tl;dr I cannot write my essay (semniotic analysis of song lyrics) and I am losing mental stability over it. HELP. PLEASE.

I'm doing a semniotic analysis of Empire Ants - Gorillaz. Specifically the lyrical content. This is a plea for someone to shed some light on how to approach this.

I can interpret what the lyrical content is saying but I am actually at my wits-fucking-end on how to analyse this and make it into a sensible, cohesively structured essay that discusses metaphorical meanings and deconstructs signifers and the signified.

WHAT THE ACTUAL MOTHER-FUCK I AM LOSING IT. I DON'T GET WHY THIS IS SO GOD DAMNED HARD. FUCK!!!

semniotic? did you mean semiotic? you did spell it as semniotic twice so I assume it can't be a mistake...
>>
Wow... I've said and written 'semniotic' since first being put onto this assignment... gross misunderstanding on my part... I never even once noticed google correcting me. You've already shaken the foundations of this for me. Thank you anon.

You ignorant pleb, thou shall study, semniotic bastard. Have you ever read a book in your entire life, fucker?

What does it even mean to peruse at a semiotic understanding of this lyrics? Seems like it's a vast task... I mean, doesn't semiotic englobe the whole of the human languages, its components, phonetic or visual?

Namely, a sign is something, A, which brings something, B, its interpretant sign determined or created by it, into the same sort of correspondence with something, C, its object, as that in which itself stands to C.

And of a gorillaz song to top it off.

englobe is a word which comes from french which is to put together in the shape of a globe. I think it fits nicely with a worldly thing such as languages, since they are of the world. Metaphors and shit.

You need to drop the terms employed by Saussure. There isn't any more to that approach. signifier/signified, symbol/icon, denotation/connotation et al.

I've googled the lyrics. It seems the song yields very well to an analysis like this.
