Songs and poems with similar/ same meanings?

this is for a literature class


the idea is to find a poem (preferably classic, but it can be anything that is published.) and a song that have similar meanings.





heres what i was thinking about:





poems: lady Claire, the lady of shalott (Tennyson)





OR songs: i still miss some one -johnny cash


if everyone cared - nickleback


Vermillion pt2 - slipknot


with me - sum 41


Bother - stonesour


Schism - tool





would some one please tell me if you know of any songs/poems that would have like meanings with any of these poems/songs ???





or if you have any of you own ideas, please tell me!!

Songs and poems with similar/ same meanings?
you could do Mr. Brightside by The Killers along side a poem about cheating like this





Dorothy Parker - Ultimatum





I'm wearied of wearying love, my friend,


Of worry and strain and doubt;


Before we begin, let us view the end,


And maybe I'll do without.


There's never the pang that was worth the tear,


And toss in the night I won't-


So either you do or you don't, my dear,


Either you do or you don't!





The table is ready, so lay your cards


And if they should augur pain,


I'll tender you ever my kind regards


And run for the fastest train.


I haven't the will to be spent and sad;


My heart's to be gay and true-


Then either you don't or you do, my lad,


Either you don't or you do!

choose roller blades
