Analyze a Song

Catch Me, a song by the disney artist Demi Lovato, is a song in which she wrote herself talking about love and how it feels falling in love. Throughout the song, her emotions are embodied within the lyrics in which she created. Deep within the lyrics, there is a meaning behind every word; just as in a poem. As I annotated the song, I came across many techniques that help Demi show her emotions through words.

In each new verse of the song, the first two lines are either an end rhyme or a slant rhyme. By using this, not only does it make the song catchy, but it relates the two lines together. For example it relates how to leave fast but kiss me and make it last before you go together. Also, the euphony of the lyrics creates this smooth pattern of the song. It allows certain words to stand out and create the happy and love tone to the song as well. There are also enjambments that creates this pause in the lyrics, that draws attention to certain words as well. By using these certain techniques, the close attention to the words, helps show the feelings of Demi within this song.
