Explanation:
China's social credit system has been compared to Black Mirror, Big Brother and every other dystopian future sci-fi writers can think up. The reality is more complicated — and in some ways, worse.
The idea for social credit came about back in 2007, with projects announced by the government as an opt-in system in 2014. But there's a difference between the official government system and private, corporate versions, though the latter's scoring system that includes shopping habits and friendships is often conflated with the former.
Brits are well accustomed to credit checks: data brokers such as Experian trace the timely manner in which we pay our debts, giving us a score that's used by lenders and mortgage providers. We also have social-style scores, and anyone who has shopped online with eBay has a rating on shipping times and communication, while Uber drivers and passengers both rate each other; if your score falls too far, you're out of luck.
China's social credit system expands that idea to all aspects of life, judging citizens' behaviour and trustworthiness. Caught jaywalking, don't pay a court bill, play your music too loud on the train — you could lose certain rights, such as booking a flight or train ticket. "The idea itself is not a Chinese phenomenon," says Mareike Ohlberg, research associate at the Mercator Institute for China Studies. Nor is the use, and abuse, of aggregated data for analysis of behaviour. "But if [the Chinese system] does come together as envisioned, it would still be something very unique," she says. "It's both unique and part of a global trend."

simile: Oh, Ophelia, you’ve been on my mind girl like a drug
-When an addict’s brain is hooked on a drug, often that drug is the only thing they can think about. The Lumineers use this simile to compare their love for a woman, Ophelia, to that of an addictive drug.
Hyperbole: He feels likes he's on top / And I don't feel no remorse / And you can't see past my blindness.
-The hyperbole is how he feels on top of the world. Because we all know we can't be on top of the world. While in the next phrases I feel as if he is indicating that we can't see past the blindness from all the remorse as a metaphor.
Repetition: Oh, Ophelia, heaven help a fool who falls in love
-This line provides a connotation that love is relatively negative because the person who is in love is a “fool” and needs “help”. “Oh, Ophelia” is also repeated frequently throughout the song to emphasize who the song is directed towards and alliteration is used in this phrase to make it catchy and flow nicely.
