The song "Bostons" by Have Heart is an example of an allusion. The name itself is an allusion to the city of Boston. There's also another part of the song where Flynn says "Hyde Park" which is a reference to the neighborhood in the city of Boston. It applies to my theme and genre because its a hardcore punk song and it's about a childhood in Boston that has made him into the man he is now and how he has bottled up hatred for Boston.
The song "Smash It" by Down to Nothing is an example of ambiguity. It's a song about straightedge. It says "For the weak, not for the strong." That's the way a lot of people view straightedge because they think it's lame to not drink or not smoke but thats not actually what the band thinks because theyre straightedge. Its ambiguity because they're showing two different point of views with two different meanings at the same time.
The song "Start a Fire" by Verse is an example of an allegory because it is saying to do one thing but it's using that as symbolism for something else. They keep saying to start a fire throughout the song and they dont really mean to say to start a fire but to instead start a movement to be more aware of everything the government is doing. The movement would spread like a fire so that's the symbolism behind the statement.
