I can't erase it anymore
It follows me everywhere I go
It's like a mask that I don't want to wear anymore
I think I've found a way to let it go
But it's still too soon to know for sure
I'd give everything I am
To just feel somethin'
Can you feel that?
Scream! When the pressure breaks me
When it's too hard to see
When I feel like I'm at the end of my rope
One more time
Scream! When the fire burns me
When it's hard to break free
When I feel like I'm standin' on the edge
Of it all this time
I can't suppress it anymore
Here it comes like a flood
Just like before, when it rains, it pours
And I don't want to swim anymore
I think I've found a way to let it go
I don't know, I've never felt this way before
But with everything I am, I just let go...
You make me wanna scream...
It's not a joke
I've felt as messed up as you do
I've felt the feelings you've been feeling
Been through the same things
You've been through
And I know how hard it is
To feel like you're all alone
We've all been given a second chance
But the chance is all our own
(It was right in front of me...)
Scream by the band Thousand Foot Krutch (a.k.a. TFK) is a good example of a song that is both a poem and a song. One example of proof is the line "when it rains, it pours and I don't want to swim anymore." This is a great example of a hyperbole. the mood of the song set by the pain in his voice during part such as "I know how hard it is to feel like you're all alone." "When I feel like I'm at the end of my rope
One more time" is an example of a simile. An assonance in the song could be "Just like before, when it rains, it pours and i dont want to swin anymore." because all of the words which "When the fire burns me" could be an example of figurative language because he doesn't mean a literal fire but rather a emotional pain.
"I'd give everything I am to just feel somethin'," could be considered an oxymoron because if you were to give everything you wouldent be able to feel anything
