"Nail" by Ceremony
Getting closer to the breaking point. With blatant words, my voice is shot. While my skull takes another hit, I try to cover my broken nose, body's weak, lacks courage and pride. Each blow is more brutal than the last. Seeing my mistakes slowly seep into the earth. Bearing scars that open now and then, each tells a different story. I could really give a fuck if I ever win or lose. Your wounds become a part of you. They condone the real truth.
This song clearly demonstrates the use of imagery. "While my skull takes another hit, i try to cover my broken nose" gives you a mental image of a man being in a fight and struggling to defend himself. "Seeing my mistakes slowly seep into the earth" is talking about his blood getting sponged up by the ground and thats also a strong mental image. "Bearing scars that open now and then" is also a strong mental image of a man with scars from the fights he's been in.
"I Want to Put This to an End" by Ceremony
My heart beats in slow songs pumping moments through my veins waking up in empty beds walk through months of bad mistakes give me back the life I had I really had nothing, nothings better than a city full of lies that push through me I'm a burning building you're a loveless friend now I watch the clock now I walk on knives I got problems I'm a fucked up kid I find problems I'm alone again
This song also demonstrates good usage of imagery. "My heart beats in slow songs pumping movements through my veins" gives a good image of a heart beating and makes me imagine a persons veins in their arm. "Waking up in empty beds" also makes me picture someone waking up by themselves every morning. "I'm a burning building" makes me think of a tall building on fire.
