"You're a Buzzkill every time you come around"

Throughout the song, "Buzzkill" by Luke Bryan from the album Spring Break he using a poetic form to express how he is feeling. The song continues to take about one of his ex's that keeps appearing and trying to ruin his life. Constantly explaining all of the different aspects of how much pain he felt throughout the relationship. The song shows how much he still cares because things still bother him. He relates her to all of the things in life that would just seem to ruin your day. Just as in poetry he uses imagery, and different situations to connect one thing to another and there is a deeper analogy just as in poetry."Your'e a buzzkill, every time you come aroundThose beers might as well have been poured out" Clearly in his line Bryan is not talking literally. He is comparing one thing to another. Buzzkill is ruining the fun that he would be happening if he were drinking and enjoying himself. Instead things turn and he gets upset about his girl. "Nailed to the stool, watching you work" At this point in the song Luke is stuck sitting at the car and just watching his ex girlfriend flirt and he cannot move because of the pain the he is in. Another line that represents connections with poetry showing a deeper meaning would be "You're a cell phone splashin' in my coffee cup,". He is using things that would ruin someones day to express the pain that he is feeling. No one wants to drop their phone in their coffee and have it spill hot coffee all over themselves. In poetry there is usually a deeper meaning of each section just as in music. Specifically in this song with each thing that he says it brings a bigger connection to a bigger picture with more meaning. Both music and poetry are full of deeper meanings that take a lot of analyzing in order to see that. Poetry and music will continue to play a huge part in our everyday lives, and we will continue to work to see the differences and similarities between the two.
