Lyrics analysis: "At Last" by Beyonce

At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

Ohh yeah yeah
At last
the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known

Ohh yeah yeah
You smile, you smile
oh And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last



And life is like a song --> SIMILE: Her “life” is compared to a “song”

My heart was wrapped up in clover --> METAPHOR: In reality, her heart isn’t wrapped up in a clover

Dream --> PERSONNIFICATION: Her crush is represented as a dream, since it is so good and perfect

The theme of the song is love. It is talking about new love, when you just have a crush on someone.
