Song that has Metaphors And Similes

"Stitches" by Shawn Mendes

This song began its ascent onto the charts in June 2015. Shawn Mendes is quoted as explaining, "The whole video is me getting beaten up by this thing that you can't see..."

Lyrics:

"Just like a moth drawn to a flame

Oh, you lured me in, I couldn't sense the pain

Your bitter heart cold to the touch

Now I'm gonna reap what I sow

I'm left seeing red on my own"

"My Heart's a Stereo" - Maroon 5

The title of Maroon 5's song, "My Heart's a Stereo," is a metaphor, and this lyric is repeated multiple times for emphasis:

Lyrics:

"My heart's a stereo

It beats for you so listen close"

¨Cheerleader¨- Omi (Felix Jaehn Remix)

While it is quite plain and straightforward, there metaphorical pieces as well. But I'm empty when you're gone is a metaphor. The speaker is not literally empty, they just feel bad or whatever, since emptiness is often considered negative (empty bottle, empty wallet, empty fridge etc.) and when one is left by a presson they like they also feel bad.

Lyrics:

The first verse goes

When I need motivation

My one solution is my queen

'Cause she stays strong

Yeah, yeah

She is always in my corner

Right there when I want her

All these other girls are tempting

But I'm empty when you're gone

And they say
