SIMILE and METAPHOR

Metaphor
One of the most commonly used language of speech that compares two things directly. 
i.e. a book is a portal to another world 

Simile
We often use this in our sentences unconsciously. Just like Metaphor, it also compares two things but using the words 'as' and 'like'. [Simile-sounds like similar]
i.e. Her skin as white as milk


Metaphor   and Simile
RED [Taylor Swift]
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn,
so bright just before they lose it all
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

But loving him was red
Loving him was red
Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong


YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE [Jimmi Davies]
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away


TITANIUM [DAVID GUETTA]

You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up
I'm bulletproof nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium, I am titanium, I am titanium, I am titanium


SPRING DAY [BTS]

I'm missing you 
And I don't know what to do 
I'm missing you 
These pictures just remind me of you I miss you
 And time is just so cruel I hate this trying to see you once, never worked out once 
Where do we find the chance? 
And it feels so cold like winter it's August and not December 
With my heart I walk alone across time, this train is a snow piercer 
Want to take you by the hand and forge across the other end of the earth
Tell me how much more should I long for you and pray for spring to come forth, friend 
Like little specks of dust 
Floating round in the air, floating round in the air 
If I was snow in the air, will I get to you even just a little bit faster?
 Snowflakes keep falling down
 They drift away further around I’m missing you, oh I miss you 
And how long do I have to wait How many sleepless nights, do I have to take?
 To finally see you, to meet you 
Passing by the edge of this winter 
At least until the change of the weather 
When spring comes and flowers bloom 
Just stay until then, please stay and wait a little more
