Spinning Out of Control by Hoobastank
I've done everything as you say
I followed your rules without question
I thought it would help me see things clearly
But instead of helping me to see
I look around and it’s like I'm blinded*
(Chorus)I'm spinning out of control out of control**
I'm spinning out of control out of control**
(go)Where should go
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
(go)Cuz I don't know (do) if I can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me(End Chorus)
I feel like I'm spinning out of control**
I try to focus but everythings twisted*
And all along I thought you would be there (thought you would be there)
So let me know I'm not alone
But in fact that's exactly what I was
(Chorus)
Or the things you said to me
And I may never know
The answer to this endless mystery**
(go) Where should I go
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
Is it a mystery?
Is it a mystery?
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Where should I go
(do) what should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
(go) 'cause I don't know (do) if I can trust you
Or all of the things you said to me
And I may never know the answer to this endless mystery**
Where should I go
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control

*The stylistic device used in the fifth line is a simile. When the songwriter says that he looks around and it's like he's blinded, he means that he doesn't know what to do. It effects the song by giving it a feeling of confusion. **The second stylistic device used in the sixth line is hyperbole. The songwriter is saying that he's lost his bearings. It effects the song by giving a sense of desperation and feeling of helplessness.
“Feel Good” Inc by Gorillaz
City's breaking down on a camel's back*
They just have to go 'cause they don't know whack
So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
You won't get out the county, 'cause you're bad and free**
You've got a new horizon It's ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I want to hear is the message beep
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I don't get sleep, no**
(Chorus) Windmill, Windmill for the land
Learn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is stinking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in? (End Chorus)
Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats
Lining them up-a like a** cracks
Ladies, homies, at the track
It's my chocolate attack
S***, I'm stepping in the heart of this here
Care bear bumping in the heart of this here
Watch me as I gravitate, ha ha ha
Yo, we gonna go ghost town
This Motown, with yo sound*
You're in the place
You gonna bite the dust
Can't fight with us
With yo sound, you kill the INC
So don't stop, get it, get it
Until you're cheddar header
Yo, watch the way I navigate, ha ha ha
(Chorus)

**The stylistic device used in the twenty-fifth line is an allusion. The songwriter is referring to the Motown sound which is a type of soul music. The songwriter is saying "yo sound" is the Motown sound. This effects the song by giving it a sense of unity. *The second stylistic device used in the eighth line is personification. The songwriter is trying to say that he can't get sleep unless his dreams get a goodnight kiss. It gives the song a feeling of peacefulness.
“Stylo” by Gorillaz, Mos Def
(Chorus) Love, electricity, shockwave central
Power on the motherboard, yes
Push up, overload, legendary heavy glow**
Sunshine, thunder roll, keep this on
Yes the lantern burn, burn that easy
And broadcast, so raw and neatly
Thunder roll, sunshine, work it out(End Chorus)
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' up to the
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' up to the
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' up to the
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' up to the
Oh Stylo
Go forth, blossom in your soul
When you know your heart is light
Electric is the love*
When the mako flies up from the bottom in your eyes
Then I know the twilight skies are not so broken hearted
If it's love is electric
It'll be flowing on the streets
Night after night
Just to get through the week
Sometimes it's hard
Right now
Sing yourself out of depression, rise above
Always searching if I know your heart
Electric is the love
There's only one way
Let it pray a little while longer
It's got a way of passing through man and woman
In another world
In another world, in the universe, oh
Right now
Here's what we got to do
If it's love is electric
It'll be flowing on the streets
Night after night
Just to get through the week
Sometimes it's hard
That's what I'm talking about
Right now

The stylistic device used in the nineteenth line is a metaphor. When the songwriter says electric is the love, he means that it flows through people like electricity through electrical devices. This effects the song by giving a sharp, warm feeling. **The stylistic device in the third line is imagery. The songwriter is saying the legendary heavy glow is very bright and vibrant. It gives a feeling of warmth.
Breathless World
Breathing is the most important thing, no,
Without it, you won't be able to live,
Oxygen is the thing that keeps you alive,
It sails through the air as well as flow through you,
Without it, you won't survive,
From the trees in which they give,
Which is the source if you must know,
Oxygen lives within water,
Without it, the world will be as dry as a desert,
Earth would become lifeless as if there was a slaughter
