A simile is a comparison between two things, usually using the words "like" or "as." You can make just about any comparison you want, so long as it makes sense. You could say that death is like sleep, or that it is as cruel as winter - however you think of death.
as dead as a doornail
as dead as a doorstep x:)
yes
A really good one is "dead as a doornail".
In the poem Frost tells his readers a story about finding a white spider sitting on a white flower. In the spider's arms is a white moth, which is dead. Using the simile 'dead wings carried like a paper kite' he describes what the dead moth looks like to him. It looks like a paper kite being carried by somebody.
It is actually an idiom.

simile,paradox etc.
It has a metaphor, but not a simile. The whole theme of the song is a metaphor. Being stuck at a payphone, trying to reach her, but not having any money because he spent it on her is a metaphor for being stuck in the past, not able to reach her, and him being emotionally spent. A simile is a "like" or "as" comparison, and Payphone doesn't have a simile in the lyrics.
nope In order to be a simile, you must have two items being compared using the words "like" or "as". "Sun" is not being compared to anything in your example.
