In “How to Disappear,” a song from her last album, Norman Fucking Rockwell!, Lana Del Rey leads us to expect a how-to manual, but she gives us a poem instead: “Now it’s been years since I left New York / I got a kid and two cats in the yard / The California sun and the movie stars I watch the skies getting light as I write / As I think about those years / As I whisper in your ear / I’m always gon’ to be right here / No one’s going anywhere.” Such an unabashed display of sentimentality is compounded by the photographic and/or painterly image on the album’s cover, in which Del Rey clings to a man, a handsome man, and she clings to the American flag and Americana, and she clings to kitsch and she clings to melodrama and the problematic histories that each of these normative and patriarchal phenomena might provide, even as they all sink together. Staying with the doomed ship (loving the doomed ship, even) is an act of radical generosity.

Truth From Within revolves around the progressive metal band named Tool and how it contains so much more meaning than just ‘some cool music to listen to’. Music has the power to influence people through the overall sound, the lyrics, and even the videos made for the music. Tool should not be judged by a first glance at the song titles or images displayed, but should be analyzed and meditated upon to find its true meaning. Many of the songs have powerful initial feelings portrayed and use themes such as addiction, drugs, and abuse, which some may say is evil and should be kept from people. If you look deeper into these songs they are only using these themes to make a powerful and shocking message that goes so much deeper. This paper sought the song meanings through interviews, quotes during live concerts, the music and videos, as well as outside resources that supported these ideas through research. The songs bring about ideas of lack of empathy, addiction, choosing compassion over fear and being connected with one another, as well as finding truth in a world where everything revolves around listening to directions and following rules. Tool incorporates philosophy, spirituality, politics, truth, and psychology in their music as well as countless more themes, making them have a lot to say with a unique and shocking visual aid of these themes, making it a sort of brutal honesty.

Reading Song Lyrics offers the first systematic introduction to lyrics as a vibrant genre of (performed) literature. It takes lyrics seriously as a complex form of verbal art that has been unjustly neglected in literary, music, and, to a lesser degree, cultural studies, partly as it cuts squarely across institutional boundaries. The first part of this book accordingly introduces a thoroughly transdisciplinary interpretive framework. It outlines theoretical approaches to issues such as performance and performativity, generic convention and cultural capital, sound and songfulness, mediality and musical multimedia, and step by step applies them to the example of a single song. The second part then offers three extended case studies which showcase the larger cultural and historical viability of this model. Probing into the relationship between lyrics and the ambivalent performance of national culture in Britain, it offers exemplary readings of a highly subversive 1597 ayre by John Dowland, of an 1811 broadside ballad about Sara Baartman, ‘The Hottentot Venus’, and of a 2000 song by ‘jungle punk’ collective Asian Dub Foundation. Reading Song Lyrics demonstrates how and why song lyrics matter as a paradigmatic art form in the culture of modernity. full text: http://www.scribd.com/doc/75704917/Eckstein-Reading-Song-Lyrics
