Resilience

The overall theme of Marchin On is similar to the reassuring tone. It is a theme of resilience. The author conveys this theme by his strong word choice. The poetic devices that are used help create the picture of the damaged world along with the people who are fighting to keep going. The authors repetition if the words "Right, right, right, right left right, Right, right, right, left, right, right, right" creates emphasis on his determination to keep moving through tough times. The metaphor " For those days we felt like a mistake," shows how tormented the author and his partner are with the struggles they are facing. The repetition of the title of the song, Marchin On, shows the audience that he will continue to keep going no matter what. The theme of the song is to continue to move ahead, which is what marching on is. It is the desire to keep moving. The author has continually stressed this theme throughout the song.
