Allusion Songs and Discussion

I got a pocketful of sunshine

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh, oh whoa

Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me.
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.
No, oh whoa

Take me away (take me away)
A secret place (a secret place)
A sweet escape (a sweet escape)
Take me away (take me away)

Take me away (take me away)
To better days (to better days)
Take me away (take me away)
A hiding place (a hiding place)

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh, oh whoa

Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me.
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.
No, oh whoa

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh, oh whoa

Wish that you could, but you ain't gonna own me.
Do anything you can to control me.
Oh, oh no

We believe that this song is an allusion to the story of Matilda. This is because, in the story of Matilda, she lives under the forceful control of her parents and her principal. She is forced into a life that she does not wish for. Even though she faces many problems, she does not break down. She turns away from the world of her parents and school. She was always rebellious to her parents and her principal. Before she is adopted, she takes herself away from the world of her parents and principal to live as a child she always wanted to be with her friends living adventurously. In the end, Matilda gets adopted by her teacher that she liked.

Oh Grey Warden
Oh, Grey Warden,
What have you done?
The oath you have taken
Is all but broken.

All is undone.
Demons have come
To destroy this peace
We have had for so long.

Ally or Foe?
Maker only knows.
Ally or Foe?
The Maker only knows.

The stronghold lives on,
And the army's reborn,
Compelled to forge on.
What will we become?

Can you be forgiven
When the cold grave has come?

Or will you have won,
Or will battle rage on?

Oh, Grey Warden,
What have you done?
The oath you have taken
Is all but broken.

All is undone.
Ash in the sun,
Cast into darkness
The light we had won.

We believe that this song is an allusion to the story of Revelation where the Battle of Armageddon is soon to take place. The Warden is Lucifer, who betrayed the oath of being God's angel and turning against him to darkness as the devil, and demons, being those within the darkness, come and destroy the peace of Earth. The battle that wages are about good versus evil and God is the "Maker" who knows who's ally and who's foe. In the end, good prevails and those of evil are banished to the darkness they live in.
