Analyze This: An in depth look at the lyrical content of a song to provide insight
Days like this I want to drive away
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade
You chewed me up and spit me out
Like I was poison in your mouth
You took my light, you drained me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me
[Chorus:]
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
I just wanna throw my phone away
Find out who is really there for me
You ripped me off your love was cheap
Was always tearing at the seams
I fell deep, you let me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me
[Chorus]
Now look at me I’m sparkling
A firework, a dancing flame
You won't ever put me out again
I’m glowin’ oh whoa
So you can keep the diamond ring
It don't mean nothing anyway
In fact you can keep everything yeah, yeah
Except for me
[Chorus]
This is the part of me
No
Away from me
No
This is the part of me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me...
No
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
J9's Analysis: I've always liked Katy Perry and last year when I saw her in concert, I got a whole new appreciation of her talent. Surprisingly, it just recently dawned on me how deep my love is for Katy. To some, they may not appreciate or understand her artistic expression or lyrical content but I do! When I first heard Part of Me, I couldn't help but hear the strength expressed in the song. And what great timing to highlight now, during Women's History Month. Katy is one of those artists that represents different facets of a woman which is visible in all her songs.
