Sounds like you’ve got it pretty good already!! I’m not very familiar with the song so I’d have to peruse it a bit further but it sounds pretty good so far heheaaaaaaaah thank you! i was talking to the music teacher at my school, she thought it was a good song to analyse for english! as much as the music video is very cool (and analysable) my english teacher advised against it as the task is supposed to be more like an audiobook and not have any visuals.
in terms of what the music teacher said, she pointed out the last stanza (I wish I was me, whoever that is/I could just be and not give a shit/Hey, I'll be whatever makes you a fan/'Cause I don't know who the hell I am) being unaccompanied by the ‘mess’ of music, highlighting the reflection of the singers self identity and reflection of his human experiences. i can tie it into them loosing themselves to things such as technology (“am” is repeated in an electronic synth, cuts in melody to more electronic sounding instruments instead of an orchestra)
the bass line of the beginning is repetitive showing the begrudging of life and the last bit with all the different harmonies and melodies are them exploring the way their life could be. (which makes sense as the song is supposed to be a ‘table of contents’ of sorts for the rest of the album)
sucks that you can’t use the music video but I guess if the exam format isn’t friendly to it then that makes sense
Anyways pm me if you want to discuss it more, although I might be offline in the near future sooooooo don’t count on me 🫠 very interested to see how it goes though!
