Which song has lyric with metaphor / simile?

Question

I need a song lyric with metaphor / simile for my English class...
Since I usually don't listen to any music, I can't find one with metaphor / simile.
Would anyone give me Title / Lyric and why it's metaphor/ simile?

Answer 1

You're like a Sunday mornin', pleasin' my eyes;
You're a midsummer's dream under a star-soaked sky.
That peaceful easy feelin' at the end of a long, long road.
You're like coming home;
You're like coming home, all right.


This is from Lonestar's You're Like Coming Home. The lines that say You're Like... are similies because they use the word like to compare two things. (similies use the words "like" or "as" to compare two things). The line that says, You're a midsummer's dream.. is a metaphor because it is comparing You to a midsummer's dream. Metaphors compare two things by saying one thing is another.

Hope this helps! Goodluck :)

Answer 2

This is a good simile song.

"Love Is Like Oxygen" - by Sweet

Time on my side
I got it all
I've heard that pride
Always comes before a fall
There's a rumour goin' round the town
That you don't want me around
I can't shake off my city blues
Everyway I turn I lose

Chorus
Love is like oxygen
You get too much you get too high
Not enough and you're gonna die
Love gets you high

Time is no healer
When you're not there
Lonely fever
Sad words in the air
Some things are better left unsaid
I'm gonna spend my days in bed
I'll walk the streets at night
To be hidden by the city lights city lights

Too Young to Fall In Love by Motley Crue


"...You say our love is like dynamite!!.."
"...open your eyes, it's like fire and ice.."
"...your love's a golliutine.."

i guess that's two similes and one metaphor in one song...it's easy to find one

Answer 4

any onsg by The Used is usually a good one.


or... The Alkaline Trio- Radio-... "Shaking like a dog shittin razorblades waking up next to nothing..." thats a good one.
