The British rock band Coldplay, in its chart-topping single, "Paradise", presents the universal theme that it is possible to escape the difficulties of reality through dream surrogates along with the reasoning that dreams they are a "heaven" and a heaven is simply a step away. The song follows the average, typical, ordinary girl through her so-called "princess years" (the fact that every girl has the superficial knowledge of having a fairytale life) to her "best years" (where reality hits her like a bowling alley). ball, that not everything is possible). Coldplay addresses this theme through various poetic devices, but the most evident in their lyrics are: anomalous antitheses, exaggerated hyperbole, perplexed personifications, rhythmic repetitions, raucous rhymes and imaginative images. Coldplay uses an abnormal antithesis to manipulate the sense of something that is the exact opposite of something else. Coldplay wrote: "The wheel breaks the butterfly", comparing the frugal wings of a butterfly to the coarser ridges of a wheel. The antithesis presents the image that a wheel could instantly knock down a butterfly, metaphorically revealing that the ordinary girl could be knocked down just as easily as the butterfly with the obstacles presented to her in life. They then continue to use exaggerated hyperbole to exaggerate the context of the lyrics to show a harder struggle in the girl's life than it really is. Coldplay describes the girl facing humiliating obstacles in her life by having to face reality, "And [having] bullets [be] caught [ugh] in her teeth" (16). Exaggerating the effect of how solid his situation would have been in having to resort to a bullet in his teeth. Then they continue to portray his tear as a water... in the center of a sheet of paper... finally, Coldplay creates the entire atmosphere through their use of imagery. From the beginning, Coldplay depicts the girl's harsh lifestyle by illustrating that her childhood dreams were not coming true ("But it flew out of her reach" (3)) and that she never wanted to face her fears, which in this case are reality. (“I know the sun must go down” (38)). Through each verse, Coldplay tells listeners about another obstacle the girl faces if she senses herself opening her eyes, such as: "bullets" (16), "wheels" (20), and "stormy skies" (36). ; so he should sleep and be at peace. Coldplay in "Paradise", in fact, use many poetic devices to make it clear that it is not always necessary to immediately counteract one's fears, but it is possible to escape through the journey of one's imagination. (dreams) and live your own magical, even festive paradises.
