne)You've been hiding, (y'know) never letting it show
Always trying (I see you hidin' it mama)to keep it under control (but I know you know)
You got it down (I know you do)
and your well on your way to the top
(but I wish you and yours nothin' but happiness shawty)
[Verse 3:]But I hope you haven't forgot about me up in the livin' room watchin' Sports Center
You were cookin' dinner, I was such a sinner, but the Lord is a forgiver
You know they say if you pray then you can get your blessings ordered and deliveredand your boyfriend is not like me
Ma you even went and got a teardrop like me
I remember we would sit at home all day
You called me "Butta", I called you "Babe"
My momma asked about you, my partners did too
I know your daughter will be so amazin' like you
and I know you probably wish you never met me, and I just wish you never forget me
and let me say, please don't worry 'bout the women I have been with
No engagement can amount to your friendship
and I hope that nigga know he got a queen, and all I can do is dream .. DAMN!
[Chorus]I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you
I'm pretending, and that's all I can do
The love I'm sending ain't making it through to your heart

anaphora

I don't understand why
See it's burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something I gotta do
But that don't mean I want to
What I'm trying to say is that I-love-you i just,
I feel like this is coming to an end
And its better for me to
Let it go now than hold on and hurt you
I gotta let it burn
[Verse 1]It's gonna burn for me to say this
But it's comin from my heart
It's been a long time coming
we done been fell apart
Really wanna work this out
But I don't think you're gonna change
I do but you don't
Think it's best we go our separate ways
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
When I'm hurting baby, I ain't happy baby
Plus there's so many other things I gotta deal with
I think that you should let it burn
[Chorus]
When the feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn Let it burn Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We knew it was through
Let it burn Let it burn Gotta let it burn
[Verse 2]Sendin' pages I ain't supposed to
Got somebody here but I want you
Cause the feelin ain't the same find myself
Callin' her your name
Ladies tell me do you understand?
And all my fellas do you feel my pain?
It's the way I feel
I know I made a mistake
Now it's too late
I know she ain't comin back
What I gotta do now
To get my shorty back
Ooo ooo ooo ooooh
Man I don't know what I'm gonna do
Without my boo
You've been gone for too long
It's been fifty-leven days, um-teen hours
Imma be burnin' till you return (let it burn)
[Chorus]
When the feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this bruise you
Let it burn Let it burn you gon' learn
Gotta let it burn Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We knew it was through
Let it burn Let it burn Gotta let it burn
I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me
that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (ooooh)
I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (yeah)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh (can ya feel me burnin'?)
Ooh ooh ooh oooh ooh oooh
So many days, so many hours
umma be burnin' till you return
[Chorus]
When the feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn Let it burn you gon' learn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We knew it was through
Let it burn Let it burn, let it burn
Gotta let it burn



The anaphora of the song "burn" by Usher is let it burn. He continuaslly says this throughout the song to remind the listener the piont is to tell this woman that he is letting it burn. He is letting their relationship go. He doesnt necissarily want to do this, but he has to because he knows it's for the best for both of them. "even though this might ruin you, let it burn, let it burn, gutta let it burn."

comparison reflection

Metaphors and similes help give certain songs there own specific meaning. For example in the song "she's like a star" by Taoi Cruz, he says "she's the only one that i want by my side, shes the only one i believe can change my life she makes me want to be a better man, oh why?, shes higher than the sun the stars and the moon, shes like a star." Not only is this quote the chorus of the song but its the basic idea Taio is trying to get across. By him saying this he is over exaggerating how much she means to him. Usage of metaphors and similes and other poetic devices help artists get the point across to what they're trying to say easier then actually full out explaining it, to me thats what makes a song a good song, it amkes it fun and more meaningfull. Some artist use metaphors and similes to try and relate to the listener.

metaphor song #2

Girl turn me up and let me come through your speakers
Blow the sound out of your tweeters
Cause babygirl this is the music for love
Shawty don't be scared, just let the bass line hit you
Boom boom, all up in your system
Cause babygirl, this is the music for love
Girl, let my frequency just flow through your body
Get this party started, cause baby, babygirl
This is the music for love
Put me on repeat girl, let's go again and again
No matter AM or FM
Cause babygirl, this is the music for love
Wow, we could play the music loud whenever nobody's around
Cause if the sound, it starts to wake up the neighbors
We're gonna have to turn it down, down, down, down
I'm about to have a real eruption, there's gonna be no interruption
Baby come push my buttons, I'll show you all my functions
Press play and let me start, fast forward to your favorite part
After we done, hit rewind and we'll go back to the top
Girl turn me up and let me come through your speakers
Blow the sound out of your tweeters
Cause babygirl this is the music for love
Shawty don't be scared, just let the bass line hit you
Boom boom, all up in your system
Cause babygirl, this is the music for love
Girl, let my frequency just flow through your body
Get this party started, cause baby, babygirl
This is the music for love
Put me on repeat girl, let's go again and again
No matter AM or FM
Cause babygirl, this is the music for love
I'll keep you moving your body
I'll be the DJ, that turns this private party out
I'll play your favorite song
From my I-Tunes to your I-Pod girl
Girl I know how to put it on
Computer Love
And we'll do this all night long
And you can sing along
Just as long as you sing in my microphone
Oh, you ain't gotta worry about parental advisory
Cause girl we're grown
And the music we're making baby, we're making for love
Girl turn me up and let me come through your speakers

Analysis: This song uses alot of personification. He's making the music and the rhythm come to life by saying its him. "Girl turn me up and let me come through your speakers, blow the sound out of your tweeters, cuz baby girl this is the music for love." He is comparing himself to a song and he telling her he loves her, but he does it using things like "shawty dont be scared, just let the bassline hit you." Saying dont be scacred to let things progress and get exciting in the relationship, just let things happen. The metaphor he uses is "music for love" he is comparing music to love without using the words 'like' or 'as'.

Analysis: In Ushers song "burn" he is explaing how he is in a relationship with someone. He no longer ahs feelings for this person and he needs to let her go because he doesnt want to hurt her. He says he loves her but he feels that the relationship is coming to an end. The metaphor in the song is "let it burn". He is trying to say just let it go. Even though it "burns" to stop the relationship and its hurting him he just feels its for the best.
