POETIC DEVICES
IN SONGS!
By: Nisha Tailor
REPETITIVE
THE PURPOSEFUL RE-USE OF WORDS AND PHRASES FOR AN
EFFECT.
Pills n’ Potions- Nicki Manaj
Pills n’ Potions
We’re Overdosing
Cant stand it but I still love you
I still love, I still love, I still love , I still love , I still lo-
o-ove.
I still love, I still love, I still love , I still love , I still
love.
I still love, I still love, I still love , I still love , I still lo-
o-ove.
I still love, I still love, I still love , I still love , I still
love.
METAPHOR
ONE KIND OF OBJECT OR IDEA IS GIVEN THE
QUALITIES OF ANOTHER
Not a Bad thing- Justin Timberlake
I know people make promises all the time
Then they turn right around and break
them
When someone cuts your heart open with
a knife and your bleeding
ONOMATOPOEIA
A WORD THAT IMITATES A SOUND
Tick Tock- Kesha
Don`t stop make it pop, DJ blow my
speakers up, tonight I’mma fight `till we
see the sunlight. Tick Tock on the clock
but the party don`t stop.
SIMILE
A COMPARISON OF TWO THINGS NORMALLY
QUITE DIFFERENT, USING ‘LIKE’ OR ‘AS’
Skyscraper- Demi Lovato
You can take everything I have , you can break
everything I am, like I’m made of glass, like I'm made
of paper
SIMILE #2
A COMPARISON OF TWO THINGS NORMALLY
QUITE DIFFERENT, USING ‘LIKE’ OR ‘AS’
Katy Perry- Hot n’ Cold
You change your mind
like a girl changes clothes
HYPERBOLE
DELIBERATE EXAGGERATION
A Thousand Years- Christina Perry
I have died every day waiting for
you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved
you for a thousand years I’ll love
you for a thousand more.
RHYME
WORDS THAT
HAVE DIFFERENT BEGINNING SOUNDS BUT WHOSE ENDINGS
SOUND ALIKE
Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and
daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the
path
RHYME #2
WORDS THAT
HAVE DIFFERENT BEGINNING SOUNDS BUT WHOSE ENDINGS
SOUND ALIKE
Demons- Imagine Dragons
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see are all made
of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all and the bloods
run stale
Thanks for Watching!
