FAR AWAY

Nickelbak

This time, this place
Misused, mistakes
Too long, too late
Who was I to make you wait?
(Alliteration)

Just one chance, just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
Cause you know
You know, you know

That I love you, I've loved you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go

Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
Cause with you I'd withstand

All of it to hold your hand
Id give it all, Id give for us
Give anything but I wont give up
Cause you know
You know, you know

That I love you, I've loved you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go

Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore
So far away, been far away for far too long
So far away, been far away for far too long
But you know
You know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
I love you, I have loved you all along

And I forgive you for being away for far too long
So keep breathing cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it, hold on to me, never let me go
Keep breathing cause I'm not leaving you anymore

Believe it, hold on to me, never let me go
Hold on to me, never let me go
Hold on to me, never let me go



ALLITERATION-it is a repetition of initial consonant sound.

Remember the first time we met
You was at the mall with your friend

But then you came closer
Hopin' you would give me a chance

Shes like a song played again and again

SIMILE-comparison of two things using like or as





THRILLER
Michael Jackson

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed
(Personification)

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller a' night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl
But all the while you hear a creature creepin' up behind
You're out of time

Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes girl
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside of killer, thriller tonight

Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time
(They're open wide)
This is the end of your life

They're out to get you, there's demons close to the inn on every side
They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen

I'll make you see that this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller
Thriller here tonight

~Cause this is thriller, thriller a night
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller

I'm gonna be here tonight





PERSONIFICATION- a type of figurative language in which a nonhuman subject is given human
characteristics



"FIREFLIES"
Owl city

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
(Hyperbole)

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave tear drops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(Thread, thread...)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
(Ha-ha)

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(Said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
(Jar, jar, jar...)


HYPERBOLE- is louder exaggeration





TICK TOCK
Kasha

Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy
(Hey, what up girl?)
Grab my glasses, I'm out the door, I'm gonna hit
this city
(Let's go)
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of
Jack
'Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't coming
back

I'm talking pedicure on our toes, toes
Trying on all our clothes, clothes
Boys blowing up our phones, phones
Drop-topping, playing our favorite CDs
Pulling up to the parties
Trying to get a little bit tipsy

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'mma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
(Onomatopoeia)

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'mma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock, on the clock
But the party don't stop, no oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh

Ain't got a care in world, but got plenty of beer
Ain't got no money in my pocket, but I'm
already here
And now, the dudes are lining up cause they
hear we got swagger
But we kick 'em to the curb unless they look like
Mick Jagger

I'm talking about everybody getting drunk,
drunk
Boys tryin' to touch my junk, junk
Gonna smack him if he getting too drunk, drunk

Now, now, we go until they kick us out, out
Or the police shut us down, down
Police shut us down, down
Po-Poliece shut us dowwnn

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'mma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no oh oh oh oh

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'mma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick Tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no oh oh oh oh

You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me

With my hands up
You got me now
You got that sound
Yeah, you got me

DJ, you build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me

With my hands up

NATURALLY
Selena gomez

How you choose to express yourself
I am cool and youre not
It comes naturally
It comes naturally

You follow what you feel inside
It's intuitive, you don't have to try
It comes naturally
It comes naturally

And it takes my breath away

You are the thunder and I am the lightning
And I love the way you know
Who you are and to me it's exciting
When you know it's meant to be
(Metaphor)

Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you're with me, baby
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
Bay-bay-baby

You have a way of moving me
A force of nature, your energy
It comes naturally
It comes nut me cool

And it takes my breath away
What you do, so naturally

You are the thunder and I am the lightning
And I love the way you
Know who you are and to me it's exciting
When you know it's meant to be

Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you're with me, baby
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
Bay-bay-baby

When we collide sparks fly
When you look in my eyes
It takes my breath,away

You are the thunder and I am the lightning
And I love the way you
Know who you are and to me it's exciting
When you know it's meant to be




METAPHOR- direct comparison of two different things



YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE
Stevie wonder


You are the sunshine of my Life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart

I feel like this is the beginning
Though I've loved you for a million years
And if I thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always stay around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart

You must have known that I was lonely
Because you came to my rescue
And I know that this must be Heaven
How could so much love be inside of you?

You are the sunshine of my life, yeah
That's why I'll always stay around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my soul

You are the sunshine of my life, baby
That's why I'll always stay around
Can't stop living
You are the apple of my eye
