1.) "Your friends have always liked me but I told you that you shouldn't listen
'Cause picking wings off of angels, has always been my religion"
Song: Find Someone
My Thoughts: The lyrics in this song portray someone who cannot reciprocate the love that someone else feels for them. They encourage their lover to find someone else who can love them back. These couple of lines poetically communicate the singer's self-disparaging tactic of encouraging the person being addressed to move on.
2.) "It's all locked up inside
This giant hole, this stupid quicksand life of mine
And I guess I can't let go, even though I've tried
But it'll stay here with me till the day I die"
Song: Nostalgic
My Thoughts: One of my favorite songs by A R I Z O N A, Nostalgic perfectly summates the feeling of nostalgia. Pain, darkness, and sadness are portrayed among other topics in this song. The lyrics I chose above, reveal how the songwriter could incorporate a frustrated and upset tone through the choice of words and phrases like "stupid" and "guess" and "quicksand life."
3.) "I've got a cold, heart, cold hands
Make you want to be where I am
If you only knew my plans
Oh, if you only knew who I am"
Song: Let me Touch Your Fire
My Thoughts: These lyrics set an eery and dark tone for this song; a song in which the singer describes their desire to be with the person being addressed.
4.) "She falls in love every night
And she don't even know what love is like
She been dancing in the dark throughout her life
It's not her fault that she wants what she wants, yeah"
Song: Wants What She Wants
My Thoughts: In my opinion, this song is a commentary on people living life, seeking temporary pleasures, and, in doing so, are absorbed in the material world and miss out on true love.
5.) "And I know I haven't been perfect, but give it some time
There's not a single day goes by where you don't cross my mind
And we spend our lives looking for things we can't find, oh
Oh, but not a single day goes by where you don't cross my mind"
Song: Cross My Mind
My Thoughts: This song details a relationship that is imperfect, yet unforgettable. It makes listeners question whether they should keep searching for perfect relationships that "we cannot find" or take a risk by listening to your heart.
