Santogold - Lyrics

Hey all :) Jess here just posting after our Media lesson today. It was very productive and we brainstormed a lot. We decided on our song which Hannah has already told you about!! I'm here to show you the lyrics and I've highlighted in bold some parts which I feel could be related to within the video, by using the reletionship between 'lyrics and visuals'.


What I'm searching for
to tell it straight, I'm tryin to build a wall - I feel this could be metaphorical
Walking by myself
down avenues that reek of time to kill
If you see me keep going
be a pass by waver
Build me up, bring me down
just leave me out you name dropper
Stop tryin to catch my eye - We thought of using make-up for effect - this could be shown here
I see you good you forced faker
Just make it easy
You're my enemy you fast talker

Chorus: I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe

What am I here for
I left my home to disappear is all
I'm here for myself - Point of view shot?
Not to know you
I don't need no one else
Fit in so good the hope is that you cannot see me later
You don't know me I am an introvert an excavator
I'm duckin' out for nowa face in dodgy elevators
Creep up and suddenly
I found myself
an innovator

Chorus

Change, change, change,
I want to get up out of my skin - We thought of using layering techniques
Tell you what
If I can shake it
I'm 'a make this something worth dreaming of - Effects created on Final Cut Express

Hopefully some of this has made some sense! We will write all of this down with better annotations and also apply it to a storyboard then scan them in for all to see :)
