A metaphorâs a way to say the way a thing is seeming
Instead of saying âsmilingâ, you can say that one is âbeamingâ
And so make a comparison: that person is the sun
We know theyâre not, but we forgot how much they act like one
When you describe the beauty of the world as something more
You use a metaphor
A metaphor can help us to explain just what weâre feeling
It helps us share, enhances, without being too revealing
And in so doing we can see the truth below the bottom
We get to understand ourselves, thank metaphors weâve got âem
When you describe the beauty of the world as something more
You use a metaphor
Itâs a tasty song, but you canât eat it
Sheâs an open book, but you canât read it
Itâs a house of cards, but you donât live there
Itâs a dog eat dog world and youâve got milk bone underwear
A simileâs a comparison that uses âasâ or âlikeâ
A metaphor is similar, but goes straight for the mic
It loudly and directly says a thing is something else
A helpful lie it hopes will clarify the thing itself
When you describe the beauty of the world as something more
You use a metaphor
Itâs a tasty song, but you canât eat it
Sheâs an open book, but you canât read it
Itâs a house of cards, but you donât live there
Itâs a dog eat dog world and youâve got milk bone underwear
