Song: Take Care by Drake ft. Rihanna

 

Lyrics that strike me : 

 

“I’ve loved and I’ve lost”

“Ah, dealin’ with a heart that I didnt break”

“You hate bein’ alone, well, you aint the only one”

 

Repetitions I noticed:

 

“I’ll take care of you”

“If you let me, here’s what I’ll do”

 

Changes noticed:

The melody and beat changes constantly throughout the song. Everyone’s favorite part of the song is the end, when the unidentified male singer is singing. Listening to this song in the past we all thought it was a lit song. Listening to it now, thinking about the past it is now a sad song.

Song : FACE by BROCKHAMPTON

Lyrics that strike me :

“It feels like I can see the past in your eyes”

“But I got the dream and if you believe, then I can take you somewhere that is pristine”

“But I got a plan for ya, I’m taking a stand for ya, I care for ya”

Based on these three lyrics, you can tell that the song is about making someone happier or taking them to a better place in their life. The past in their eyes can be pain that they show and easily shown in their eyes.

Repetitions Noticed:

“ I just wanna love ya”

“I just wanna hold ya”

“Tell me what you’re waiting for”

Changes Noticed:

The lyrics go from making it seem like the intention is to get the other person to open up and let them change their life for the better, but once the chorus ends and BROCKHAMPTON starts the verse in a different tone and the lyrics also change to him being scared to trust and wanting nothing to do with the person he’s trying to make happier sometimes.
