Repetition of Sounds Analysis One: Cranberries- Zombie

"Zombie"
Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.

In your head,
in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.

In your head, in your head, they are crying...
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey.
What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying... I

n your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey.
What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...


The song I chose for to analyze for repetition is the song "Zombie" by the Cranberries. There is examples of both alliteration and assonance in this song. (alliteration: pink, Assonance:Light blue) This song relates to my theme of society in alternative music because this song is about a society in turmoil because of war. In the song it says "with there bombs and their guns...they are fighting." this is an example of assonance and it shows that there is fighting in their society and their nation, but when it says "We must be mistake" this shows that the singer is against their society. They oppose society doing such things to innocent people.
