Possibility

Lykke Li

There’s a possibility
There’s a possibility
All that I had was all I gon’ get
There’s a possibility
There’s a possibility
All I gon' get is gone with your step


So tell me when you hear my heart stop,
You’re the only who knows
Tell me when you hear my silence
There’s a possibility
I wouldn’t know

Know that when you leave
Know that when you leave
By blood and by mean
You walk like a thief
By blood and by mean
I fall when you leave

So tell me when you hear my heart stop,
You’re the only who knows
Tell me when you hear my silence
There’s a possibility
I wouldn’t know

Tell me when my sigh is over
You’re the reason why I’m closed
Tell me if you hear me falling
There's a possibility
It wouldn’t show

By blood and by mean
I fall when you leave
By blood and by mean
I follow your lead

Alliteration is used in the first verse with the words "gon'" and "get" (g sound).

Alliteration is also used in the third and fifth verses with a "b" sound and the words "by blood".

Repetition is used in the first verse with the words "There's a possibility". It adds emphasis to this part of the song.

The words "By blood and by mean" are also repeated in the third and fifth verses. This tells you that these words are important.

Assonance is used in the first verse with a short "a" sound and the words "that I had".

I think this song is feeling lost when people leave you. Sometimes people don't realize the impact they have on our lives, and sometimes we don't realize it until they're gone.
