The setting is in a kingdom by the sea. The repeated literary devices in this poem are idioms.

Goodbye My Lover’ This song tells a story‚ in fact the artist‚ James Blunt‚ says that it’s based on a relationship he was in with an ex-lover. He said that "she meant nothing" to him; but the lyrics and the emotion he sings with begs to differ. It’s set up like most songs‚ using the a-a-b-b rhyme scheme‚ but the way he personifies things and allows the reader to actually "see" what he’s singing about.
