Song Lyrics that Have literary Devices in them?

Reply:Virtually all of them have at least the simile. I'm not good at songs, but those which say "You are like...." have a simile.





The other ones are more complex, but just look for a song you like and it will most likely include some of them.
Reply:I love this song....and I think it has a lot of the traits your speaking of:





Just like Heaven by the Cure





Show me Show me


Show me how you do that trick


The one that makes me scream" she said


"The one that makes me laugh" she said


And threw her arms around my neck


"Show me how you do it


And I promise you I promise that


I'll run away with you


I'll run away with you"





Spinning on that dizzy edge


I kissed her face and kissed her head


And dreamed of all the different ways I had


To make her glow


"Why are you so far away?" she said


"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you


That I'm in love with you"





You


Soft and only


You


Lost and lonely


You


Strange as angels


Dancing in the deepest oceans


Twisting in the water


You're just like a dream





Daylight licked me into shape


I must have been asleep for days


And moving lips to breathe her name


I opened up my eyes


And found myself alone alone


Alone above a raging sea


That stole the only girl I loved


And drowned her deep inside of me





You


Soft and only


You


Lost and lonely


You


Just like heaven

Reply:I am the very model of a modern Major-General,


I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,


I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical


From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;


I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,


I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,


About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,


With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.


I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;


I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:


In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,


I am the very model of a modern Major-General.


I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;


I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,


I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,


In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;


I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,


I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes!


Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,


And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.


Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,


And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus' uniform:


In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,


I am the very model of a modern Major-General.


In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",


When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle[*] from a javelin,


When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,


And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",


When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,


When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery—


In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy—


You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a-gee.


For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,


Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;


But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,


I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
