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.

Does payphone maroon 5 have a simile and a metaphor in it?

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.


Is sun a simile?
