Summary Of The Song 'Run'

857 Words4 Pages

The song “Run” by BTS explores the dangers of one-sided adoration. The singer expresses the pain that he experiences due to his very deep devotion and yearning for his lover, who does not return the same emotion. The song discusses the various changes in the singer’s feelings about what to do with his unrequited love. His indecisiveness causes his consciousness to go between blaming himself and blaming the distinct person for his inner agony. The singer “running” is a metaphor for self-destruction. For the singer, the action of running is the only action he is capable of, but running represents all the deeds that are done to keep his companion. Though the singer recognizes the problem, the strife never seems to be resolved. There is no positive progression made by the singer throughout the song, …show more content…

The only difference is that they deliver it differently, going back and forth between singing and rapping. This aspect can cause the differing in mood and tone in the song; rapping can make the lyrics seem more angry and rough while singing can make the song sound wistful and somber. Shifts in mood and tone can be seen all throughout the song due to the different vocalists and rappers working together, but there is a prominent change in the tone when the rappers change for the first time. After Kim Namjoon delivers his rap in the first verse, rapper Min Yoongi starts to rap his part which is noticeably angrier and rougher while Namjoon’s is more serene and calm. This change in tone, as well as the lyrics, cause the listener to feel a strong surge of emotion from Yoongi’s rap and can assume that the one rapping is currently angry at himself and blaming himself for the situation he is in. The lyrics “I run and run, but I’m not getting anywhere” serve as an example that brings the listener to the conclusion that the rapper is distraught and frustrated at the ongoing

One song that my brother and I grew up listening to, though it is a really old song, and uses call-and-response is “Shout” by The Isley Brothers. I believe that the song “Shout” uses call-and-response form because there is a constant question-and-answer pattern.

  • Comparison Of Memory And Reznor's

    They are different as Cash’s version is more of a feeling of regret while Reznor’s version is sadness. Both songs are similar as they actually express the singers’ feelings and that they are both hurt by something. Both songs are actually conveying their life experiences to listener. My interpretation for Reznor’s version is that he is singing the song based on one of his sad experiences in life be it his heartbreak or drug addiction while Cash is singing his whole life experiences- the sadness, the regret and the happiness that he had lost. When I listened to reznor’s version, images of people sitting alone in the darkness crying while Cash’s version makes me think of elderly sitting on a rocking chair staring at the door, waiting for their

    Growing up in a society obsessed with the concept of sappy love stories, it is easy to find flaws with the unrealisticness of such accounts of love. Songwriter Taylor Swift contributes to the popular trend of mainstream love stories in her own composition, “Love Story.” Throughout her song, Swift effectively incorporates the use of various figurative devices to relate her own love story with that of the famous Shakespearean lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Swift conveys the strength of her forbidden love, in similarity with that of Romeo and Juliet’s, through the use of metaphors, hyperboles, and allusions. First and foremost, Swift uses clear examples of metaphors throughout her song to maintain the resemblance of Romeo and Juliet’s love story with her own love story.
