I thought that I've been hurt before

I thought that i've been hurt before

But no one's ever left me quite this sore

Your words cut deeper than a knife

Now I need someone to breathe me back to life

Got a feeling that I'm going under

But I know that I'll make it out alive

If I quit calling you my lover

Move on

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe

I'm shaking falling onto my knees

And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches

I'm tripping over myself

I'm aching begging you to come help

And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches

Just like a moth drawn to a flame

Oh you lured me in I couldn't sense the pain

Your bitter heart cold to the touch

Now I'm gonna reap what I sew

I'm left seeing red on my own

Got a feeling that I'm going under

But I know that I'll make it out alive

If I quit calling you my lover

Move on

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe

I'm shaking falling onto my knees

And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches

I'm tripping over myself

I'm aching begging you to come help

And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches

Needle and the thread

Gotta get you out of my head

Needle and the thread

Gonna wind up dead

Needle and the thread

Gotta get you out of my head

Needle and the thread

Gonna wind up dead

Needle and the thread

Gotta get you out of my head

Needle and the thread

Gonna wind up dead

Needle and the thread

Gotta get you out of my head get you out of my head

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe

I'm shaking falling onto my knees

And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches

I'm tripping over myself

I'm aching begging you to come help

And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches

And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches

And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches

“But no one's ever left me quite this sore” I believe that this part of this song is meant so say that Its a hyperbole because there is no way that a person can leave you sore, therefore i think its trying to say that a person can hurt some so bad that they feel so numb. “ Your words cut deeper than a knife” I also believe that this a hyperbole because words can’t cut but what i think hes trying to say is that, whatever this person is saying he didn't expected this, that wasn't what he wanted to hear.

Fireworks-Drake

All I see is fireworks

Every night it's fireworks

Every night it's fireworks

Money just changed everything

I wonder how life without it would go

From the concrete who knew that a flower would grow

Looking down from the top and it's crowded below

My fifteen minutes started an hour ago

Truth over fame, you know I respect the blatant [ ]

When I hear 'em talking, I just don't know what to make of it

Hate is so familiar to me, I'm slowly embracing it

Doesn't come natural, bear with me, it could take a bit

Yeah and my dreams are who I'm racing with

But you can see I'm pacing it so that I'm always chasing it

Wayne put me right here, that's who I get the paper with

I hope that my success never alters our relationship

Yeah, this life is something I would die for

October's Own but it's looking like July 4

I just wish they'd let you try it first

This time I'm really going off, fireworks

Oh, today it begins

I've missed them before, but won't miss them again

I keep having the same dream

And I think that I just realized what it means

All I see is fireworks

All I see is fireworks

Every night it's fireworks

Every night it's fireworks

All I see is fireworks

All I see is fireworks

Taking off like fireworks

Taking off like—Oh

I'm just such a gentleman, you should give it up for me

Look at how I'm placing all my napkins and my cutlery

I could tell it wasn't love, I just thought you'd [ ] with me

Who could of predicted Lucky Strike

Would have you stuck with me

Damn, I kept my wits about me luckily

What happened between us that night

It always seems to trouble me

Now all of a sudden these gossip blogs want to cover me

And you making it seem

That it happened that way because of me

But I was curious and I'll never forget it baby

What an experience, you could of been the one

But it wasn't that serious

There was smoke in the air before

That was me clearing it—that felt good

All in all, I learned a lesson from it though

You never see it coming, you just get to see it go

Yeah, I shoulda looked up in the sky at first

Now I can see it in her eyes, fireworks

Oh, today it begins

I've missed them before, but won't miss them again

I keep having the same dream

And I think that I just realized what it means

All I see is fireworks

All I see is fireworks

All I see is fireworks

Taking off like fireworks

Taking off like—Oh

Everything's the same but it feels different

My dad called me up knowing that I still listen

And he's still got his foot out, guilt tripping

It's been years though, I just learn to deal with it

For real, me and my realtor, we built up a better rapport

Got my mother in a place with some better decor

She searched the entire city, I let her explore

And now she's saying she's more lonely than ever before

How many of our parents marriages lasted?

I was only 5, I bet I barely reacted

I'm flying back home for the Heritage Classic

Searching for that feeling, tell me where is the magic

Let's stay together 'til we're ghosts

I want to witness love, I never seen it close

Yeah, but I guess I gotta find it first

That's why I'm really going off, fireworks

Oh, today it begins

I've missed them before, but won't miss them again

I keep having the same dream

And I think that I just realized what it means

All I see is fireworks

All I see is fireworks

Every night it's fireworks

Every night it's fireworks

All I see is fireworks

All I see is fireworks

Taking off like fireworks

Taking off like—Oh

Now all of a sudden these gossip blogs want to cover me” I say this is a simile because the gossip blogs can’t really cover him. What drake is trying to say is that the gossip blogs keep saying nothing but the truth and trying to make things up. “Got my mother in a place with some better decor” In this part of the song he is setting imagery by informing that he got his mother in a better place.

Confetti- Tori kelly

I gotta keep myself in check sometimes

'Cause' I tend to dream real big sometime

The fancy outfits and the sparkly awards

My name in lights, the people lined up at the doors

But I gotta remember to take it one step at a time

'Cause people seem to think

That you'll be happier, once you reach the top

You'll have it all

But I'm living for right now

'Cause what if tomorrow never comes

I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting

For the confetti to fall

I can't just sit around and wait for my life to start

I can make a difference, put a little happiness in someone's heart

The fancy cars, the glitter and the fame

It's all nice, but it won't be worth a thing

Love is bigger, so I'mma stand up for love, yeah

People seem to think

That you'll be happier, once you reach the top

You'll have it all

But I'm living for right now

'Cause what if tomorrow never comes

I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting

For the confetti to fall

If there was a rope stretching up to the sky

With all of my dreams at the very top, so high

I get so caught up in everything around me, moving quickly

I forget to cherish every single moment I receive Oh

I forget about the climb, I just wanna get there

Don't wanna wait in line, even though it's so clear

That I'm called to use patience on this journey that I'm on

I know that I'll come out alive and it'll only make me stronger

Oh oh, while everybody's focused on the hype

Oh oh, oh oh... I'll be wondering why we seem to think

You'll be happier, once you reach the top

You'll have it all

But I'm living for right now

'Cause what if tomorrow never comes

I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting, no

People seem to think

That you'll be happier, once you reach the top

You'll have it all

But I'm living for right now, hey

'Cause what if tomorrow never comes

I'm not waiting, no I'm not waiting

For the confetti to fall

I'm not waiting to be happy

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Ooh, yeah

“...put a little happiness in someone’s heart” is a simile because there’s no way to physically put happiness in someone’s heart. Tori Kelly in this part is talking about instead of all these things famous people should have, there’s nothing better than making someone happy. “ The fancy outfits and the sparkly awards” She is saying that this is what people say that need to be dress and what they need to be happy. This also explains of how their are dressed.

My life is a circus

My sisters are the monkeys, always fooling around

My parents are the ringmasters always telling us what to do

My pet fish is a tiger, always grabbing attention

All the little cousins seems to be the clowns, always messing around with everyone

All the "cool" cousins are face painters, always adding color and fun to our life

My extended family is the audience, laughing and smiling at how crazy we are

My grandparents are the circus planners, doing everything they can for us to make life easier

I am the drummer, tap tap tap

I seem to be always playing songs, always keeping tempo

"tap tap tap" I added in the onomatopoeia in this poem to capture the sounds of what a drum make and add detail. "My pet fish is a tiger, always grabbing attention" This part of the poem adds personification to the story to show a comparison between the pet fish and the tigar
