Post 4 - lyric annotation

LYRIC ANNOTATION
Flying, climbing,
This is what I feel when I'm reverse skydiving,
Neptune, shining,
Frying all the elements as they're combining,
Rewind, timing,
This be the contract for sky I'll be signing,
No concern for wining or dining,
Wind so blue that it might be blinding,
All that I know is I won't be minding

You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me

Flying, climbing,
Giving me a smile, that's the inverse of crying
Upwards, mining
My dress seems like a ruby and the stars be aligning
Sky that's shining
Angles that I'm turning on continue refining
No concern for eyes that are prying
Spell my name with lighting and keep rewinding
All that I know is I won't be minding

You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me

Flying, climbing,
This is what I feel when I'm reverse skydiving,
Neptune, shining,
Frying all the elements as they're combining,
Rewind, timing,
This be the contract for sky I'll be signing,
No concern for wining or dining,
Wind so blue that it might be blinding,
All that I know is I won't be minding

You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me

 With words such as 'flying' 'Neptune,shining', 'wind so  blue that it might be blinding' it gives a sense of a 'out of this world' and abnormal feeling. As she sits on what appears to be a throne in the original music video we are led to believe she could be a goddess looking down on her followers. 
The main character allures and controls her audience through the use of sexual references with in the lyrics. she could be seen as a feminine and is an archetype. Although there is no literal evidence of the lyrics being sexually natured but each can be related. However, these notations are not inappropriate but could play a big role in our video.
'you don't have to jump to fly with me' could symbolize that she is higher than other people but that they don't necessarily need to be at her height to be part of her flock. These lyrics appear to be flirtatious. My group decided that the artist may be domineering over men in particular.'flying, climbing' both refer to being high which could emphasize this idea of power.
My group could show these ideas with locations such as on top of tall buildings representing height, red lipstick to show feminism and perhaps richness/danger and also editing of dreamy images being played in rewind to connote the lyric 'rewind,timing'.
'This be the contract for sky sky ill be signing' again is another reference to the artists high status as it means that she owns the sky. We feel each lyrical meaning can be shown through unique images and editing. 
flowing dance moves may highlight theme of flying which is sung throughout. Having the main face of the video dressed in dark skin tight clothing and lip syncing may have an impact on the audience as it is flirty and can create effect with the meaning of the lyrics as we read.
The repetition of lyrics particularly in the audience can be shown through repetition of shots. Each word can have a specific image in which may emphasize the meaning and also to make it relate to the audience.
