I need help with thinking of some poetic devices in a song that was given to me by my teacher. (Poetic devices ie: Metaphors, Similes, Hyperbole) The song is Time is Running Out by Muse, and I already have a couple but I need to do a whole freakin oral presentation on this... and I think I need more. Please list as many as possible... this is due tomorrow and I really need help!
Thanks in advance, and to make it a bit easier... here are the Lyrics.... even though you can look them up... :)

I think I'm drowning
asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
that you've created

you're something beautiful
a contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction

you will be the death of me
you will be the death of me

bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
our time is running out
you can't push it underground
you can't stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom
bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
but I'm addicted

now that you know I'm trapped sense of elation
you'd never dream of
breaking this fixation

you will squeeze the life out of me

bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
our time is running out
you can't push it underground
you can't stop it screaming out
how did it come to this?
ooooohh

you will suck the life out of me

bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
our time is running out
you can't push it underground
you can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
ooooohh
