what is a song that has a metaphor in it?

Answer 1

Wild Honey by U2

The first verse and chorus goes...

In the days
When we were swinging form the trees
I was a monkey
Stealing honey from a swarm of bees

I could taste
I could taste you even then
And I would chase you down the wind

You can go there if you please
Wild honey
And if you go then go with me
Wild honey

Its a pretty groovy song ;-)

Answer 2

The term metaphor meant in Greek "carry something across" or "transfer," which suggests many of the more elaborate definitions below:
a comparison between two things, based on resemblance or similarity, without using "like" or "as"
most dictionaries and textbooks.-

"the act of giving a thing a name that belongs to something else"
Aristotle

"the transferring of things and words from their proper signification to an improper similitude for the sake of beauty, necessity, polish, or emphasis"
Diomedes

"a device for seeing something in terms of something else"
Kenneth Burke

"understanding and experiencing one thing in terms of another"
John Searle

"a simile contracted to its smallest dimensions"
Joseph Priestly

(you can find several song examples by listening to THE DOORS,BOB DYLAN,LEONARD COHEN & PINK FLOYD)
