Sonnet 10, Adam's Song, Jumper

Punk music, adult contemporary, and metaphysical poetry; it looks like these are all from different corners of the universe. Yet, “Sonnet 10” by John Donne, “Adam’s Song” by Blink 182, and “Jumper” by Third Eye Blind has a much closer relationship. These poems all agree that death can be an opportunity to a better life.

John Donne (1573-1631) was one of the most renown, English poets of the Metaphysical period. An extremely religious man, Donne’s poems express his yearning for God and his obsession with salvation and death. These poems became known as the “Holy Sonnets.” For instance, Sonnet 10 emphasizes Donne’s belief in the immorality of the soul. Throughout the entire Sonnet, Donne speaks directly to death. Donne’s personification of death brings the ever so powerful and fearful being to a level equal of the common man. In the opening lines, Donne says “Death, be not proud, though some have called thee/Mighty and dreadful, for thou are not so;” Moreover, Donne believes that he cannot be killed; his body may be taken away but his soul will live on. “[P]oor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.”

In the recent past, Blink-182 won a Teen Choice Award, a Blockbuster Music Award, and a MTV Awar

The song also talks about a friend who is feeling somewhat responsible for what’s happening. The friend says, “if you don’t want to see me again/I would understand.” The friend knows he have done wrong but doesn’t what to see his friend die over it.

The choice was mine, I didn’t think enough

The character has no problems facing death. He knows that “Everyone’s got to face down the demons” in life. If anyone has a chance to get out of a rut, everyone would do it. Unfortunately, some ruts are deeper than others and some people need a fresh start.
