"I wanna see Paris, I wanna see Tokyo
I wanna be careless even if I break my bones
I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young" from "I'm Born to Run" by American Authors. It has some Rhyming with Pris and Carless and Tokyo and bones. It also has repition with the words "I wanna" and see and be rhyme too.

"For the life of me,
I can not remember
what made us think that we were wise and we’d never compromise…"

¨These are different times but we feel the same pains
The blood of mankind runnin through the same veins
We'd like to make it right some which it remain tame
Same crimes even though they names changed
And we like different minds workin off the same brain
Passengers on different cars steppin off the same train
In the end, makin it rights the main aim
Different parts of the picture highlight the same frame¨

Work it Out, By Jurassic 5 and Dave Matthews Band.

This verse of the song uses assonance exceptionally.

The song The Nights by Avicill demonstrates a metaphor within music. "When thunder clouds start pouring down, Light a fire they can’t put out." This lyric compares times of sorrow to pouring thunder clouds. This additionally compares finding the good in every bad situation to lighting a fire.

The song Nobody by Mitski demonstrates anaphora in its lyrics,
"I’ve been big and small,
And big and small,
And big and small again,
And still nobody wants me.”
This repetition is used to get across the theme of loneliness.

"Let It Be" by the beatles demonstrates alliteration

The lyrics "Whisper words of wisdom" is alliteration because the letter "w" appears at the beginning of 3 of the 4 words.

"Break My Stride" by Matthew Wilder demonstrates rhyming

"The road behind was rocky"
"But now you're feeling cocky"

Talking about him how he keeps going.

Take a Walk by Passion Pit

All these kinds of places
Make it seem like it's been ages
Tomorrow's sun with buildings scrape the sky
I love this country dearly
I can feel the lighter clearly
But never thought I'd be alone to try

These lyrics first of all, rhyme, and second of all, tell a story in a very few sentences. The imagery in the poem along with the title makes the listener or reader imagine walking down a city street while thinking about life
