Theme Of Tell Your Heart To Beat Again
Though there are many themes in the song Tell Your Heart To Beat Again, the one that helps express the most important thing in life is that living can be hard. S2L3 says that the world makes you feel like you’re being covered by a shadow. However, the song doesn’t mean that something is constantly blocking you from the sun. Figuratively, the shadow stands for your hardships following you around such as; depression; pain; anger and frustration. This shows why the theme of the song is that life can be tough because maddening circumstances can create these problems that follow you around as a shadow. If you do decide to let go and forget about all the frustrating situations in life than your “shadow” can fall away and you can do the most important …show more content…
Inconveniently, this expresses the theme because the world makes life harsher by causing you to believe if you can’t go back to the person you once were then you can’t be happy again. Sadly, that is true because if you keep thinking that you can’t go back to your normal happy self - you won’t go back. However, this is why the most important thing in life is to move on. If you keep thinking about how a troubled situation made you unhappy - then you will stay unhappy; if you decide to move on then you at least have the possibility of being happy again. Lastly, S3L6 is an example of the theme. Darkness represents your depression, anger and frustration. Living can be tough because sometimes there are situations that will push you into “darkness”. However, if you dwell in your “darkness” - you will stay in your “darkness”. But if you choose to move on, which is important in life, you no longer covered in …show more content…
Lyrically, the tone of Tell Your Heart To Beat Again was inspirational. For instance, in S5L6-7 “ In this moment heaven’s working everything for your good”. These two lines make the tone inspiring because even when you feel like you’re in a bad situation God has a plan for you and he could be using that bad situation to it turn into something good. It also proves how important it is in life to move on. If you focus on how everything is going bad and do nothing to fix it - the situation will stay bad. However, if you move on and trust that God is working everything for your good, then you have a chance of your situation turning out for the better. Another example of an inspiring tone is S6L5-6. The tone is inspiring in these lines because it says, “ Yesterday is a closing door you don’t live there anymore” meaning the past is the past and you no longer need to dwell in it. However, if you do choose to dwell in your past you are forced to “live in yesterday”, which is why, in life, it is important to move on. Lastly S3L4-5 also made the tone of Tell Your Heart To Beat Again inspiring. The words made the tone inspiring because it said that love’s hands have pulled you through and you can finally take your first step into recovery. Also, this made the tone inspiring because it showed that if you don’t get back up from the ground, then you can’t move on; proving that, in life, it

    Tim O Brody On The Bridge Loneliness Quotes

    The theme is one way that humans can feel loneliness in these two stories. In “On the rainy river”, the main character is confused about the decision he has to make, either swim to Canada or go fight in the war. In “The Minster’s Black Veil”, the minster has a secret sin that he keeps to his self until his death. According to this quote, “The style reaches a level of comic burlesque in the description of the deputation” (Dorsey). The protagonist in each story has to live with the decisions that they make, even though they know it is the wrong choices.…

    Examples: Fahrenheit 451

    Light and darkness also helps develop theme. In the book there is the theme of fire as protection and fire as destruction and loss. “One time, as a child, in a power failure, his mother had found and lit a last candle and there had been a brief hour of rediscovery, of such illumination that space lost its vast dimensions and drew comfortably around them, and they, mother and son, alone, transformed, hoping that the power might not come on again too soon. . . .” This shows how fire can protect them from the dark. The second example is at the very beginning when the narrator says “It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed.” This shows how obsession the firemen can get involved in, in their daily routines and jobs. It is a really evil, dark, and destructive way of life but it was best described through the use of darkness.…

    Multiple Themes In Charlie Gordon's Flowers For Algernon

    However, I can see how people might see other themes as the best choice. Other people might choose a theme differently from mine saying that intelligence isn’t everything. I understand that this could be a choice from other people’s perspectives, but it is really about how you view the story, whereas, once Charlie turns to be smart, he finds that his happiness is gone. Once his intelligence flows in, good and bad thoughts stroll in as well. Nevertheless, I still stick with my theme that sometimes too much of a good thing can end up being bad.…

    Ishmael Beah's A Long Way Gone

    “Every day every hour. Turn the pain into power.” Danny O’Donoghue, a vocalist member of the band The Script, sings in “Superheroes” about the strength that comes with overcoming the struggles presented in life; similarly this message can be seen in Ishmael Beah’s recount of the challenges he faced as a victim of war, A Long Way Gone. To me, the song is a reminder of how difficulties can build someone into a stronger person. Throughout the song, all the lyrics hint that without suffer and perseverance, success cannot be achieved. Similarly, in Beah’s story, he becomes a teenager with more fortitude only after breaking down and experiencing immense grief and pain both physically and mentally. From listening to and analyzing “Superheroes” and reading A Long Way Gone, I learn that only after breaking down and…

    Theme- In poetry, fiction, or drama, the theme is the dominating idea in a work (Pearson 547). In Ha Jin’s An Entrepreneur’s Story, the theme seemed to be disappointment. All throughout the story the main character thought by having money, the perfect girl, and everything that came along with it would make him happy. The outcome of the situation with Manshan, his wealth, and the mother-in-law shows him that getting what he wanted didn’t make his life turn out to be any happier than he pictured (Pearson 265).…

    Book Summary: The Shack By William P. Young

    Seeing the whole picture is key here in this book, though on the other hand, it isn’t the theme of the book exactly. Despite what many others may often believe, the theme of the book goes much deeper into what we can comprehend. It’s more throughout the purpose of coming back to God not only in the midst of our, as I mention it again, “Great Sadness”, but also in our joyful times as well. We need both in order to have Him all the time in our lives. So all in all it’s that when you are going through something joyous or depressing of nature, you must let God in as shown…

    Thematic Analysis of Kit's Wilderness by David Almond

    Darkness and light is perhaps the main theme of the book. Constantly, throughout the novel, darkness and light is present and mentioned although, used many times, in different contexts. For example “Grandpa moved in and out of his darkness” and “….into the fringes of the light” are both about darkness and light but mean different things. The first quote means that Grandpa moved in and out of being happy and talking to people and knowing that they were there, sometimes he acted almost as though he was dead. Whereas, the second quote means actual light that is produced from the sun. However, “At times it seemed that there would be no end to it, that there would just be darkness, that there would be no light.” could have either of these meanings or a different one altogether. A lot of Kit’s Wilderness is set in caves and places underground which, when we are reading these parts, gives us a sense of darkness.…

    Crossing the Swamp

    The entirety of the poem is a metaphor of a man's crisis in life. The first part of the poem, or until "into the black, slack," is dark. This portion depicts the darkness's of life, such as death and the hard ships. The third stanza mentions "…here/ is struggle, / closure --/ pathless, seamless / peerless mud… "which is a reference to life. Life is full of struggles like the struggles one would have trying to cross a swamp. There is no clear path or a person aiding you while you cross the mode, as there is no one to help you through the "hipholes, hammocks" in life. The mans' "… bones / knock together at the pale / joints …" which shows that the man's struggles in life have been long and tedious. The struggle has been so lengthy that it has even begun to wear on the bones and joints in his body. Imagery is used to give the readers feeling of disgust and sorrow. Words such as "mud," "dark blurred / faintly belching bogs" give a negative connotation and make people think of darkness, specifically, the darkness's in life.…

    Poetic Analysis of Song Lyrics Essay

    “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” is one of those songs that make you shake your head when you really listen to the lyrics. The mood of the song is dark and filled with rage. Billy Corgan as a lyricist draws you into his world of thumping darkness, into a dark dungeon with a possible exit in the ceiling, the skies above, though gray, may offer up a chance to get out. In his lyric “the world is a vampire, sent to drain,” he is telling us we are drained, every day. That external forces are draining us of everything, even though we are struggling to succeed and define our lives. He even, through his lyrics, implies that we don’t want to escape the darkness, that we may have created it ourselves. The tone of the song or overall feeling is horrific and macabre with the ending chorus of “and still I cannot be saved” almost desperate and pleading. Throughout the song, Corgan has pronounced his frustration with the fact the he is destined to be damned. The progression of the song takes us from being very frustrated with our position in life and “the hand we’ve been dealt” so to speak, but by the end of the song in the lyric “tell me I’m the chosen one” there is a sense of acceptance and that acceptance slowly turns into something to own and be proud of, a very valuable life lesson. (Rock,rapgenius.com). In this essay I will endeavor to show how Mr. Corban uses simile, metaphor, and symbolism in his song “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” as poetic devices to convey his message of his own personal struggle within the music industry…

    Tell Tale Heart Essay

    Although both versions of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" were equally entertaining, the cartoon version of the story is more effective in conveying the narrators insanity than the performance. There are multiple reasons why the cartoon was much more successful in expressing the narrators madness. Some of these reasons include the distinct sound effects, prominent facial expressions, outstanding computer effects and even the hinting at another hidden message in the story.…

    Dead River Quotes

    The author uses the character Cyn, words and actions to reveal the theme: the fear of death is crippling. For example, Cyn once said, “Unfortunately, it wasn’t. So I guess that means it will be the tenth anniversary of my mom’s death.” The meaning of this quote is that unfortunately Cyn’s mother had died at the drowned in a river. However, she feels as if it isn’t so because she feels as if her mother is still there. Additionally, she later says, ”Please take me gently down the stream where I can't be hurt. Somehow I can’t escape the thoughts of icy cold water and death even when writing.” This quote means that the death of her mother in the cold frigid water still haunts her and that when her mother was carried away that she was taken to heaven or some other after life where she could not be harmed. These examples have shown that this theme has been shown throughout…
