Quick Question About an OLP-related Project

Post by Furious George »

Hey people. I have a project in English where I have to find a song and analyze its lyrics (and rhythm) to a poem. I know someone here did a similar project and used "Thief" but I'm looking for more suggestions. Remember, the main goal here is to find the most poem-like OLP song. Thanks!

It went AWESOME

Just pick anything with any meaning.

Tip: Pick something that you can somehow relate to something you did in the course (ie... In Repair's views on machine life and human life related to Brave New World [if you did that])

i did superman's dead... and it was directly after a discussion about how little kids are falling into trends :mrgreen: ... it fit perfectly. And it turns out my teacher likes olp!! she knew Raine's Name and talked about the goodness of his lyrics or something. She also pointed out "An ordinary girl an ordinary waste" is a double meaning... that never occured to me before.

Hence the double meaning. "Waste, and Waist". It works both ways.
