Examples of Euphony (Euphonism) and Puns

Disturbed:
"Deify" Lyrics

All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me

You want to know why I feel so horrified?
I let my innocence die
You want to know why I can't be pacified?
You made me bury something
I won't be sleeping tonight

I only wanted a blessing made
Now I've been labeled a renegade
It seems so clear now what I must do
You're no immortal
I won't let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented myth (or man)

You want to know why it seems the passion has died?
We've all been living this lie
You want to know why my will has been fortified?
You've made me hunger again
Good luck sleeping tonight

I only wanted a blessing made
Now I've been labeled a renegade
It seems so clear now what I must do
You're no immortal
I won't let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented myth (or man)

All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me
I was too blinded to see
All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me

Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented myth (or man)

Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented myth (or man)
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me

--> This is an example of a euphonism because it describes the singers point of view on a person, specifically running the country and high up in politics. He feels that he has been betrayed by this man, and that he is no longer afraid to stand up and speak his miond; he feels ashamed that he was "too blinded to see" this situation earlier. He is promising that he will not allow them to deify this person, because that is what it seems that it will turn into.


Megadeth:
"Peace Sells" Lyrics

--> This is another axample of a euphonism because the singer "mocks" the stytem of our government, and how we operate; he feelsw that it is not good, and corrupt. He even questions the resolve of the presidency, and the ideal that it is still run by "we the people." He also says that he will take the best way, if presented, to replace the system we now have, but it better be right. Then he asks, "Peace seels; but who's buying?" He means that if we all talk of peace, then how much is the cost, and who will be willing to pay that price in order to secure it.
