Song analysis

This is my analysis of the song I chose

Analysis:

The lyrics to Coldplay’s “Ink” are very interesting in a deep emotional sense. The lyrics make you think hard to see what they mean, making it not mean what some may think. “I love you so, so much it hurts” is an example of one of the idioms that has a deeper meaning that is not explained. The poet uses words like that to describe their feeling in an abstract way. “I see the road begin to climb” is personification but it means something more. “Just want a way of keeping you inside” is an idiom that means he wants her with him so much that he got a tattoo so he always has a piece of her with him.

The style is one of the most interesting parts of any poem. This poem is a lyric poem. It has about six stanzas; moreover, each stanza is three or four lines in length. There are some rhymes in this poem but interestingly they are usually in three lines in a row. There is a bit of repetition in the lyric that I think pulls the whole thing together. It could also be a ballad because it seems to be telling a story and is set to music but isn’t a rhyme in all places. It seems like they made the poem without really trying to make it rhyme but it still makes it sound amazing.

The tone seems to lean toward an affectionate lyric but it also is kind of unhappy when he talking about pain but the music makes it more upbeat leading toward an odd conclusion. The poem has a lot of thought put into it and this is why its hard to understand what they mean at first. I think the words help get across the message the poem is sending. The upbeat music makes the song not match the words.

My interpretation of this poem is that the writer is trying to say that their significant other is away a lot and this makes him feel almost lost without her this is see when he says: “All I know Is that I’m lost Whenever you go.” When he says “I love you so, so much it hurts” is referring to when she leaves it hurts and its because he loves her so much. The song is written is a way that he is talking to his other. The whole poem seems to piece together to mean that life with her is full of ups and downs but the only downs is when she’s away.

This song is one of my most favourites because of the music but now that I pay attention to the lyrics it shows me the deep meaning behind the song that I neve knew was there. It makes me appreciate the song more in many ways the I didn’t before. The overall message the poem sends across makes a very interesting poem to think about.
