Your First Love
When teenagers find their first love, or the person they fall in love with it is a big deal. All their emotions are doubled because it’s their ‘first time’ for everything; teens think it will affect them forever. It’s their transition to children to adults; this is also referred to as coming of age, or growing up. Love comes in a few steps such as the happy stage, then the problems start, and next is the breakup. You’re usually young when having your first love, so you likely don’t have the intelligence to understand relationships and all your feelings yet. You generally gain this insight after more experience and years of relationships. In the song, Rocketship by Shane Harper, it signifies how you feel and your atmosphere perceiving as lively and joyous, such as the happy stage in the relationship. They also could most possibly be physical sensations around your partner, “Do your knees go weak,” (14) which is another notion of what they call ‘butterflies in your stomach’ meaning nervous. There are a few literature devices in the song, “You’ve got me falling like a shooting star,” (8) which is a simile because it’s using like or as. When Shane uses this term ‘falling’ he processes it as falling in love. As you get comfortable with your partner, little arguments lead to more. This stage is where the problems start. In the song, For the First Time by The Script, it represents the choices you will make, one or the other. How hard you and your lover are trying and fighting for each other or if one of you will give up. Sometimes one half of the relationship is struggling but the other will help, “How we’re going to make it work when it hurts,” (29) it could eventually lead to everything going downhill sadly though. It proves who actually cares well enough to keep trying, “Trying to make it work, but, man these times are hard” (6-7) in a relationship you will have to fight for one
