Let’s look at more examples of similes in the different songs we listen to every day. So, if one says that watching the school play was like watching the grass grow, it means to say that the play is uneventful just like watching the grass grow. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike objects or things with the use of words, “like” and “as.” One common figure of speech that songwriters use is the simile.

In creating profound lyrics, songwriters make use of different figures of speech and other literary devices that bring color and life to the lyrics, instead of sounding like plain narrative text.

The lyrics of the song are what mainly express the message and the emotions the songwriter and producer want to relay.

Have you ever listened to a song and thought, “Wow, this has great lyrics!” Aside from the melody composing and track producing aspects in making a song another essential part of the process is writing lyrics. Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Pinterest Share on LinkedIn Share on Email
