Song Analysis

Many of the songs in Steven Universe are heartwarming, but they do have a deeper meaning.  As I analyze the song Sworn to the Sword or also known as You do it for her/him, you may start to see what I mean. Now I picked this song for it's meaning and it is one of my favorites. The story line of that episode that also contributes to the song is very, as I said before, heart warming. The story line is basically Pearl having known Rose, Steven's mother and having a close relationship with her. Being her guard in the gem war and her having to give up her physical form to have Steven, it might have taken a large toll on Pearl. So as Steven brings Connie to practice sword fighting with Pearl, she turns Connie into a guard to Steven. The song represents how she is taught and how she learns. Then, to show what had happened in the war in bits and pieces, she shows Steven and Connie about what she has done to help Rose. As Pearl starts to make Connie a lot like her, Steven feels weird about the training. Connie realizes when Steven helps her that she has gone very far and should stop before she gets hurt. They stick together, Pearl doesn’t like the outcome at the end.The song is one that shows us even when you are protecting your friends that sometimes you need to think of yourself and how it will affect your friend. It may be hard, but it’s good as long as you do it together.
