Hyperbole is a huge exaggeration. In this song, “Candle in the Wind” by Elton John, there is hyperbole. In these lyrics, is hyperbole, “…it seemed to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind.” This is hyperbole because if there was a candle in the wind, the candle would get blown out. Elton John said this because there is this person that has been turned down by many, many people and they were really sad.
