Battlefield by Jordin Sparks � “Why does love always feel like a battlefield…” This is an example of a simile. I know this because the lyric is comparing love to a battlefield using the word like.

Stereo Heart by Gym Class Hero's � “I’m not an old record that you can blow off and play me…” This is an example of a metaphor. The reason it is a metaphor is because its comparing to unlike things without using like or as.

C'mon by Panic! at the Disco ft. fun � “Falling forever, wonderfully wandering alone…” This is an example of Alliteration. Reason being is it repeats the same first letter.

A Year Without Rain by Selena Gomez � “A year without you is like a year without rain…” That is an example of Hyperbole. In these lyrics Selena is over exaggerating and expressing what a year would be like without the person.

Boom Pow by Black Eyed Peas � “Boom boom (gotta get) x 4. . ” This lyric is an example of a onomatopoeia. The black eyed peas are singing a sound. (Ex. Boom, Pow, Bang, Crack)

Texas was you by Jason Aldean � “Texas, was green eyes crying goodbye…” This last one is an example of Sensory imagery. Jason Aldean is describing and painting a mental picture in your head of a girl with green eyes crying as you listen to the lyrics.
