Discussion #2: Figurative language in songs

The other day, I was listening to Katy Perry's Firework and I realized that the song contains a lot of figurative language.

For this week, introduce us to other song lyrics that contain similes and metaphors.

Instructions:
1. Think of a song that contains figurative language. Find it on YouTube and add the link.
2. In exactly five sentences, explain what the song is about.

Deadline: Friday, 5 pm

Quick writing tip: Including similes and metaphors are a great way to create more vivid descriptive essays.
