   Not too sure how it stacks up in the catagory of literary devices, but Rush's 2112 is a great song to go into all that "deeper meaning" bs that my english teachers always seem to think is the most profound thing they have ever heard. 

Either that, or, probably very good as a stand alone poem, is Opeth's Blackwater Park.

Both these choices are pretty good at meeting the requirment on how the music and lyrics connect.

EDIT:
Oh, and just after posting this, I remembered what that little thing at the bottom of my posts says.  Rush's The Trees has got to be the best poem to go by.  Just make sure you get the meaning right.

	Now there's no more oak oppression, For they passed a noble law, And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, axe, and saw.

	Why don't you try "Musical Box" by Genesis? I think it is easy to understand and analyze.

	Go with something written by Fish, his lyrics are among the best in the music world.

	Pick a Magma song. Nip the problem at the bud.

	Short form: stick with Eleanor Rigby. Long form: Supper's Ready is a great choice. Or Close to the Edge.
	Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.

	I once read the lyrics to "Supper's Ready" for a poetry project. My English teacher loved it. There are a lot of great literary devices, and thought provoking content. The actual work is up to you.

	I'm thinking I'm going to do Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles, but if anyone has a better idea, let me know.

	I have an assingment due tomorrow in English class that goes a little something like this. 1. Choose a song that you wish to analyze. The song you choose will probably be influenced by the requirements below. 2. Copy the lyrics and bring them in on Monday. 3. Write one paragraph in which you explain what the song is about. You should include an explaination on how the music and the lyrics connect. 4. List 4 examples of literary devices used in the lyrics. Explain their effects on the song. Any help here would be appreciated, because I can't decide what I want to do.
