“I am Trying to Break your Heart”
“I am Trying to Break Your Heart” adopts a vengeful tone for the speaker declares, “ I want…to break your heart like a horse/ or its leg.” This assertion confirms that the speaker is a narcissist whose target is to wound the addressee. Smashing the addressee’s heart will enchant the speaker in the same manner that taxidermy does. The speaker justifies the intention of shattering the addressee’s heart when he claims, “Weeks of being/bucked off, then all at once, you’re mine.” The speaker is upset for being disregarded by the addressee; hence, will take advantage of the state of affairs when apt to take vengeance.
“Bling Bling Blues”
“Bling Bling Blues” illustrates the ramifications of conspicuous consumption. The speaker’s admission, “now my diamond shoes hurting my feet”, infers that conspicuous consumption can be upsetting. The ‘diamond shoes’ may be glittering but they speaker is not at ease with them. Also, the speaker’s assertion: “my wallet won’t fit my 50s” means that spending money on ‘bling bling’ has furthered to the speaker’s financial discomfort The glitter of ‘bling bling” does not forestall the melancholy that ensues when one recognizes that the conspicuousness of the ‘bling bling’ is not unqualified.
