When deconstructing lyrics it is important to look for deeper underlying meaning, as this would be particularly helpful if we were to chose to produce a narrative based music video. I will also be exploring the concept of synaesthesia.
Synaesthesia:
A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color. The description of one kind of sense impression by using words that normally describe another. The term synaesthesia can refer to the utilization of the five senses to produce or create an associated mental image, or sense of impression of another kind stemmed from a sense. This occurs from being exposed to a stimulus for example if a piece of media includes heavy breathing and a dark and dismal mise-en-scene, one may associate the heavy breathing (hearing) with fear and the darkness (sight) accentuating this sensation. Synaesthesia has the ability to challenge the classic views of perception.
Overall Meaning:
The song captures the mesmerising and euphoric power that love possesses and its ability to wake you up in the morning, particularly when the troubles of everyday life might make it difficult to do so. It elucidates that love gives you an entirely new purpose, leaving you devoted, similar to the devotion one might feel about a religion. The songs meaningful lyrics are portrayed within a sanguine melody. In my opinion, the clever juxtaposition between the 'difficulties of life' and the constant upbeat and optimistic sound, was a purposeful attempt to infer to the listener the capability and aptitude of love to conquer and mask negativity; providing one with a 'rose tinted glass' effect.
