Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve

Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah

No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,no,no,no,no,no(fading away)

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change it

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
Trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah

You know I can't change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mind
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
That you've ever been down
That you've ever been down

In the song Bittersweet symphony there is no set rhyme scheme besides the fact that the song does repeat certain lines like ``I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down`` or just using the same word at the end of a sentence for example, ``No change, I can't change`` and ``I can't change, I can't change`` both different sentences but same word at the end. You can consider these likes above to be refrains which happens a lot in the song. 


The song Bittersweet symphony is filled with poetic language of various kinds such as personification `` Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life`` giving the feature that life is like a musical. These is also symbolism in the song, the symbol being the bittersweet symphony. Basically explaining that life is bittersweet sometimes it`s up but most times your a slave to reality and struggling to get by. There is a great metaphor being ``I`m a million different people from one day to the next``Basically saying that this guy`s mood changes and one minute could be happy and dealing with like and the next down in the dumps.


``Your a slave to the money then you die`` is a great representation for this song. To me it sums up the whole song. It`s saying that in life your always struggling to stay on top of everything. Always trying to get further in life, always trying to earn money to advance in life and get the things you want. I really think that this song is meant for everyone in life. I like this song because It makes me think of if i don`t try in life i know i will be a slave to the money as it says and i know ill be the one like in the video not caring about anything walking down the street bumping into people instead of being happy.
