Hyperbole

Take Me There- Rascal Flatts

I wanna know, everything about you.
And I wanna go, down every road you've been.
Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live, where you keep the rest of your life hid.
I wanna know the girl behind that pretty stare.Take me there.

Take me there is a song about a guy who is truely in love with this girl and wants to know everything about her. I used this song as an example for an hyperbole because it exaggerates the point that he wants to know alot about her. For example, "I wanna go down every road you've been", he legitimately doesnt want to go down ever single road shes ever been on he just wants to know alittle about where she used to live.



Yeah She Does- Rodney Atkins

I love every thing about her,
Specially when she wants my love
She's got a jealous bone
She likes me under her thumb

And if she ever said goodbye
I know that I would surely die

Yeah she does by Rodney A. is about how much he knows his wife loves him. This song is a good example of usage of the literary device, hyperbole. There are several examples of hyperboles in this songs. For example, "She likes me under her thumb", this line is exaggerating the fact that shes jealous it is stating she is so jealous that she keeps him under her thumb. Another example is "And if she ever said goodbye, I know that i would surely die", this is trying to show that if she ever left him he would be extremely crushed but he wouldnt legitimately die.
