Laskowski-Metaphor



I’m using the song Broken Home by 5 Seconds of Summer for inspiration of this photography unit. The verse of lyrics I’ve been inspired by follow:

5 SECONDS OF SUMMER- Broken Home All the battles, all the wars, all the times that you’ve fought She’s the scar, she’s the bruises, she’s the paint that you brought

I chose to interpret this song because like my family, this song is written about about a family affected by divorce. Choosing lyrics I relate to made this project more personal, and easier to interpret. These lyrics metaphorically portray how the daughter of this family is affected and broken by the choices of her parents. More generally, the metaphor can be explained that objects can be affected through the actions of others. Overall, this song can be interpreted in many different ways, especially if the one listening comes from a broken family, because everyone’s situation is different. Within my project I hope to portray the more general metaphor: objects can be affected because of the actions of others.
