So for my analyzing, I chose Drops of Jupiter by Train.
This song is written in a way, to where you get a sense of someone embarking on an adventure in life. There were many types of methods used to try and get this across. First, their was the diction that was used. "Now that she's back from that soul vacation Tracing her way through the constellation". This gets across to me pretty well that the subject of the song, obviously went on some type of adventure. But, as you listen to it more, you kind of realize that it's not a simple adventure, it's like a life journey. "Did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there" Now this line, tells me that it was a journey for finding one's self. So in a way, these can be seen as being symbols within this "journey".
"Now that she's back in the atmosphere""Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day""And did you fall for a shooting star". All of these can be seen as symbols, for things that happen to people, while they go through life. Coming back home after a journey, trying something that you've always wanted to do, falling in love with someone. It is all apart of life, and I think that these references can be seen as symbols towards what we go through in life.
