Snap Out Of It- Arctic Monkeys



"Snap Out Of It" by the Arctic Monkeys relates to Linda's relationship to Willy. She desperately wants him to snap out of his delusions but never takes direct action to make a change. Since she is not actively making a change, she is simply "waiting ever so patiently" for him to stop hallucinating on his own. The idea that "forever isn't for everyone" can be applied to the death of a salesman as a profession. They had their peak, and currently are on a downward spiral towards irrelevance. Willy settling for what he has can be reflected by the lyrics: "It sounds like settling down/ or giving up".
