I love how he captures different emtotions through editing and combining certain photos to create an extremely creative piece. My other two photos came from the Surrealistic Self Portraits pages, and my secod imge really inspired me because the artist took a picture of a persons face along with a mans fist and he edited the face in a way that it still outlines the shape of the fist. This really inspired me because the artist really combined the images really well and that's what I hope to do with my own. My third image really inspired me because it looks like the girl is loosing herself, and it really inspired my because it gave me a lot of new ideas for my metaphor project because my documentary project was about finding yourself and being lonely which I really want to try to coincide my projects together.

When you're alone, do you think of me? And my diamond ring's thrown out to see. And when you love, do you love for me? Like harmony, a never ending dream.

Oh well, oh well. I still hope for the best. Say goodbye and send me off with a kiss farewell. And I promise I'll be just as strong as I can be. Maybe you could get some sleep tonight.

So here's your song. It's twisting me. I'd give anything to make you scream. And I'll just smile, and make believe I don't feel a thing. That doesn't Work for me.

Oh well, oh well. Guess I'll see you in hell. There's a pretty little picture that's in my head. And I'm starting to dream, changing colours while I sleep. Maybe I'm just wasting time.

Sit still and listen to the soundtrack. I'll tell you how I took one Straight through the heart, and it's not easy to talk about. So we all Scream loud. And that was it. I had made it clean just across the street with my new Wings. So I'll just fly and hope that I remember the good times when it's done.

Oh well, oh well. I can't live with myself as I'm climbing in your window To get to your bed. And I'll be what you need, you can call me anything just as long as we're Still friends.

Sit still and listen to the soundtrack. I'll tell you how I took one Straight through the heart, and it's not easy to talk about. So we all sing.

When she smiles it's got nothing to do with me. I'm not the one who sings her to sleep. And I've been talking to God asking for just a little help with you but It's hopeless.

It's not the first time but this one really carved it in. Tell your new friends that they don't know you like I do. It's over. I wanna see you again. I wanna feel it again.

Ohh, it's not the first time, but this one really carved it in. Tell your new friends that no one knows you like I do. It's over. I wanna see you again. I wanna feel it again.

I'll keep you warm safe in my arms. 'Till heaven calls, keep holding on. -Oh Well, Oh Well by Mayday Parade

I chose these lyrics because this is one of my favorite songs. I listen to it almost every day. This song makes me think of his failing relationship, and in the beginning I think about love, and essentially asking if she thought of the love that died. He then realizes its the end and he reluctantly lets it die. He still hopes for a brighter future and "Maybe you can get some sleep" displays him thinkin about how he is causing her problems and stress and he tries to find a positive in teh breakup by saying that he hopes she can find some peace at night now. I feel like he's singing about how it wasn't the first time he's put everything into a relationship, but this time it really hit him hard. He knew that she was "the one" and he just let everything fall apart. By saying "keep you warm, safe in my arms, till Heaven calls, keep holding on..." he goes on to say that he wants to be able to feel and show her that love again. The song makes me think of the visual metaphor of someone keeping their head held high, even in the darkest of situations and even when you feel like you're at your lowest. Other people may interpret this song as someone trying to let soemone go but their heart is in a state of tugofwar. This metaphor will influence my work because I hope to portary a really bright person looking forward to the future, in a really dark day and when things are really dead and gloomy and depressing looking.
