Metaphorically speaking is a turn of phrase that means that what has been said has not to be taken literally.

E.g. 'I was blown away by that performance metaphorically speaking'. The meaning of this sentence is not to be taken literally which would mean that the performance was an external force which lifted you away from the spot that you were in. It is meant to mean that the performance was amazing, surprised the listener but in a good way or even if you like wowed the listener.
