Lyrics
Figurative Language Chorus Sometimes what you mean is not exactly what you say That's gurative language, using words in different ways Personication, alliteration, assonance, hyperbole Onomatopoeia, metaphor, and simile Verse I When Sally seems to sit somewhere separate from Sonia, Or Caleb calls Chris cause he's coming to California It's called alliteration: that's what occurs When you got the same sound at the start of every word But when you've got a vowel sound that keeps sounding the same That's a gure called assonance, yeah, that's its name It's what I'm trying to dene by providing this example But I cannot deny that assonance can be a handful Verse II A simile is something that you use to compare Two unrelated things with an element that's shared My mind is like an ocean; it's as smooth as jazz But it's only a simile if it uses like or as A metaphor is similar, but watch out! Be careful 'cause you've got to leave like and as out My mind is an ocean; my words are a river, So keep your ears open as I continue to deliver Verse III Now if the sun's smiling down, or the boat hugged the shore Thats personication, nothing less, nothing more But with a buzz or a ding or a hiss or a roar Thats onomatopoeia that we're using for sure Hyperbole: man, that's like a million times harder! Take something true, then exaggerate it way farther Now you've heard this song from beginning to the nish Now youve got some tools to draw your literary image
