2. How to figure out a song's meaning.
Artists write songs and poems to express their own feelings. Finding the meaning
of a song is a demanding task because we do not know what the writer was
feeling at the time of writing the song or poem. Whenever we are successful at
finding the meaning of a song or poem, it brings a great feeling of satisfaction and
appreciation towards the song. These are the steps involved in finding the
meaning of a song:
Step 1: It is very important to know the lyrics of a song.
Step 2: Try to figure out the type of song. Is it classical, country etc.
Step 3: Find out what kind of poetic devices are used and then reexamine the
lyrics. You willbe able to find a whole new meaning of words.
Step 4: Listen to the song while reading the lyrics. It can help you to find a
deeper connection with words. Try to look for the message of the song.
Step 5: Keep an open mind and discuss the meaning with other people. You
will be surprised how different perspectives can open up your mind to new
meanings.
