To me a HYPERBOLE is.... Well first the definition of a hy·per·bo·le is an  Exaggerated statement or claim not meant to be taken literally. In other words its pretty much someone streching the truth to sound cooler. P.S. Everyone in the world uses hyperboles ^_^

Here is one poem/lyrics that uses an hyperbole or multiple hyperboles now I know what your thinking these lyrics are gonna have money,hoes, and tricks in them well your wrong. One of my favorite alternative songs are                                           

                Pumped Up Kicks   

                     "Foster The People"

Robert's got a quick hand.
He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan.
He's got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid.
Yeah, he found a six shooter gun.
In his dad's closet hidden with a box of fun things, and I don't even know what.
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you.
[Chorus: x2]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
Daddy works a long day.
He'll be coming home late, he's coming home late.
And he's bringing me a surprise.
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice.
I've waited for a long time.
Yeah the sleight of my hand is now a quick-pull trigger,
I reason with my cigarette,
And say, "Your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah."[Chorus: x2]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
[Whistling]
[Chorus: x4]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

TONE=laid back/serious

MOOD=dark/worried

MEANING=this song is "a lack of love, bullying; isolation." With Roberts dad gone all day, he is isolated alone. This song shows the problems of most children and Foster also claimed "I wrote this song to bring awareness to all of the bullying and some of the school shootings that have happened in the last generation."
