entry #3 rod wave The Great Gatsby



Intro: Geo Vocals]

(Pipe that shit up, TnT)

I tell myself, "It'll be alright"

Now it's 3 A.M. and I still got no reply

But I spend my nights alone

(Trill got that juice, nigga)

By myself, just another lonely day

Do I need help, because this ache won't go away?

These shadows on my wall, my only curtain call

The crowd goes silent now

Waiting for you


[Verse 1]

Where you at right now? Let me pull up and let's talk about it

I finally got some time alone and I thought about it

I swear to God your love is war, it's so much I can take

I been thuggin' for so long, bae, give me a break

Late nights, I reminisce about you, it's hard to forget about you

I swear I can't live with you, but I can't live without you

Jump off a plane on an island and I'm here without you

Ain't left my hotel in three days, I feel sick without you, sick without you

My stomach do this turning, I feel sick without you

My closest friend my worst enemy

I'm not okay when we apart, but I pretend to be, I


[Chorus]

I threw the party of the century

And people came over, no one left sober

And it was all for you

It was all for you

I been under this rock for so long, don't let the world in

Close the door, don't let the world in

Let's go and hide in again

Rekindle our flame and light my fire again

Oh, come light my fire again

[Outro]

I threw the party of the century

And people came over, no one left sober

And it was all for you

It was all for you

I threw the party of the century

And people came over, no one left sober

And it was all for you

It was all for you

Who is the speaker?  Rod wave(Jay Gatsby) 

What is the purpose? He still loves the woman he fell in love with and he knows he can't be with her

Who is the audience? the woman he loves (Daisy Buchanan)

What is the context?  distant love for a woman whom he mentally can’t be with

What is the exigence? He only wanted to throw the party to see her again. 

What message(s) is it sending? even tho they can't be together at all, he still loves her no matter what the situation is.

I believe the tone of this song is earnest and distressing because this song was based on the novel The Great Gatsby published by Fitzgerald. As I see in this song Rod wave was Jay Gatsby in this song talking about his love for Daisy Buchanan the woman he loved for so long but couldn't be with her.

  1. Hey Kyden, this is definitely my favorite blog thus far! I LOVE Rod Wave, like LOVEEE him. I literally sang that entire song as I read through it. Unfortunately, I think my laptops glitching or something because for some reason, I can't only see parts of your analysis of the song, not the whole thing. Still, 10/10 song choice, and from what I could read, pretty solid analysis too. -Taliah M
