Anaphora

"Far Away"
-Nickelback

This time, This place
Misused
Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it allI'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,you know, you know

[CHORUS]

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wantedI wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go


"Far Away" by Nickelback uses anaphora repetition in the song to prove a point. Anaphora is repeating the same phrase at the beginning of a few lines. They use the phrase "far away" many times in the song because they are saying that him and his loved one have been far away from each other for far too long. The phrase is very demanding and saying that they have been apart for too long and he wants them back together. Using this phrase so many times lets the listener understand how he feels and his main emotion.
