The lyrics shown below are for the song I have chosen to create a music video for titled 'Take a Walk'. The song runs for a total of 4 minutes and 24 seconds. It is an upbeat song although this seems to juxtapose with the lyrics.
Below I have analysed the lyrics and annotated my thoughts on what these lyrics mean. From the lyrics, I gather that same parts of the song are about happiness, other parts about sadness. It starts off talking about "all these kinds of places" which gives the idea about travelling and moving around.
The line "make it seem like it's been ages" shows that not a lot of time has actually passed but the amount of places seen makes it seem as though it has been a long time. The lyrics then go on to say how the singer "was outside that station, selling light and white carnations" which shows he was trying to get by, by selling flowers to the public. He then says "you were still alone, my wife and I" which shows that even though they are in a relationship they feel parted. He goes on to say how he sees his family rarely and because of all the above stress he goes and takes a walk.
The singer then talks about losing money although reminds himself that "times could be much worse". He is trying to stay positive. He complains about his "money lacking" and his wife will "never flaunt around an empty purse". Not only is he poor, he feels bad that his wife too has no money. We then find out he is a father as he says "I watch my little children" and he doesn't want them to "never feel my strife".
He goes on to say that he has made bad investments and is now losing more money. He talks in past tense about how he "had a lifestyle of fun". He wants to go home and "make love like we're young" which shows that he is now getting old. He ends up "down on both bad knees" which shows he is pleading although he is "too much a coward to admit when I'm in need".
To help all of the problems above, he takes a walk.
