"You Wouldn't Like Me" by: Teagan & Sara
There's a war inside of me
Do I cause new heartbreak to write
A new broken song?
Do I push it down?
Or let it run me right into the ground?
Oh I, I feel like
I wouldn't like me if I met me
Well I can't stop talking for fear
Of listening to unwelcome sound
And you haven't called me in weeks and
Honestly, it's bringing me down
Oh, I, I feel like I wouldn't like me if I met me
I, I feel like you wouldn't like me if you met me
And don't you worry, there's still time
Don’t you worry, there’s still time
There’s nothing to live for
When I'm sleeping alone
And I wash the windows outside in
Hopes that the glare will bring you around
I, I feel like I wouldn't like me if I met me
I, I feel like you wouldn't like me if you met me
So you don’t you worry there’s still time
Don’t you worry there’s still time
So you don’t you worry there’s still time
Don’t you worry there’s still time
So you don’t you worry there’s still time
Don’t you worry there’s still time
Sunshine is days away
I won't be saved, I know all the words
I can't say that I'll love you forever
Sunshine is days away
I won't be saved, I know all the words
I won't say that I'll love you forever
Song "Dissection"
I think that the lyrics in this song have multiple hidden meanings behind them, some that even describe me. The first five lines in particular really fit me because a lot of the time I have difficulty deciding weather to brush my feelings aside and move on, or to let it bring me down and express my feelings. Other than relating to myself, this song has lyrics that use symbolism and metaphors as well. For example, the line that says "And I wash the windows outside in hopes that the glare will bring you around" means that if she cleans up her act and betters herself on the outside, than the one she loves will notice and come back. The last hidden meaning behind this song is found in the chorus: "I, I feel like I wouldn't like me if I met me". This line is saying that she has pretty low self esteem with herself becasue she is probably not happy with the actions she has done or how she presents herself. It can also mean that she understood why her love left her because she isn't even happy with herself. This song has different meanings that go past the literal meaning and I feel parts of it can even relate to me.
HOLLY,
ReplyDeleteI like your dissection a lot and how you expained the song to the listeners. I however, think that you should have talked more about yourself and how it relates to you, you only wrote a couple of lines about the relation to you and i think that this is making the dissection lack a bit. i also think that it is a good analysis of the song though, so that is good. i just think you need a bit more personal reflection in it!

ReplyDeleteHolly,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Elliott but I thought you related it to yourself well even if it was short. I like when you analyzed the line, "And I wash the windows outside in hopes that the glare will bring you around" because it made a lot of sense and seemed like it was well thought out. I think it would've been good if you had also analyzed the part that says "Well I can't stop talking for fear of listening to unwelcome sound" because I don't really know what that could mean. But over all I thought the dissection was very descriptive and I learned a lot from it! My interpretation of the song was pretty much the same as what I saw in your dissection.
