The Impact of Context in Media Text

The lyrics of 'Unfinished Sympathy'

I know that I've been mad in love before
And how it could be with you
Really hurt me baby, really hurt me baby
How can have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more

The curiousness of your potential kiss
Has got my mind and body aching
Really hurt me baby, really hurt me baby

This talks about someones heart break after they have been left or someone doesn't feel the same for them, and the how much she is "hurt" because of the fact that this has happened.

The lyrics of 'Titanium'

You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up

I'm bulletproof nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium, I am titanium, I am titanium, I am titanium

This talks about how you can overcome difficult situations if you find your inner strength and no matter what someone else does to you if you have your inner strength you will be fine because you won't "fall".

How are the contextual issues explored in these music videos?

Titanium:They explore government control and the impact of technology

Unfinished Sympathy: They are exploring the issues that the government should fix and what is going around in the world 

Who is represented to show these fears?

Titanium: They show to sides of fear the boys of being caught by the government and the teachers of being harmed-there is not much diversity in these characters-they also use the fear of attacks since the boy does not have much control of his powers and destroyed the school.

Unfinished Sympathy: they show this through the singer and the people who pass her and their hardships as what she is showing is what many people have a fear of. It is represented in the singer through the fear of heartbreak, this can be seen through her facial expressions while lip singing
