Lyric Analysis

The name of my song is I won't back down. the artist is Tom Petty and the heartbreaers. I choose these lyrics because I can relate this to all the choices.I chose to connect them to myself, the themes of the novel, and the society we live in.

I am Connecting this to the themes of the novel. I won't back down that is a part in the song I can resate that to the theme because that is what Armpit is doing they are throwing abstecles in his way but he won't back down.

I can connect this to myself because I because I will stand my ground and that is one part of the song. There is a pitcher in my baseball league that throws about 80 miles an hour. I used to be scared but if you don't back down he will be scared to throw strikes.

I can connect this to the society we live in because, if you give up you will end up as a homeless person on the street.

I think from this song I will now listen to the lyrics better and will try to relate them to me.

Lyrics

Well I Won't back down
no I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of hell
but I won't back down
no I'll stand my ground
won't be turned around
and I'll keep this world from draggin me down
gonna stand my ground
and I won't back down.

Hey, baby. There ain't no easy way out.
Hey yeah, I will stand my ground.
And I won't back down.

Well I know whats right
I got just got one life
in a world that keeps on pushin me around
but I'll stand my ground
and I won't back down.

Hey, baby. There ain't no easy way out.
Hey yeah, I will stand my ground.
And I won't back down.

Hey, baby. There ain't no easy way out.
Hey yeah, I won't back down
hey, baby. There Ain't no easy way out.
Hey yeah, I will stand my ground
and I won't back down.
