The Room Where It Happens
This song is sung from an interesting perspective because Burr was not in the room and only knows what happened based on what he is told.

I know my sister like I know my own mind You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind I love my sister more than anything in this life I will choose her happiness over mine every time Put what we had aside I’m standing at her side You could never be satisfied God, I hope you’re satisfied
This verse sung by angelica is a snippet of a deleted song called congratulations []https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQh-7-PNgoU

Time
The repetition of the word time is significant through out the whole show, Hamilton does things like there is no time left in the world while everyone else waits to the point where there really is no more time.

Even in death the connection formed by Angelica and Hamilton can not be broken

Hamilton
The amount of times that burr says Hamilton in this song goes to show his envy towards him
-
My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher Preacher, preacher, preacher But there are things that the homilies and hymns won’t teach ya Teach ya, teach ya, teach ya My mother was a genius (genius) My father commanded respect (respect, respect) When they died they left no instructions Just a legacy to protect
I chose not to focus on burr talking about his family because I think that takes away from the importance of the song and the play as a whole

Caribbean
The main focus I had in this song was to highlight important people and places. The Caribbean is one if those important places because this is where Hamilton grew up.
-
mainland
I chose to tag this because the whole point of this song is to give background on Hamiltons life and the reference to mainland is Burr talking about the colonies as Hamilton was from a British island
