This is the product of a summative challenge project in grade 9 English Language & Literature at Chadwick International. The song was inspired by the play, Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare. The lyrics of the song express the two lovers’ earnest complaint towards strident societal expectations and the failure in achieving their dreams due to the boundaries set by society. Verse 1 takes Romeo’s stance in which he laments about Mercutio’s scrutiny in Romeo’s thoughts on love, while verse 2 takes Juliet’s stance in which she portrays her grip for her parents’ unjust decision to marry Juliet to Paris. The lyrics also reflect fantastical elements inside the play to occurring problems in the current world, specifically around the topic of ‘societal expectations/meets.’ The depth of the song was also enhanced by considering textual evidence in the play when writing the lyrics, to develop a greater range of emotion in the song. Even though the lyrics were written regarding textual evidence of the play, our interpretation and analysis may not be in consensus with the original intentions of Romeo and Juliet.
