it's actually
"Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot, or end up in jail or shot" |

| Les Misérables – I Dreamed A Dream Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
In the song “I Dreamed a Dream” by Claude-Michel Schönberg (the original was by him) means, not all dreams can be achieved and only those dreams should be let go. I think this because throughout the song the speaker is continually mentioning her dream love that left her. And waited for his return, which never came to be, her dreams where crushed and he was gone and forgotten. “And still I dream he'll come to me” proves that she was waiting for her love to return. “There are dreams that cannot be’’ proves that her dream was crushed. “Now life has killed the dream I dreamed” proves that she forgot about her dream love. Therefore, dreams are not always complete, but sometimes they just need to be forgotten.
The composer is Claude-Michel Schönberg and the speaker of this song is Fantine the character name of the singer in “Les miserable”. The figurative language used in the song is: oxymoron, simile and hyperbole. “No song unsung, No wine untasted” is an oxymoron because there is contradictory. This conveys a carefree atmosphere of youth. “With their voices soft as thunder,” is a simile and an oxymoron. This is comparing softness with thunder and contradictory because thunder isn’t soft. “He took my childhood in his stride” meaning he took her childhood without a second thought. All of the figurative text used shows how much her dream love never cared about her. |
