I'm Alive! by BECCA

In my school, we are studying about poetry. And there was one cool project last week. It was to explain your English favorite song by explaining elements of poetry in my song. I don't really listen to English song, but I found one in my I-pod. The title is "I'm ALIVE!". It was the ending theme song of anime called "Kuroshitsuji", so if you are interested , you should watch these anime on veoh or youtube. This is the lyric of this song.

I’m ALIVE!

Nothing I say comes out right

I can’t love without a fight

No one ever knows my name

When I pray for sun, it rains

I’m so sick of wasting time

But nothing’s moving in my mind

Inspiration can’t be found

I get up and fall but

I’m ALIVE!, I’m ALIVE! oh yeah

Between the good and bad’s

Where you’ll find me

Reaching for heaven

I will fight

And I’ll sleep when I die

I’ll live my life I’m ALIVE!

Every lover breaks my heart

And I know it from the start

Still I end up in a mess

Every time I second guess

All my friends just run away

When I’m having a bad day

I would rather stay in bed but I know there’s a reason

I’m ALIVE!, I’m ALIVE! oh yeah

Between the good and bad’s

Where you’ll find me

Reaching for heaven

I will fight

And I’ll sleep when I die

I’ll live my life I’m ALIVE!

When I’m bored to death at home

When he won’t pick up the phone

When I’m stuck in second place

Those regrets I can’t erase

Only I can change the end

Of the movie in my head

There’s no time for misery

I won’t feel sorry for me

I’m ALIVE!, I’m ALIVE! oh yeah

Between the good and bad’s

Where you’ll find me

Reaching for heaven

I will fightAnd I’ll sleep when I die

I’ll live my life

I’m ALIVE!, I’m ALIVE! oh yeah

Between the good and bad’s

Where you’ll find me

Reaching for heaven

I will fight

And I’ll sleep when I die

I’ll live my hard life..

I’ll live my life I’m ALIVE!

She is using many elements of poetry in her song. For example, this is lyrics of song, so it has rhythm. She also used many repetitions by repeating “I’m Alive” again and again. I found many rhymes, that why this song sound cool, maybe. And obviously this lyric is consisting of 7 stanzas.

Nice song, isnt it? I love this song and the rhythm of this song! If ou want know more things about BECCA, here is her website: http://beccachan.com/
