Lyric Analysis of Fiery Wave by Bree Tranter

Lyrics to bree tranter- fiery wave

“hes got these brown eyes that change colour in the sun.
but somedays I can’t even find which colour I’m looking at”
from my interpretation, this line, she is singing about a man who she can't understand, who is mysterious, as if he has a split personality. This builds tension and uncertainty for the listener.
For this reason, an idea that I had was to have a male featuring in the video, and to not show his complete face in any given shot, or to hide the facial features by the use of dim lighting. my aim would be to represent the man as mysterious, or without a real identity, as if he is almost a figure of the artist's imagination.
such as these images:








“deep down, wavey here, wavey like paper, he, stays the same, stays the same. Oh we just have different minds.”
This line is slightly more abstract and strange, however, I interpret this as the man being unstable and/or with a shallow personality. Slightly narcissistic and unsocial.
Also, that she can't relate with him or that he doesn’t express emotions.


“Shes got these blue eyes that go deeper than the sea
But some days he wont even try to swim down and save me.”
Again, showing the narcissistic personality of the man. Denotations of blue eyes and the sea. Singing in second person, as if not singing about her personal relationship, however , being a fly on the wall in someone else's. This may confuse the reader regarding to the lyrics alone, so in the music video I will make it clear that she is singing about herself by her being involved in the narrative (possibly by having some form of contact with the man in the video, such as eye contact or bodily contact)
Also, I plan to use the imagery of the ocean to create a denotation of what's happening. Such as the woman sinking in the ocean. I plan to film this with a water resistant GoPro camera.









“Deep down, fiery here, fiery like paper he, stays the same, stays the same. Oh we just have different minds”
denotations of the sea with “deep”.
Juxtaposition between the sea and fire. This connote and links with the lyrics “oh we just have different minds”
The use of the word "paper" may further  suggest that the man is vacant minded or shallow. 

Ah, ah. Ah, ah

I’m a wave I’m a flame, and I felt you like a crash and oh, oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh.


Oh oh etc
