Stand By: Emily Van Dyke

alright. Lyrics • Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of you might bend, till you break cause its all you can take on your knees you look up decide you've had enough you get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off then you Stand, Then you stand. • Life's like a novel with the end ripped out the edge of a canyon with only one way down take what you're given before its gone start holding on, keep holding on. • Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of you might bend till you break cause it's all you can take on your knees you look up

Figurative Language • Simile- You feel like a candle in a hurricane just like a picture with a broken frame, Life's like a novel with the end ripped out. • These are similes because they are comparing you to a broken picture frame, and a candle in a hurricane, and a novel with the end ripped out using like and as.

Figurative Language • Assonance- Fight, alright- Break, take- Gone, on. • Assonance is when you rhyme with vowels. These words rhyme because they end with (ight) (ake) (on). These all start with vowels.

Figurative Language • Hyperbole- Cause when push comes to shove, You taste what you're made of, You might bend, till you break. • These are examples of hyperboles because these things aren't really happening. No one is pushing or shoving you, you aren't licking or eating yourself, and it's not common for people to snap in half.

Summary • This song is about staying strong even when things get tough. Just never give up.
