Lorde "Bravado"




Within this song we can see that she is struggling to find her voice in the first half of the song. She has always been with drawn and it is not just with her family or few close friends but with everyone. It hasn't been easy for her to put herself out there and say who she is and what she stands for. But she has always been told that she is one to be respected and looked up to. Then when the sttention does fall on her, it is like being burned. It is hard to take and she is unable to control how she feels when she is infront of a crowd.

But the second half of the song talks about how she will find her voice. Her time has come and she will no longer hold back, she will no longer allow others to speak for her. When she is in the light, she will find her boice and rise up above what she has been through and conqure her fears.

Like many who have struggled with the fear of being in front of others, mshe has come to realize the great sense of accomplishment that comes with being in front of a crowd and recieving the applause after a job well done. It is something almost euphoric and many will not feel this in their lives because of their of talking to others or being in front of an audience.

It is something different, something that she has never done beofre, but it is something that she wants to do. Something that is out of the norm for her and all she can do is prepare herself for what is to come and know that she will be on top when she comes out of it.

The rythm and beat of the song is very in tune withn the lyrics itself. It begins slow and kind of shy like the lyrics, but when it comes to her finding her voice, the song becomes up beat. It shows a transition from the beginning shy girl, to the girl who has found her voice. It is just as much a catlyst for the song as the lyrics are.
