[Chromatic]

You know, they say english is all about making an argument right,
Well how about this song as a related text for belonging? Huh?

Its an insane death metal song that you could argue could be the consequences of not belonging. If you dont belong, you could be stripped raped and strangled by those who oppose you.

Suggestions... lyrics -
​

They think they know who I am
All they know is I love to kill
Face down, dead on the ground
Find me before another is found

I come alive in the darkness
Left murdered and nameless
Dead, unburied, and rotten
Half eaten by insects

She was so beautiful
I HAD TO KILL HER!

Tied her up
And taped her mouth shut
Couldn't scream
Raped violently
Rope tight, around her throat
Her body twitches
As she chokes

Strangulation caused her death
Just like all the others
Raped before and after death
Stripped, raped, tortured

They're all dead, they're all dead
They're all dead, by strangulation

I come alive in the darkness
Left murdered and nameless
Dead, unburied, and rotten
Half eaten by insects

It felt so good to kill

I took their lives away
Seven dead, lying rotten
Unburied victims
Their naked bodies putrefy

Strangulation caused her death
Just like all the others
Raped before and after death
Stripped, raped, tortured

They're all dead, They're all dead
They're all dead, by strangulation

I come alive in the darkness
Left murdered and nameless
Dead, unburied, and rotten
Half eaten by insects

They think they know who I am
All they know is I love the kill
Face down, dead on the ground
Find me before another is found

Personal opinion, but from my experience from Cannibal Corpse, I wouldn't choose it because you can't hear the words.

 

[darkcounty]

Nice song but the link to belonging is limited and it would be difficult working in those techniques to prove your ideas. You'd be giving yourself a hard time by attempting to relate this to your prescribed text .

Go for it. If you have a close enough connection to the song your passion will come through in your analysis. Just remember it's all about techniques. Analyse the music as well as the lyrics.

"She was so beautiful
I had to kill her"
- juxtaposition of beauty and death, oxymoronic, it creates vivid imagery (for me anyway)

 

[I.refuse.a.name]

I would not choose this song for an English Belonging related text as there aren't enough different aspects of Belonging/not Belonging to explore but more importantly, your song may be a bit too unnecessarily graphic for your marker and they may mark you down accordingly (whether you deserve it or not).
