What are some songs that have figurative language in them?

Answer 1

Song = Hard Day's Night - The Beatles

figure of speech = simile (comparison using like or as)

metaphor = It's been a hard day's night and I've been workin' like a dog.

Song = Eight Days a Week - The Beatles

figure of speech = hyperbole (greatly exaggerating to make a point)

Eight days a week, I love you

Song = Cry a River Over You, hyperbole

Song = Rock You Like a Hurricane - The Scorpions another example of simile

Song = (Your Love is Like ) Bad Medicine - simile

Answer 2

All songs with lyrics have poetic elements. This is the nature of music. The very earliest poetry was actually written to be sung. Below you can find some songs with lyrics that contributors believe to exemplify poetic quality:

• "Good Riddance" by Greenday
• "Drops of Jupiter" by Train
• "Land of Confusion" by Genesis and Disturbed
• Pretty much anything by Sting, the Police, the Eagles, Foreigner, Styx, Asia, etc.
• "Firework" by Katy Perry

Answer 3

WTF collective 2 - Jon Lajoie.

"I shake things up like J Fox when i get on the mic,

then i drop my enemies, just like Christopher Reeves Horse,

Then i put them to sleep, like Heath Ledger of course"

Highly offensive, as in the song its sung by " MC extremely inappropriate rhymes", but it is a use of similes.

Simile: Comparing two things using like, or as.
