To be able to possibly make connections between the visuals and the lyrics we have decided to analyse the lyrics to 'Gangsta'. This song is the soudtrack for the film Suicide Squad.
This particular song is used to describe the relationship between two of the characters, Harley Quinn and The Joker.
I need a gangsta
To love me better
Than all the others do
To always forgive me
Ride or die with me
That's just what gangsters do
This particular song is used to describe the relationship between two of the characters, Harley Quinn and The Joker.
I need a gangsta
To love me better
Than all the others do
To always forgive me
Ride or die with me
That's just what gangsters do
I'm fucked up, I'm black and blue
I'm built for it, all the abuse
I got secrets, that nobody, nobody knows
I'm good on, that pussy shit
I don't want, what I can get
I want someone, with secrets
That nobody, nobody, nobody knows
I'm built for it, all the abuse
I got secrets, that nobody, nobody knows
I'm good on, that pussy shit
I don't want, what I can get
I want someone, with secrets
That nobody, nobody, nobody knows
I need a gangsta
To love me better
Than all the others do
To always forgive me
Ride or die with me
That's just what gangsters do
To love me better
Than all the others do
To always forgive me
Ride or die with me
That's just what gangsters do
My freakness is on the loose
And running, all over you
Please take me to places, that nobody, nobody knows
You got me hooked up on the feeling
You got me hanging from the ceiling
Got me up so high I'm barely breathing
So don't let me, don't let me, don’t let me, don't let me go
And running, all over you
Please take me to places, that nobody, nobody knows
You got me hooked up on the feeling
You got me hanging from the ceiling
Got me up so high I'm barely breathing
So don't let me, don't let me, don’t let me, don't let me go
I need a gangsta
To love me better
Than all the others do
To always forgive me
Ride or die with me
That's just what gangsters do
*End of song*
Lyric Analysis:
"I need a gangsta"- This line could be a metaphor that the artist wants a loyal relationship like a gangsta has with their gang.
"Ride or die with me" - This verb phrase implies that she wants someone who is committed to her throughout every part of their relationship.
"I'm built for it, all the abuse" - This line demonstrates that she has become immune to all of the abuse and become a tough female in the process.
"I don't want, what I can get" - She's selective and wants someone unique or special. Also, she has a certain person in mind.
"That's just what gangsters do" - She sees herself as a gangster and states that is natural behaviour for them to exhibit.
"Got me up so high I'm barely breathing" "You got me hooked up on the feeling" - This could be a metaphor for drug use. Love is often referred to as a drug and that she is addicted to the feeling that love has provided her with.
