Ipod Songs Post

Title: Fading
Artist: Decyfer Down
"And every single day, a part of my soul is fading"
These lines along with the rest if the song depicts how the boys are falling into savagery. Each day that passes, they move farther and farther away from civilization. They are losing a part of their humanity as order falls and priorities get messed up. Civilization was all that kept them human, now the island has turned them into brutal savages without much human empathy left.

Title: Make a move
Artist: Icon for hire
"Test my reality, check if there's a weak spot."
These lines along with the rest of the song tell about how the boys are internally scared aren't sure what to do next. Because Jack made the first move to take over as a dictator figure, no one else wants to try anything different than what he wants. They just want someone to follow, and he filled that position. They also don't want to face the reality that they flat out murdered someone even though they knew who it was. The kids know its wrong and don't want to admit it.

Title: Diver
Artist: Nick touches the wall
"I’m unable to breathe even amongst the crowds of frozen people
How long has it been since I dived into this place?"
These kinds along with the rest of the song show how much the boys, Ralph especially, are struggling with staying themselves. The boys are finding it hard to figure out what to do, leaving them scared and vulnerable. They follow Jack because he gave them someone to follow, so they listen to his orders.

  1. Your third song is a perfect for Ralph in Ch. 11...struggling to breath and survive...forgetting how long they had been on the island.
