Song Lyric Poetry Project
1
For my project, I am using excerpts from the song "Firework" by Katy Perry
I used these lyrics because the song is loaded with figurative language.
Do you ever feel
Already buried deep
Six feet under
Screams but no one seems to hear
This is an example of alliteration.
The repetition of the s consonant
sound.
Do you ever feel
Feel so paper-thin
Like a house of cards
One blowing from caving in
KEY
Red - Simile
Orange - Alliteration
Green - Personification
Magenta - Rhyme
Light Blue - Repetition
Grey - Assonance
Pink - Onomatopoeia
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom
are examples of onomatopoeia. The words sound like a sound.
Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on show them what you're worth
Make them go, "Oh,oh,oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Work and worth are examples of assonance.
Both words have the same vowel sounds.
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the
moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of
you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
Maybe the reason why
All the doors are closed
So you could open one
That leads you to the perfect road
Boom, boom, boom
Moon, moon, moon
You, you, you
are all examples of repetition
Closed and road are examples of end
rhyme.
'
You're a firework is an example of metaphor.
it is comparing you to a firework.
As you shoot across the sky is a hyperbole.
It is an exaggeration. You cannot shoot
across the sky like a firework.
Ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Ignite and light are examples of
internal rhyme.
Own the night like the Fourth of
July is personification. Fourth of
July cannot own anything.
This is another example of a
simile comparing you to a house
of cards using the word like
Do you ever feel
Like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again
This is an example of a Simile
You is being compared to a
plastic bag with the use of
the word like.
