Life of Pi Analysis
the first song I have analyzed is Called "God Forbid" By P.O.D. The lyrics are below.
-----------------------------------------------------------
We have cause to be uneasy
The evil-utionary process has begun in a world that hates you
These secrets revealed belong to us
And when worst comes to worst
My peoples come first
Too many things going wrong around us
Too much to be done and so little time
We're so used to bowing down that we forget how to stand up
And we settle for last in line
But not this time!
God forbid
That I should lose, lose my mind
God forbid
Insanity is just a thought away
God forbid that I should lose my mind
God forbid
Balancing the good that's left in me
----------------------------------------------------------------
I, Captain Justice, think that the relevance of this song to "Life of Pi" is pretty self explanatory. On the lifeboat, Piscine had every chance in the world to go insane. Piscine's insanity was literally "Just a thought away". "Too many things going wrong around us" With all the terrible things happening around Pi, whether it's in the first story with the animals, or the second story with the people, I, Captain Justice, find it surprising that he didn't actually go insane (except in the second story. That was pretty messed up). Or, at least, didn't go as insane as we thought he might.
The second song that I, Captain Justice, have chosen is called "Say Hello" and it is also by P.O.D. the lyrics go as follows
--------------------------------------------------------------
Walked in the place, and everybody looked down at we
Disgust on their face, but we don't mind cause we're too busy smiling
Never get in my face, that's not the way to understanding
And ignorance is blind, so this time, this time we gonna let it ride
I know, that I know, that I know, that this is,
I know, that I know, that I know, that this is real
I hate to disappoint you, but this is how I feel.
And let me introduce to you
