Examples of Poetic Devices (PDs) in Songs

1. “Lose Yourself” by Eminem
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy PD: Consonance
There's vomit on his sweater already: Mom's spaghetti Notice Eminem’s use of
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready the sound “uhm”
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting to create rhythm.

What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud PD: Consonance
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out The use of the sound “_____”
He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now to create rhythm. Underline
The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow! the similar sounds in this
verse.

2. “Titanium” by David Guetta feat. Sia

I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet PD: Personification

Shoot me down, but I get up Briefly explain:

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire away PD: ___________________________
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down, but I won't fall

I am titanium

3. “Walk on Water” by Eminem feat. Beyoncé

I walk on water PD: ___________________________
But I ain't no Jesus
I walk on water
But only when it freezes

'Cause I'm only human, just like you PD: Tone

I've been making my mistakes, oh if you only knew How can the tone be
I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do described? Underline
'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh the words that suggest
If I walked on water, I would drown the tone.
