Wide Awake

Literary devices be often used in pop songs to give off a certain wit or setting. Katy Perry uses repetition, imagery, allusion and alliterations in her song Wide Awake to explain how an event plenty cause a person to grow or change in perspective. Changing how they see soul or close tothing and change how they feel slightly things. By using these devices it created a realization and regretful mood and tone to her song. This makes her song personal and emotional which allows many people to relate and therefore sells songs. You will learn that majority of stars out there choose deep and meaningful things to sing about to sell much albums.One way she created the mood of her song Wide Awake was by using repetition. In the really beginning she states that shes wide awake, meaning that she has come to realize her mistakes and is seeing things from a different point of image now after the fact. Also she repeats falling from cloud nine throughout the song as well. falling from cl oud nine is a figure of speech saying that she was in love and happy precisely then she fell out of love (falling from cloud nine) and became heartbroken. Falling from cloud nine isnt necessarily considered a good thing and thats exactly what she was saying.Using repetition to create a mood for the song and to plagiarize the listeners into listening to the story behind of the song. Another way she added meaning to her song was by using Imagery. In almost every song that there is there is some sort of imagery warped into it. Because without some sort of story line or description the song wouldnt be any good or entertaining and people wouldnt want to listen to it. In Katies song she creates the image of tang rumbling and castles crumbling. That creates a picture in your head of the actual emotion that shes feeling.Describing her heart break like the cracks and loud booms of thunder during storm, a storm like the break up shes going through. And also describing the same thing with a n octogenarian castle thats finally worn down and falls apart. Lastly I want to talk about the overall meaning of the song. Throughout the song Katy puts in several literary devices as the ones in the paragraphs higher up but the entire song itself is sightly a huge metaphor. In the chorus of her song she says sombreness hurts, you made it so sweet till I woke up on the concrete. Majority of her song revolves approximately these lyrics.Because shes comparing her break up and her realization of what went wrong to earths gravity. Which states whatever goes up must come down, just like her love for him whoever he is had to come to an end eventually and that hurts. In the end all songs are made up different combinations of literary deices and descriptions of real look feelings. these were just some examples using the noteworthy Katy Perrys most recent song. Songs are just really long poems that speak the truth about life itself and how can you create a poem without structure? Yo u cant, and thats why we use literary devices to build a structure for our writing.
