Aesop Rock: Float analysis

Good afternoon,
   The song I chose to analyze for homework was Float by Aesop Rock. Originally I was going to choose a song I knew well, but then I saw the list Dr. D had come up with, so I choose off of there. Why I chose Float, I do not know, it just stuck out to me. The first thing I did when I picked out which song I was going to do was go to YouTube and listen to it. Let me give you all a heads up and say that it is not the kind of rap music you would imagine it to be. It almost reminded me of the dude, Danny, that came and said a few poems to us from poetry slam; it sounded much like that. Anyways, back to the lyrics...
   This song consisted of 9 stanza's, and the last one being one line long. The first stanza consists of a rhyming pattern between 'shoestring' and 'mood swing', and also has a repetitive -ective sound on two words. Lastly in stanza 1, "To slit throat" and "four letters in hope" don't rhyme but the (oo) sound is there, making it assonance. Stanza 2 is all about the sounds you make as you say the words. For example, portrait, tortoise, tortured, orbiting, and orchard all have the (or) sound, and when speaking those words, your mouth makes the same shape each time. The last line of stanza 2 has a consonance with "charred child", the (ch) sound in each. When the second line in stanza 2 reads "Inside a tortoise shell, tortured", the singer is referring to the jail sell and giving it a animal characteristic. Also, "orbiting hell's orchard is a metaphor also.  Something that stood out to me in stanza 3 was all the double letters that appeared. Canteen, caffeine, villain, hobble, hollow, nozzle, see, and application all have double letters in them, and the funny thing is none of them rhyme. Also in this stanza there is a tad bit of rhyming when it says, "We see intent to re-invent". Stanza 4 was quite odd to me when I first read it because I had to read it multiple times after that to see if there even was any poetic elements. The first line when it reads, "honor modern", my mouth made the same (o) shape for both words. The second line contains imagery, specifically a metaphor, because Bilbo Baggins' stilts do not tip over a Petri dish. The last line in stanza 4 really made me think because I imagine two harps, one being one color and one being another color, but both still playing the same song in harmony. Stanza 5 has many spots where it rhymes, and some are on the same line. Stanza 6 has two rhyme schemes, one is "Atlantis" and "chant is", while another is "sulk" and "bulk". Also in the last line, "cult pulp in bulk", that alone is a tongue twister and assonance with the (ul) sound, just having a different beginning and ending letter. Stanza 7 also contains rhymes, but stanza 7 also gets a bit personal meaning it goes back in time to memories with the mom and sweet wine of father time. In stanza 7 it says, "My fetus breeds as a combine of father time" meaning over the time (years?) her fetus has breaded babies. Stanza 8 is the last "full" stanza and it ends with a repetitional ending of -ation. In this stanza it says "I will be hung in the village square in 5 minutes", I guess that means death for him. The one line in stanza 9 supports this in a way because once you are literally hung, you are just floating there while everyone around you is "drowning" in there tears.

Hope everyone had a joyous spring break,
