“Closer” By The Chainsmoker
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
You look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you, I was insane
Stay and play that Blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tuscon, okay
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no call
Now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I can't stop
No, I can't stop
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
This shows imagery, because it gives you the image of something. This gives you the image of a boyfriend pulling his girlfriend to him in the backseat of a car.
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
This shows imagery, because it gives you the image of a girlfriend biting her boyfriend shoulder where a tattoo is.
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
No we ain't ever getting older

“It Don’t Hurt Like It Used Too” By Billy Currington
I had a couple beers with one of my friends
Told him just how our story ends
Did all I could to try to make it work
But you drug my heart through the Alabama dirt, hey
This is a metaphor, the author used this metaphor to show that this girl put him through a lot. You can't literally drag someones heart through the Alabama dirt, because someone can't live without a heart. He's comparing the pain he put her through to her dragging his heart through the Alabama dirt.
I've been out the house, climbin' them walls
Checkin' that calendar, exin' days off, hey
Hit another bar, call another friend
Throw a few down, tell the story again
Hey, hey, what can I say?
I can just lie and say it's all okay
Oh-ho, what can I do?
Been goin' through Hell gettin' over you
But it don't hurt, it don't hurt like it used to
No it don't hurt, it don't hurt like it used to
I'm finally gettin' out back into the world
Life is good, I'll marry a girl
She got a beautiful heart, eyes are blue
I don't hardly ever think about you, hey
Hey, hey, what can I say?
I can just lie and say it's all okay
Oh-ho, what can I do?
Been goin' through hell gettin' over you
But it don't hurt, it don't hurt like it used to
No, it don't hurt, it don't hurt like it used to
Sometimes I find peace of mind in a bottle of wine
This is a metaphor, the author uses this metaphor to say that alcohol has helped him get over this girl and find his piece, but you cant find a piece of mind in a bottle of wine.
Sometimes I break down and cry
Hey, hey, what can I say?
I can just lie and say it's all okay
Oh-ho, what can I do?
Been goin' through hell gettin' over you
Hey, hey, what can I say?
I can just lie and say it's all okay
Oh-ho, what can I do?
Been goin' through hell gettin' over you
But it don't hurt, it don't hurt like it used to
No it don't hurt, it don't hurt like it used to
No it don't hurt, it don't hurt like it used to
It don't hurt, it don't hurt like it used to, hey

“Dark Horse” By Katy Perry
I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
And here you are
But you better choose carefully
'Cause I'm capable of anything
Of anything and everything
Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
But don't make me your enemy, your enemy, your enemy
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back
Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
This is a hyperbole, because it exaggerate that her love is so strong it will make you levitate but that's not possible for the love she has for him to make him levitate.
Like a bird
Like a bird without a cage
But down to earth
If you choose to walk away, don't walk away
It's in the palm of your hand now baby
It's a yes or no, no maybe
So just be sure before you give it up to me
Up to me, give it up to me
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back
She's a beast
I call her Karma
She eat your heart out
Like Jeffrey Dahmer
Be careful
Try not to lead her on
Shawty's heart was on steroids
Cause her love was so strong
This is a hyperbole because, her heart cant be on steroids because that would harm her. What he's trying to say is her love was so strong it made it seem like her heart would be on on steroids.
You may fall in love
When you meet her
If you get the chance you better keep her
She sweet as pie, but if you break her heart
She turn cold as a freezer
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
She can be my Sleeping Beauty
I'm gon' put her in a coma
Woo!
Damn I think I love her
Shawty so bad
I'm sprung and I don't care
She got me like a roller coaster
Turn the bedroom into a fair
Her love is like a drug
I was tryna hit it and quit it
But lil'mama so dope
I messed around and got addicted
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back
