Analysis of Lyrics

I'm really lame and have absolutely no taste in music. I honestly listen to anything that KDWB plays and if that makes me "basic" I really don't care. Fight me. I definitely have a few songs that piss me off because they are over played and annoying (Roar by Katy Perry) but there are some that I also really like. Recently, I've been listening to "Alone Together" by Fall Out Boy and I just sat down to listen, to actually listen to the lyrics. Not gonna lie but this was kind of hard.

First of all, the title is an oxymoron. I'm really proud of myself for being able to notice that. Alone together.. what? How does that work. Yep oxymoron. 

I also just read through the lyrics and realized that there are only 5 parts to the song and the rest is being repeated. I don't know what's up with that. Is F.O.B lacking originality with this song? Come on. 5 versus? Kind of disappointing. Also, the main point of this song is that this guy wants to be alone with this one girl. Just the two of them. Ok. That makes sense. There is also a metaphor because F.O.B compares his heart to a stallion, which I personally don't get. Anyways, like I said in my opinion this song kind of lacks creativity because there are only 5 versus. But I still really like it. Why? Because of the message. Of only one of the 5 versus. I think it's super cute to just be alone with one single person whether it's your boyfriend (blech, mushy i know) or with your friend. I also think it's super cool that the song's title is an oxymoron. But, my favorite part of the song is the instrumental version, not the words. And I know that kind of defeats the purpose of this assignment because it's supposed to be an analysis of the language but hey, I just really like the song and the message. 



"Alone Together"

I don't know where you're going
But do you got room for one more troubled soul?
I don't know where I'm going but I don't think I'm coming home
And I said I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead
This is the road to ruin
And we're starting at the end

Say yeah
Let's be alone together
We could stay young forever
Scream it from the top of your lungs
Say yeah
Let's be alone together
We could stay young forever
We'll stay young, young, young, young, young.

You cut me off, I lost my track
It's not my fault, I'm a maniac
It's not funny anymore, no it's not

My heart is like a stallion
They love it more when it's broke in
Do you wanna feel beautiful?
Do you wanna?

I'm outside the door, invite me in
So we can go back and play pretend
I'm on deck, yeah, I'm up next
Tonight I'm high as a private jet

'Cause I don't know where you're going
But do you got room for one more troubled soul?
I don't know where I'm going but I don't think I'm coming home
And I said I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead
This is the road to ruin
And we're starting at the end

Say yeah
Let's be alone together
We could stay young forever
Scream it from the top of your lungs
Say yeah
Let's be alone together
We could stay young forever
We'll stay young, young, young, young, young.

My heart is like a stallion,
They love it more when it's broke in
Do you wanna feel beautiful?
Do you wanna?

I'm outside the door, invite me in
So we can go back and play pretend
I'm on deck, yeah, I'm up next
Tonight I'm high as a private jet, yeah

Yeah
Let's be alone together
We could stay young forever
Scream it from the top of your lungs
Say yeah
Let's be alone together
We could stay young forever
We'll stay young, young, young, young, young.

I don't know where you're going
But do you got room for one more troubled soul?
I don't know where I'm going but I don't think I'm coming home
And I said I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead
This is the road to ruin
And we started at the end
