I can automatically take out apostrophe and metaphor so..

hyperbole: exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.
Metaphor: a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable
According to these definitions I would go with hyperbole, but I also don't have the context so I can't be sure...

Apostrophe is a figure of speech in which you are addressing somebody or something that is not physically near you.
A metaphor is a form of comparison. A symbol is a reference to something. Hyperbole is exaggeration.
