Lyrics

Here i am going to analyse the lyrics of the song i have chosen, i will highlight specific words which i think would be important when making my video.







There’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth

There’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt

It’s still a little hard to say what's going on

There’s still a little bit of your ghost your witness

There’s still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed

You step a little closer each day

That I can´t say what´s going on

Stones taught me to fly

Love, it taught me to lie

Life, it taught me to die

So it's not hard to fall

When you float like a cannonball



There’s still a little bit of your song in my ear

There’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear

You step a little closer to me

So close that I can't see what's going on



Stones taught me to fly

Love taught me to lie

Life taught me to die

So its not hard to fall

When you float like a cannon



Stones taught me to fly

Love, it taught me to cry

So come on courage, teach me to be shy'

Cause its not hard to fall,

And I don't want to scare her

Its not hard to fall

And i don't want to lose

Its not hard to grow

When you know that you just don't know



Little bit

In terms of this song this short phrase suggests the idea that you aren't getting very far, the idea that your only moving a little bit at a time, the video involves a young girl dreaming to be a dancer, therefore its suggesting that she isn't getting very far.

Whats going on

This phrase suggests the idea of confusion. The idea that the girl in the video is so far into daydream that she is loosing sense of reality. It suggests that she just doesn't understand or that things don't make sense.

closer each day

This is one similar to 'little bit' in a way that it shows she isn't getting much further by the day, but in this sense its suggesting that is is actually getting somewhere even if it is slowly. The idea that she will achieve what she wants it will just take time.

float

This is the idea that she is in a dream world, that she isn't in reality. She doesn't have her feet on the ground because she is so far into her daydream. This is also a suggestion for the dancer herself because it shows that the dancing is so graceful that the dancer is near to floating

song

A very literal meaning for this part of the song. This would suggest how much the girl loves her music and dancing and is just an emphasis to show that.

fly

Another idea similar to the 'floating'. Again the girl is in her daydream therefore she isn't on the ground. Although she does seem to be upset and down, the idea of dreaming is keeping her flying so to speak.

fall

This is a different connotation because this suggests that things could go wrong, her dreams of being a dancer could be ruined. the full line for this part is 'its not hard to fall' which again shows that its not difficult for the girl to have her hopes ruined by something.

don't know

The last two words of the song. The idea that because she is down about the whole situation she has given up on many things and just doesn't seem to know what to do anymore. There is no determination shown, simply just the want for dance.



This information should help me build my music video.
