Metaphor

Aval oru varam enakku / Nagaradha orr gadigaram naan / Karai neeya alai naanaeVOICEOVER: The line directly compares the woman to a divine blessing (varam), the protagonist to an unmoving clock, and the lovers to shore and wave without using comparative words like 'pola'.

Simile (Upamai)

Nurai pola ninai ingu... / Ye sillu sillai... ena kanna katti kaatil vittu sirikkadhadiVOICEOVER: Employs 'pola' (like) to compare lingering memories to expanding ocean foam, and uses vivid imagery of being blindfolded and left in a forest to express helplessness.

Emonai & Edhugai (Tamil Rhyming Conventions)

Karai neeya alai naanae / Unai theendinenVOICEOVER: Demonstrates internal assonance, soft consonant flow, and rhythmic repetition characteristic of classic Tamil lyrical composition.
