Can anyone point out the poetic devices in the song "fragile" by sting? i only found a simile and metaphor

Angry star is personification because stars aren't angry...the writer gave this human characteristic to the star. i guess the "like tears from a star" is the simile you are talking about, but it is also personification, since stars don't actually cry. you could take any of the deeper lines and claim they appeal to your senses, so they are sensory images.
