For each example of figurative language, you need to say WHAT figurative language technique it is, WHAT the lyrics are that it appears in, and WHY it fits for that technique.Please please please please use my example for what it can look like!Examples Song: "Fireflies" by Owl City1. PERSONIFICATION"If ten million fireflies // Lit up the world as I fell asleep // Cause they fill the open air // And leave teardrops everywhere"These lyrics show personification because fireflies cannot cry and leave teardrops everywhere, that is something a human can do.2. HYPERBOLE"Cause I'd get ten thousand hugs // From ten thousand lightning bugs"These lyrics show hyperbole because it would be actually impossible to get 10,000 hugs from 10,000 lightning bugs. Song: "Sunflower" by Post Malone3. METAPHOR"You're the sunflower"This lyric compares someone to a sunflower. It does NOT use "like" or "as", so it is not a simile. Song: "Rockstar" by Nickelback4. ALLUSION"I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs"This lyric is an example of an allusion because it references Cribs, which was a popular MTV show in the 2000s.
