100 Years

I analyzed the song 100 Years by Five for Fighting. The speaker of the song is someone who is looking back on their life. The speaker is remembering how he felt at the time and how what he was wishing for couldn't get better because he had 100 years to live. The occasion of the song is a life at its best at the age of the speaker. The purpose of the song is to show how fast life can pass you by. I also think the purpose is to show that however important you think something is at the time, most likely won't be that important in the long run. The subject is life of a boy who is 15 and is living life without a care. The tone is mellow and almost wise. Like the author is the speaker at an older age who is wise about his life now.

In the song there are multiple anaphoras of "for a moment". There also are assonances in "15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose". I had trouble finding other techniques used.
