    Default Poem Analysis

    I am extremely bad at analyzing poetry, and I have to find a song to analyze.
    I close Papercut, by Linkin Park, but I'm offering anyone who helps with like: Symbolism (the face=blah), similies, and personifications. Plus: Themes, Audience, Speaker, and Tone.
    If anyone helps alot, they'll receive an hc sofa.
    Also, the 4 lines in the second stanza, whould they be considered similes?
    Thanks

    Why does it feel like night today?
    Something in here's not right today.
    Why am I so uptight today?
    Paranoia's all I got left
    I don't know what stressed me first
    Or how the pressure was fed
    But I know just what it feels like
    To have a voice in the back of my head
    It's like a face that I hold inside
    A face that awakes when I close my eyes
    A face watches every time I lie
    A face that laughs every time I fall
    (And watches everything)
    So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
    That the face inside is hearing me
    Right underneath my skin

    It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
    It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
    It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
    It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

    I know I've got a face in me
    Points out all my mistakes to me
    You've got a face on the inside too and
    Your paranoia's probably worse
    I don't know what set me off first but I know what I can't stand
    Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
    I can't add up to what you can but
    Everybody has a face that they hold inside
    A face that awakes when I close my eyes
    A face watches every time they lie
    A face that laughs every time they fall
    (And watches everything)
    So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
    That the face inside is watching you too
    Right inside your skin

    Chorus

    The face inside is right beneath your skin (3x)

    The sun goes down
    I feel the light betray me (Repeat until end)

    Chorus (Repeat until end)

    yes the last four lines of the second stanza are similies, they contain 'like'
    also, in the thrid stanza line 4, theres an example of alliteration (probably paranoia)
    both begin with 'p'. If i can find any other poetic devices i will edit this post, because i am also doign poetry and i will probably study these lyrics too
    well, this is a blast from the past!!
