Troye Sivan Blue Neighborhood Trilogy Analysis

790 Words4 Pages

For my project, I decided to analyze Troye Sivan’s “Blue neighborhood trilogy” and the “love” relationship portrayed between him and his love interest. Blue neighborhood is a trilogy of three songs that tell the story of two childhood friends that through time become lovers. The story focuses on the struggle of their relationship, as it is a homosexual one; the main obstacle being the love interest’s father. The first song “wild” focuses on the boys ' childhood, and the love interest father’s alcohol problem, in regards to the visuals. The lyrics, on the other hand, deal with young unruly love, and how it’s mostly expressed by their passion towards each other, despite what might happen if discovered. The second song “fool”, although more passion is shown they are unfortunately discovered by the father. He tells his son “If he’s here one more time I’ll kill both …show more content…

Even so, he still craves for his physical contact, “for his hands and lips” especially, for the means of sexual pleasure. There are many lyrics that mention his longing for commitment, but the ones that express this the most are the following: “So if you don 't mind, I 'll walk that line, Stuck on the bridge between us, Gray areas and expectations”. By this, he means that he wants to stay with him and help him despite however difficult life can get. He is not only trying to get the relationship back, but wants to maintain the relationship by investing more time and the proper care for the

    Throughout Lost to the West, Lars Brownworth emphasizes the historical significance of the Byzantine Empire by arguing that it facilitated the continuation of the Roman Empire in the face of the Dark Ages not only by preserving the rapidly deteriorating culture of Western Rome but by fundamentally influencing the future of western society. This assertion is first introduced with Emperor Diocletian, the innovative ruler who irreversibly altered the fate of the Roman Empire. Emerging as an unlikely savior after years of civil strife and economic calamity, Diocletian, a Dalmatian soldier, ascended the throne by force and quickly made a crucial realization; the territory of Rome was far too substantial for a single man to rule (Brownworth 2-3). Subsequently, he resolved to divide the

To many, poetry is a confusing group of words, but if the reader looks underneath the surface there is usually a deep hidden meaning of those words. In “America” the speaker is turning the words into metaphors to show the corrupted way of life Americans live. He uses key images in these metaphors to get the reader thinking.

I listened to the blues song on YouTube and the rhythm it made me want to sing along but there was definitely a message behind the song I think about African American slaves.

    As freedom is a life acceptance by everyone, including yourself, it makes life a lot easier. Is freedom really about being accepted? In his short story, “The Strangers That Came to Town” Ambrose Flack is revealing that true freedom is about being accepted. As in the story, Flack shows on how when the Duvitches had moved to town, they were limited in freedom around the community. I believe that true freedom is about being accepted because as the town did not accept the Duvitches at first, it became hard for the family to live and the town thought that they did not have the same value as them.
