 PARTS OF SONGS

the songs.
• VERSE
A group of lines of words telling a story that the singer wants to convey as
well as directing listeners to the message of the song.
• REFRAIN
Words repeated at the end of each verse which can also become the title of
the song
• CHORUS
Lyrics of a song repeated several times with distinctive rhythm so that listeners easily
remember this part.
• CODA
A tail or an additional element to add a good ending to the song. Not all songs have coda
in their lyrics.
• INTRO

comes in
• BRIDGE

 REFRAINS AND CHORUS

• Refrains and choruses have lines that are repeated.

• Refrains and choruses may contain the title.
• Refrains are shorter than choruses.
• Refrains often composed of 2 lines, while the chorus can be made up of
several lines.

• PERSONIFICATION : when something that is not human is given human-like
qualities.
Example: The stars in the night sky winked at me.
• HYPERBOLE : Exaggerating, often in a humorous way, to make a particular point.

THANKS
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail

And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale

I wanna hide the truth

I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright

I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
