Figurative Language: Metaphors in songs

As a way of learning what a metaphor is, we listened to parts of some songs that contained metaphors.  We looked at some of the lyrics that created images in our minds, after thinking carefully about the words being used.  We have now learned that metaphors are phrases that compare two things together without using the words 'like or as.'  The comparisons  are usually one image to another.

We then looked for our own examples of metaphors from songs we found on the internet.
