Rivera- Your Majesty
I'm tired of walking now
Dragging my heels round,
You're with him anyway,
And I was talking now,
It's been going round,
And i haven't got much to say
So don't loose yourself, maybe get some help,
I've got so long to save,
Don't you see me standing tall,
I was yours for long,
So, what're you doing here,
I see you everywhere
I am holding on,
Oh won't you show me,
What you're doing
Stuck out here for days,
By yourself,
So it's down to you,
What're you gonna do,
Won't you leave me,
Leave me alone,
Well i'm on my knees,
For your majesty,
And i'm shaken down to the bone
I see you standing tall,
Oh its just begun,
So, what're you doing here,
I see you everywhere,
And i'm holding on,
Won't you tell me
(instrumental)
I see you standing tall,
Oh its just begun,
So, what're you doing here,
I see you everywhere,
I'm holding on,
Won't you tell me what i'm doing

Conclusion
The lyric analysis was one of the hardest tasks within research and planning however it allowed us to have greater insight into the meaning behind the song and therefore gave us more inspiration of what we could put within our video. Analysing the lyrics allowed us to put more themes that seem important to the artist within our video so that we are able to create the most image-relevant piece to them as we possibly can
