In example, in “Ego Tripping” she wrote, “My nose giving oil to the arab world”. In addition, she also she wrote “I got hot and sent an ice age to Europe”. This is the poetic technique of hyperbole where she uses exaggeration to highlight her liberated self where she can do all things, and there’s no border. Nikki uses hyperbole to reveal that she’s very influential, powerful and crucial because she’s saying things beyond her abilities. When she said “My nose giving oil to the arab world”, this makes her very important and powerful because oil is very crucial and if she can produce it, this makes her very important as well. Furthermore, being able to “give oil” you must have a lot of abilities beyond what you can do, in which gives her the power to everything because she can support a country with oil. Also, when she wrote “I got hot and sent an ice age to Europe” this gives her and help a her built a very strong and tough image, since being able to sent an ice age to Europe isn’t possible. This is because ice age only happens due to natural forces, however “sending” and ice age to Europe makes her supreme because she’s boasting about herself to make her confidence by saying she’s needed just like how nature is needed for all living things to go right. The hyperbole way beyond her ability evokes the idea

Your first thought is the love between the couple is toxic and lethal yet, he cannot resist his partner. But, really it is a reference to Cocaine. Cocaine is given a female voice. He uses personification by bringing the drug to life, where it can communicate with him and become part of his life. He knows that this “girl” meaning, Cocaine is going to be the death of him. While in use of Cocaine he gets numb. “But at least we’ll both be beautiful and stay forever young/ This I know, (yeah) this I know” (3-4). You say again, that he is singing about how the love is so very satisfying. But he is actually meaning that his desire for this young and beautiful woman makes him feel good. He feels as if he is invincible when he has her. Even though he seems to be aware of the consequences that come with feeling young and beautiful; with the use of Cocaine. “She told me, ‘Don’t worry about it.’/ She told me, ‘Don’t worry no more.’/ We both knew we can’t go without it/ She told me you’ll

The tone of “Runaway Love” is sad, depressing, and it opens the eyes of the listeners. These characteristics seem to go along well with the song’s lyrics. Although Ludacris only uses a few poetic devices, they enhance the tone of the song. People who read the lyrics to Ludacris’ song can tell that he is portraying a very serious story.

Every song can make one feel the emotion of the song. Depending on the song whether it is “Before He Cheats” or “Just A Dream” will show different emotions. In the song “Before He Cheats,” “I took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights, a hole in all 4 tires… Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.” This emotion you can say is anger, she is also heartbroken but past the crying and sad part of it but to the point of anger and hatred. This song can really get you pumped up and hating all the cheaters in the world. In the song “Just A Dream” her emotion starts out somewhat happy, “It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen, All dressed in white, Going to the church that night, She had his box of letters in the passenger seat, Sixpence in a shoe,

quiet seas of Kona, to tell their story. This song is a simple love song about how much

First, the song shows what love can actually do to you as a whole. It can make you feel like you lost a piece of yourself

This song creates yet another heartwarming story by incorporating the values of love and marriage into its lyrics. For example, the line “So, we planned it all out for the middle of June, from the wedding cake to the honeymoon, and your momma cried when you walked down the aisle,” gives the audience the classic, lovely vision of getting married. Similar lyrics in the song such as “Yeah baby I love you a lot” and “I think we’ve got a real good shot” also tie in the human desire to be loved by another individual. These specific lyrics are significant because they all appeal to human nature’s yearning for interpersonal connection. This means an audience member can connect to the lyrics in this song on a deep level.

The first verse of the song shares the troubled relationship between the father and son, when it said, “he came to the world in the usual way, but there were planes to catch and bills to pay. He learned to walk while I was away.” This verse explained that he was away on some type of career to make money for the family, and provide for the son financially. However, he wasn’t able to spend quality time with him, and missed important milestones in his life, such as taking his first steps. His career obviously came before his son and family, and he made excuses for that. Then it finishes with the chorus, which says, “when you

    The rhyme scheme that is portrayed in the poem is ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH and so on. The meaning of this rhyme scheme is every other line rhyme with one another. For example, line one and three rhyme with each other because line 1 ends with brother and line three ends with mothers and that rhyme with each other. Also, line 2 ends with years and line four end with tears and those two rhyme with one another. This poem is literal because it is straightforward with what is going on the poem from the title and throughout the poetry. The poem is literal with explaining that there are children who are going through a depressed time because they are forced to do hard work and believe that death is the best way out. Child labor is causing the children to not live their life as a kid instead as adult with all the hard work they have to do.

This very slow song, so in my opinion I think it reinforces a sense of bittersweet, because even though she mentions how she wants to be remembered for the good things that she did she also mentions death and regrets in her song.
