The male artist, Aaron Lewis, has multiple lyrics within his song that are heavily seen as masculine stereotypes. Since there is no mention of a female or female artist in the song, there are no feminine stereotypes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Link to song lyrics: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azlyrics.com\/lyrics\/aaronlewis\/amitheonlyone.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.azlyrics.com\/lyrics\/aaronlewis\/amitheonlyone.html<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Masculine Stereotypes\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI&#8217;m the only one willin&#8217; to fight, For my love of the red and white, And the blue burnin&#8217; on the ground?\u201d<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this lyric, the artist straightforwardly says that he is willing to fight for his country. This is a common trait of men wanting to join the military to protect the country. Today, there definitely are plenty of women who join the military too, but it is more stereotypical of men.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWho still gives a shit and worries &#8217;bout his kids\u201d<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Males\/fathers are often seen to be the protector of the family. This lyric demonstrates the emotion he has of being worried about his children and wanting to keep them safe, conforming to that stereotype.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAm I the only one sittin&#8217; here, Still holdin&#8217; on, holdin&#8217; back my tears, For the ones who paid with the lives they gave?\u201d<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Looking again and the commitment of a man to fight for his country, this lyric displays the emotion that comes along with it after losing friends within the military and trying to hide \u201csoft\u201d emotions while holding back tears.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The deep message of this song gives us a different perspective than other songs I have analyzed in previous portfolios. Though there are masculine stereotypes within the song, it is because of the willingness to fight for the country, protect his family, and freedom of the country that makes up the masculine stereotypes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The song \u201cAm I The Only One\u201d follows along with the thoughts of the artist about what the world around us has turned into.
