Metaphors and Similes

What are metaphors and similes?

Metaphors and similes are figures of speech. They are used to enhance and give more colors to our writing. When we write metaphor, it is the way we compare something but not literal on what is in the text and doesn't use "like" and "as". While similes, we use "like" and "as" to compare one thing to another.

Your Love by The Outfield

You're the one that never lets me sleep

Through my mind, down to my soul you touch my lips

You're the one that I can't wait to see

With you here by my side I'm in ecstasy

I am all alone without you

My days are dark without the glimpse of you

But now that you came into my life

I feel complete

The flowers bloom, my morning shines

And I can see

Your love is like the sun

That lights up my whole world

I feel the warmth inside

Your love is like the river

That flows down through my veins

I feel the chill inside

Every time I hear our music play

Reminds me of the things that we've been through

In my mind I can't believe it's true

But in my heart the reality is you

I am all alone without you

My days are dark without the glimpse of you

But now that you came into my life

I feel complete

The flowers bloom, my morning shines

And I can see

Your love is like the sun

That lights up my whole world

I feel the warmth inside

Your love is like the river

That flows down through my veins

I feel the chill inside

Your love is like the sun

That lights up my whole world

I feel the warmth inside

Your love is like the river

That flows down through my veins

I feel the chill inside

Ehu girl by Kolohe Kai

Said it happened last night about ten to eleven

when I first layed eyes on you,

Standing in line, into Club Triple seven

It was just like heaven and a dream come true,

We’re standing at the right place at the right time,

When you, this ehu girl, caused the crime.

You’re my pretty little ehu girl who made me a fool in love,

You got my heart all in a whirl and now it needs cooling off,

You set my heart on fire and now I don’t know what to do,

You set my heart on fire and now I’m so in love with you my ehu girl

Said I’m feeling it now, something I’ve never felt,

My hearts so hot I think I’m gonna melt,

Somehow, I want to see you again

My love, sent from above.

And beautiful girls yes I’ve seen a few,

but out of all the beauty in the world there’s no one quite like you.

My ehu girl

The way your ehu hair flows in the air,

The way your shining eyes reflect the sky,

The way your smile burns up my flame,

But I don’t know your name and I guess I’ll call you my
