APPENDIX 4.6: The Record of Figurative Language in the Song: Flares
6. Flares
1
Did you lose what wont return?
2
Did you love but never learn?
3
The fires out but still it burns
4
And no one cares, theres no one there
5
Did you find it hard to breathe?
6
Did you cry so much that you could barely see?
7
Youre in the darkness all alone
8
And no one cares, theres no one there Chorus:
9
But did you see the flares in the sky?
10
Were you blinded by the light?
11
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
12
Did you? Did you?
13
Did you see the sparks filled with hope?
14
You are not alone
15
Cause someones out there, sending out flares
16
Did you break but never mend?
17
Did it hurt so much you thought it was the end?
18
Lose your heart but dont know when
19
And no one cares, theres no one there Chorus

APPENDIX 4.7: The Record of Figurative Language in the Song: It’s not
Right for You
7. It’s not Right for You
1
My head, my head is full of things that I shouldve done
2
My heart, my heart is heavy, and it sinks like a stone
3
She said, is this the life youve been dreaming of
4
Spending half the day away from the things you love
5
Its not too late, to do something new

She said, its hard enough trying to live your life
7
But not following your dreams makes you dead inside
8
If you dont love what you do Chorus:
9
Its not right, its not right for you
10
If you even have to think about it
11
Its not right, its not right for you
12
If you really have to think about it

You got one life to love what you do
14
My hands, my hands are scarred by things I shouldnt have done
15
My feet, my feet are weary from all the miles that Ive run
16
She said, open your mind take a look within
17
Are you happy with the world that youre living in
18
If not, you gotta change what you do

She said, and lately I dont see you smiling love
20
Are you happy here with me and the things weve got
21
If you cant say that its true Chorus
22
If we dont do something now then
23
Well never know

If we stay here too long then well, well never grow old

So before its too late and its killing you yeah

Weve only one life to live

So love what you do Chorus

Better hold „cause you‟re taking it all in

In the end, in the end
