Yes, the song "Heart-Shaped Box" by Nirvana contains several literary devices including similes, metaphors, personification, and imagery. Here are some examples:

Simile: "Throw down your umbilical noose, so I can climb right back" - This line compares the umbilical noose to a rope, using "like" or "as" to draw a comparison.

Metaphor: "Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet" - The line metaphorically compares "meat-eating orchids" to unforgiving entities or individuals.

Personification: "I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks" - The line personifies the heart-shaped box, implying that it has the ability to confine or trap someone.

Imagery: "She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak" - This line creates a vivid image of someone looking at the speaker with a particular intensity, drawing a comparison to the focused gaze of a Pisces.
