Analysis of Lyrics

Here is the lyrics to the choosen track.

I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind I'm building a sill to slow down the timeI'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mindI'm building a sill to slow down the time'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mindI'm building a sill to slow down the time.

I'm lost in the World, I'm down on my mindI'm new in the city, and I'm down for the nightDown for the nightSaid she's down for the night

Your my Devil, Your my AngelYour my Heaven, Your my HellYour my Now, Your my ForeverYour my Freedom, Your my JailYour my Lies, Your my TruthYour my War, Your my TruceYour my Questions, Your my ProofYour my Stress and your my MasseuseMama-say mama-say ma-ma-coo-sahLost in this Plastic life,Let's Break out of this fake ass PartyTurn this in to a Classic NightIf we die in each others arms we still get laid in our AfterlifeIf we die in each others arms we still get laid

I'm lost in the World, I'm down on my mindI'm new in the city, and I'm down for the nightDown for the nightSaid she's down for the night

Who will survive in AmericaWho will survive in AmericaWho will survive in America

I'm lost in the World, I'm down on my mindI'm new in the city, and I'm down for the nightDown for the nightSaid she's down for the night

Us living as we do upside down.And the new word to have is revolution.People don't even want to hear the preacher spill or spiel because God's whole card has been thoroughly piqued.

And America is now blood and tears instead of milk and honey.The youngsters who were programmed to continue fucking up woke up one night digging Paul Revere and Nat Turner as the good guys.America stripped for bed and we had not all yet closed our eyes.The signs of Truth were tattooed across our open ended vagina.We learned to our amazement untold tale of scandal.Two long centuries buried in the musty vault, hosed down daily with a gagging perfume.America was a bastard the illegitimate daughter of the mother country whose legs were then spread around the world and a rapist known as freedom, free doom.Democracy, liberty, and justice were revolutionary code names that preceded the bubbling bubbling bubbling bubbling bubbling in the mother country's crotch

What does Webster say about soul?All I want is a good home and a wifeAnd a children and some food to feed them every night.After all is said and done build a new route to China if they'll have you.

Who will survive in America?Who will survive in America?Who will survive in America?Who will survive in America?

Also is give us knowledge of how Kanye West is feeling and is thinking the lyrics give us hint to suggest he's missing somebody could it be a loved one? The lyrics relate to people who are in difficult situations the lyrics help the song to people who really love someone you can get an idea of this by the lyrics 'your the devil, your my angel' these lyrics help the song to gain different audiences.

The interesting part of the song however is nearer towards the end starts to mention the USA (United States of America) and its downfall over recent years questioning of the nation by the lyrics saying 'Who will Survive in America'. This goes to show that the song has a hidden meaning what is briefly expressed. However its a big issue over the recent years to the terror attacks and the increasing fall of the economy.
