Ms. Lily’s class did a lesson with Mr. Knighton on figurative language in lyrics. Figurative language is language where there things stand for something else (like a rose for a romance), or what is said is not literally true, but instead conveys another meaning (example, “I’ve got your back” does not mean you have or are holding my back).
Please go to Lyrics Mode and find the lyrics to a song you like and is appropriate for school (that means no cussing, drugs, drinking, or “romance” beyond the kissing stage). Copy the URL for the lyrics, and send me a comment with that URL or link, and why you picked the song. I will be looking for a song with good figurative language for us to “study” next time. If I pick your song, I will make it worth your while with a reward to be determined later.

I’m holding
On your rope
Got me 10 feet
Off the ground
I’m hearin’
What you say
But I just
Can’t make a sound
You tell me
That you need me
Then you go
And cut me down
But wait
You tell me
That you’re sorry
Didn’t think
I’d turn around
And say
That it’s too late
To apologize
It’s too late
I said
It’s too late
To apologize
It’s too late
I’d take
Another chance
Take a fall
Take a shot for you
I need you
Like a heart
Needs a beat
It’s nothing new
Yeah
I loved you
With a fire red now
It’s turning blue
And you say
Sorry like an angel
Heaven let me
Think was you
But I’m afraid
It’s too late
To apologize
It’s too late
I said
It’s too late
To apologize
It’s too late
It’s too late
To apologize
It’s too late
I said
It’s too late
To apologize
It’s too late
I’m holding
On your rope
Got me 10 feet off
The ground
This part “I loved you With a fire red now It’s turning blue And you say Sorry like an angel Heaven let me Think was you But I’m afraid” is his girlfriend wants him back. The boy use to love her a lot and now he don’t love her anymore. When she says sorry he thinks about her but he’s afraid to get her back.
The part “I’d take Another chance Take a fall Take a shot for you I need you Like a heart Needs a beat It’s nothing new” it means that he still want her back because he cares for her a lot. She is everything he need in order to live. He wants her to stay with him forever.

Here is my song lyrics and the song is Love story.
When Taylor Swift talks about herself being Juliet and her boyfriend being Romeo, she means that their families don’t like each other. Their families don’t want them to be with each other but they love each other.

Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand
So why your love went away
I just can’t seem to understand
Thought it was me and you babe
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong
Don’t want to think about it
Don’t want to talk about it
I’m just so sick about it
Can’t believe it’s ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can’t do without ya
Tell me is this fair?
Is this the way it’s really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should’ve known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It’s breaking my heart to watch you run around
‘Cause I know that you’re living a lie
That’s okay baby ’cause in time you will find…
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe
And now, it’s all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong
Don’t want to think about it
Don’t want to talk about it
I’m just so sick about it
Can’t believe it’s ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can’t do without ya
Can you tell me is this fair?
Is this the way things are going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should’ve known better when you came around (should’ve known better that you were gonna make me cry)
That you were going to make me cry
Now it’s breaking my heart to watch you run around
‘Cause I know that you’re living a lie
That’s okay baby ’cause in time you will find
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that
What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that
Don’t want to think about it (no)
Don’t want to talk about it
I’m just so sick about it
Can’t believe it’s ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it (yeah)
I just can’t do without ya
Tell me is this fair?
Is this the way things are going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should’ve known better when you came around (should’ve known better that you were gonna make me cry)
That you were going to make me cry
Now it’s breaking my heart to watch you run around
‘Cause I know that you’re living a lie
But that’s okay baby ’cause in time you will find
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
[Comes Around interlude:]
Yo
Yo
Let me paint this picture for you, baby
You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get’s a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he’s doing to you
What you did to me
Ain’t that the way it goes
You cheated girl
My heart bleeded girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved
And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right
But girl I ain’t somebody with a lot of sympathy
You’ll see
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
See?
You should’ve listened to me, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Because
(What goes around comes back around)
Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand
This means that there was a girl who liked some boy. And some other boy asked her i he was right for her. Because he thought that he was.
You cheated girl
My heart bleeded girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved
This is saying that the girl cheated and he feels hurt a lot, but she got it back.
what goes around comes around means she cheted on him and he cheted on her.
