The lyric, "Temptation Waits" by Garbage is sang by a female singer. This song is about a woman
who is struggling with her unhealthy relationship. The woman is dangerously in love with the guy
who does not yet seem to realize how evil she is. She expresses herself as evil creatures. For
example, she refers herself as "a demon" (II.1) and "a vampire" (I.4) which illustrates her evil
nature. Furthermore, she demonstrates her addicted love as she says "You come on like a drug"
(I.6). The drug in the line symbolizes addiction which illustrates that the speaker has an obsessive
personality. It reminds me of my dad; he tries to stop smoking but fails every time, because he is
addicted like the woman in the lyric. There is a refrain in each stanza. Also, there are figurative
languages such as metaphors and simile. For example, lines like "I am a wolf... I am a bonfire...
[and] I am a vampire" (I.2-4) are metaphor and lines like" I'm like an addict... [and] you come no
like a drug (I.6-8) are simile. Moreover, the title symbolizes her emotional status; she is addicted
of someone. The song, "Temptation Waits" expresses the speaker's emotion and her desire.
I need some feedbacks... Thank you
