At the beginning of the song the tone is very depressing. Phrases such as "Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality" and "Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me" show depression and low self worth. Other lyrics like "I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy" express remorse and self pity. The lyrics repeat the thought of death and our meaninglessness. The music has a very slow beat with the main background music consisting mainly of piano.
At about half way through the song the beat changes to be less sad and more exiting. Many meaningless but emotional phrases are added to the song such as "Bismillah!" and "Galileo". Many phrases are repeated by the main singer and the background singers. Then the beat changes again. The words become more accusing and seem to be said with more self worth. Then it ends like it started with the feeling of being unimportant.
I like how you used the feel of the words to drive a meaning. I feel like the ending meant more that his execution was carried out when I heard it. Good work!
