Does the song stay by Rihanna have 5 poetic devices?

Answer 1

Let's take a look. Others feel free to identify additional poetic devices in (parentheses) and italics:

All along it was a fever

A cold sweat hot-headed believer - (metaphor, comparison of unlike things)

I threw my hands in the air, said, "Show me something,"

He said, "If you dare come a little closer."

Round and around and around and around we go

Oh now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know. - (repetition, redundancy. Nope, not a poetic device)

Not really sure how to feel about it.

Something in the way you move

Makes me feel like I can't live without you. - (Hyperbole, exaggeration for effect.)

It takes me all the way.

I want you to stay

It's not much of a life you're living

It's not just something you take - it's given - (Rhyme and Meter)

Round and around and around and around we go - (Alliteration, specifically Assonance, repetition of a specific vowel sound.)

Oh now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know.

Not really sure how to feel about it.

Something in the way you move

Makes me feel like I can't live without you.

It takes me all the way.

I want you to stay.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, the reason I hold on

Ooh, ooh, ooh, 'cause I need this hole gone (Metaphor, comparison, saying one thing is another).

Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving

'Cause when you never see the light it's hard to know which one of us is caving.

Not really sure how to feel about it.

Something in the way you move

Makes me feel like I can't live without you.

It takes me all the way.

I want you to stay, stay.

I want you to stay, oh.
