Taylor Swift uses simile in her song Mean when she sing "You, with your words like knifes and swords that you used against me" to explain that someone's words are painful and would hurt just like a weapon. She also sings the lyrics "You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard" to talk about how hearing the person's words make her want to flinch.
Shawn Mendes uses hyperbole in his song Stitches when he sings "You watch me bleed until I can't breathe I'm shaking falling onto my knees and now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches" Shawn is exaggerating in a major way. His love interest has hurt him so deeply that he thinks he needs stitches to mend his broken heart.
Charlie XCX uses onomatopoeia in her song Boom Clap when she sings "Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart..." This resembles Charlie's heart beating inside of her chest. The words boom and clap represent the noises her heart makes as it beats.
These are all great uses of figurative language! I would go into detail more, but other than that it is well-written!
ReplyDeleteI highly doubt anybody used the figurative language onomatopoeia so great job for being unique and finding a song that fits it perfectly! I know there are not many songs with the use of that figurative language.
ReplyDeleteStitches is such a great song , and especially with all the figurative language. We do understand how he is exaggerating about how much love he had and became broken.
ReplyDeleteAll these songs are good for figurative language like Taylor Swift always uses simile like "Mean" explains every word you say to a person can be hurtful and painful. Just add more detail to make the songs more catchy and interesting. Overall very good song selections.
ReplyDeleteStitches is the best example that I have seen so far! especially that part of the song you chose.
