Song

      The song that was picked was save me by Nicki Minaj. It has deep meaning about whats happening in her life. She feels weak and wants to give up, so she wants someone to save her.Also in this song she uses figurative language throughout it.


   The song talks about her trying to find herself and she feels like she is giving up. She's asking "someone" to save her, someone that as helped her before but she was never satisfied. Before she pushed that someone away and now she is tired of being alone. People search forever looking for something they think they need, in this song its a man and she has been searching for him. She thinks that a person matters so much that you need them to survive.


     There are a few figurative language devices said throughout the song. One is the first line "I drove for miles just to find you and find myself", this is a metonymy. She also uses syllepsis "all these voices in my head", shes using voices as a word to apply two others in different senses. Also "gave me hope for a lifetime" is a hyperbole, shes exaggerating by saying lifetime. She has alot of anaphora "this time wont you save me?" is repeated many times throughout the song. "But I'm alone on my throne" is a metaphor she doesn't actually mean she has a throne, she means shes alone in her life. One last device used is aphorism "I'm givin up, baby".
