“They Say”, by Scars on Broadway, is a political vendetta against the Bush administration. “I watched the President f*** society” is describing what they see as a horrible person who destroyed the USA. "They say it's all about to end." economist, residents, and even some politicians agree that there is an issue in the economy that seems like it will come to an end.

"They Say"

Scars on Broadway

I walked the line, the line I choose,
I see the people in front of me
I climbed the wall, the wall of news,
I watched them show the tragedy.
If you were me, could you defend
the given rights to all of man?
Let's fuck the world with all it's trend
They say it's all about to end.
They say it's all about to end.
They say, they say.
There's a prison that's gone,
but the fear lives on
I watched you walking on the dotted line,
Maybe you don't see what's in front of me,
Maybe you won't stand the test of time,
For we live in sin, for we will win
I watched the President kiss his family
For we live in sin, for we will win
I watched the President fuck society
If you were me, could you defend
the given rights to all of man?
Let's fuck the world with all it's trend
They say it's all about to end.
They say it's all about to end.
They say, they say.
I fall in love with the old times
I never mention my own mind,
Let's fuck the world with all it's trend
Thank god it's all about to end.
They say it's all about to end.
They say, they say.
They say, they say.
They say it's all about to end!

Empty Walls by Serj Tankian is a political message to the USA about the current international relations with the Middle East. The whole point of the song is to show that there is no point in fighting a part of the world that has been fight for thousands of years. It is in a personal form because Tankian is from Lebanon, so he feels a little more connected to it. Though there are many different views on the war Tankian is not afraid to share his views because he knows that he has right to free speech.


"Empty Walls"
Serj Tankian

Your empty walls...
Your empty walls...
Pretentious attention
Dismissive apprehension
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Taunt you
To see
From behind those empty walls

Those empty walls
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Taunt you
To see
From behind those empty walls
Want you to be
Left behind those empty walls
I taunt you
To see
From behind those empty walls

From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
The walls
From behind those empty walls

I loved you
Yesterday, before
You killed my family.

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Taunt you
To see
From behind those empty walls
Want you to be, left behind those empty walls
Taunt you
To see
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
From behind those fucking walls
From behind those goddamn walls
Those walls...
Those walls...

Foo Fighters - All My Life

This repetition style song is a very moving piece. The consonance is starts at the end of one line then continues in to the next by being the same sound as the first word in the next line. There are also a few examples of assonance. “Another one who believes, another one to deceive, over and over down on my knees.” The ‘ee’ sound is repeated, making it assonance.
This song connects to my theme because it describes the pain and agony of someone who appears to have gone through heart ache. This also seems like it was a very long and emotion relationship, making it more tragic when the end came about.

All my life I've been searching for something
something never comes never leads to nothing
nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
closer to the prize at the end of the rope
all night long I dream of the day
when it comes around and it's taken away
leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
feel it come to life when I see your ghost
calm down don't you resist
you've such a delicate wrist
and if I give it a twist
something to hold when I lose my grip
will I find something in there
to give me just what I need
another reason to bleed
one by one hidden up my sleeve
Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
weight keep pinning me down
will I find a believer
another one who believes
another one to deceive
over and over down on my knees
if I get any closer
and if you open up wide
and if you let me inside
on and on I've got nothing to hide
then I'm done done on to the next one

Stone Temple Pilots - Big Empty

A lot of lines in this song start with the letter T; this makes it an alliteration style song. “Time to wait too long; To wait too long; These conversations kill; To much walkin’, shoes worn thin; Too much trippin’ and my souls worn thin; Time to catch a ride.”
This is a very deep and poetic song. It appears to be about a night that is spent driving a young lady home from a party and they both are under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Then it begins to compare the experience and what it feels like to him. Almost like he’s been through it all before.

Drivin faster in my car
Falling farther from just what we are
Smoke a cigarette and lie some more
These conversations kill
Falling faster in my car
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to take a ride
It leaves today no conversation
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to wait too long
To wait too long
These conversations kill
To much walkin, shoes worn thin
Too much trippin and my souls worn thin
Time to catch a ride
It leaves today, her name is what it means
To much walkin, shoes worn thin

Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire

This metophore is also in the title. "your sex is on fire" its used to say that the sex you are having with this person is amazing. but it also has a deeper meaning; there is an establishment of a new and powerful relationship. the two people just mesh so well that it's compared to and explotion. this is not something felt everyday thats why its so special and makes it so amazing.

Lay where you're laying
Don't make a sound
I know they're watching
They're watching
All the commotion
The killing of pain
Has people talking
Talking
You
Your sex is on fire
The dark of the alley
The break of the day
Head while I'm driving
I'm driving
Soft lips are open
Them knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying
You're dyingYou
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what's just transpired
Hot as a fever
Rattling bones
I could just taste it
Taste it
But it's not forever
But it's just tonight
Oh we're still the greatest
The greatest
The greatest
You
Your sex is on fire
You
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what's just transpired
And you
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what's just transpired

Flyleaf - All Around Me

the title of this song its self can be looked at as a metaphor. the line "i can feel you all around me" is a great because it insinuates that no matter the distance there that will always be there in their thoughts and heart. whether or not the other person feels that same way is up for debate.

My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you
This fire runs in through my being
Burning I'm not used to seeing you
I'm alive, I'm alive
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
My hands float up above me
And you whisper you love me
And I begin to fade
Into our secret place
The music makes me sway
The angels singing say we are alone with you
I am alone and they are too with you
I'm alive, I'm alive
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
And so I cry
The light is white
And I see youI'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
Take my hand
I give it to you
Now you own me
All I amYou said you would never leave me
I believe youI believe
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healed
