What is a metaphor? To me, I think metaphors are a way to talk about one thing by describing something else like "there's an elephant in the room" this doesn't mean that there an elephant in the room. What this metaphor is describing is a tense feeling in the room.
What is a simile? Similes are like "sweet as honey" it is making a comparison is what simile mean to me.
Here are 2 songs that contain metaphors and similes
