Answer 2

Its a Hyperbole :)

It's not a simile because it's not comparing anything
It's not alliteration because the there isn't a pattern in the first letter of the words
It's not personification because it's not saying that an unhuman thing is doing human-like actions.
So it's hyperbole for sure.
