One of the songs that I like, that never gets old to me is "Little Talks" by Of Monsters an Men. I love this song because it tells a deep emotional story and for the sake of this post, it have plenty of metaphors within in it. My favorite line consist of a metaphor, which is:
"The stairs creak as I sleep,
it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
Some days I can't even dress myself.
It's killing me to see you this way.
'Cause though the truth may vary
this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore."
The metaphor in this song is comparing the house to her lover. She sometimes fear the house( her lover) and can' t seem to trust him in a way that gets so bad that she cannot trust herself. She blames the house for her and her lovers problems to the point where she is up all night thinking about it, but instead of actually blaming the lover she thus, blames the house, because the house is creaking (making noise at night as the lover does coming in late nights). She is unsure of her lover, so she then becomes crazy, where she cannot dress herself. She believes that the house and the lover are two of the same.
