Anonanimal

So, in actually applying grammar usage rules to the beautiful language motif through music and everyday life that I have been on, I was listening to the song called, “Anonanimal” by Andrew Bird. I knew that the lyrics really were beautiful but I also realized that there was a sentence that had alliteration to it. Alliteration defined by Grammar-monster.com is defined as - Alliteration is the repetition of the same initial letter in successive words; it is done for effect. In the case of this song it not only improves a flow and rhythm, but it makes me really think about how Andrew bird can play with language and create such meaning with such random words. The constant repetition of the ‘A’ in this line, which appears throughout the whole song is a constant rhythm of thought. I don’t know exactly what I think about the line, but I know that it’s beautiful and makes sense within the context of the song.

 “Anomalous appendages Anon-animal Anon-animal” 

 I see a sea anemone
The enemy
See a sea anemone
And that'll be the end of me.

While the vicious fish was caught unawares in the tenderest of tendrils
Underneath her tender gills

I will become this animal
Perfectly adapted to the music halls
I will become this animal
Anomalous appendages
A non-animal

Hold on just a second
Don't tell me this one you know
I know this one I know this song
I know this one I love this song
Hold on just a second
Don't tell me this one you know
i know this one I know this song
I know this one I love this song
I know this one

Underneath the stalactites
The troglobites lost their sight
Uh oh

The seemingly innocuous plecostomus
though posthumus
They talk to us
They talk too much

See a sea anemone
The enemy
See a sea anemone
That'll be the end of me
Vicious fish was caught unawares
In the tend'rest tendrils
Underneath her tender gills and

I will become this animal
Perfectly adapted to a music hall
I will become this animal

Anomalous appendages
A non-animal
