Bring Me to Life -Evanescence

Evanescence is an American rock band formed in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995 by singer Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody. The two met at a youth camp where Moody heard Amy Lee singing a song by Meatloaf. In early 2003, the band was completed by Amy Lee and Ben Moody's friends, John LeCompt, Rocky Gray and Will Boyd, all of whom worked on Evanescence's earlier songs. Meanwhile, Evanescence signed on with their first major label, Wind-up Records, and began work on their first album, Fallen. Fallen spent forty-three weeks on the Billboard Top 10, was certified seven times Platinum in the United States, and sold more than fifteen million copies worldwide, including seven million in the U.S. The album was listed for one hundred and four weeks on the Billboard Top 200, and it was one of eight albums in the history of the chart to spend at least a year on the Billboard Top 50. Evanescence's major label debut single "Bring Me to Life", featuring guest vocals from Paul McCoy of 12 Stones, was a global hit for the band and reached number five on the American Billboard Hot 100. It gave Evanescence their first UK number one single, where it stayed for four weeks from June-July 2003. The song also became the official theme for WWE No Way Out 2003.
The song “Bring Me to Life” has many poetic devices in it. For example, there is a simile in the line “How can you see into my eyes like open doors?” This shows how he can see what she is thinking, as if her eyes were open doors. There is consonance in the line “Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold.” There is a hyperbole in the line “Frozen inside without your touch.” This is an exaggeration because she is not really frozen inside. There is another hyperbole in the line “Only you are the life among the dead.” There is another hyperbole in the line “I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems.” Obviously, he has not really been sleeping for a thousand years.
The main device in this song is hyperbole, because they are both exaggerating the fact that they feel empty without the other. They use many hyperboles to show how alone they feel and how they feel like they are going to die unless the other one is with them.
