"Let it Go"

The song I chose to analyze was "Let it Go" by Demi Lovato. In this song end rhyme is found in the lines "Not a footprint to be seen A kingdom of isolation And it looks like I’m the Queen." In those lines queen and seen rhyme. End rhyme helps add a meter and a rhyme scheme to this poem/ song. Internal rhyme is also found in "Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know." Internal rhyme helps add a catchy, melody to the song. This song also uses sibilance to add emphasizes to certain words and lines and also sibilance is used to add to the smoothness and flow of the song. Sibilance is found in the line: "Makes everything seem small." I also recognized the use of the letters d, t and g. These letters make this poem a cacophony is some areas which adds harshness and force to the song. I think cacophony is being used in this poem to help express the major drive and push to let things go.

I think the use of these many poetic/literary devices help contribute to the overall theme and message of this song. For example cacophony is found in this poem to help express the urgent and importance of letting things go and not letting things to you. I also think that the poetic devices such as sibilance, end rhyme and internal rhyme are just some of the many devices that help add to the melody and flow of this song. Also the balance between cacophony and euphony in this song helps add to purpose and tone of the song. I believe the purpose of this song is to remind people to never give up and to never let people or things get to you. Also to remind people that of things get to hard/ stressful its sometimes could to let to go.
