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.
First of all, we say ARE there any metaphors on the song? Then we look for one thing being called another, the clouds for example are called a daisy chain. Hey what's a metaphor anyway? Is there? What a maroon!
No. A simile is saying something is LIKE something else using the words 'like' or 'as' e.g; 'her eyes were as green AS grass' or 'my love is LIKE a red, red rose.'
it means the world would be one without any possession, government and religion.
Hot Air Balloon is just a cute little song about Adam and a girl building/taking a ride in a hot air balloon. I don't think there is any deep meaning behind the song, it's just for fun :)

any comparative word is used in a simile but not a metaphor
any comparative word is used in a simile but not a metaphor
Any comparison that uses like or as is a simile. Otherwise it is a metaphor. Like a giant bird flapping its wings, the airplane flew over the field. Simile. The airplane accelerated down the runway and with a mighty leap the giant bird flew into the sky. Metaphor
That phrase is a simile because you used like. Any comparison using like or as is a simile. "He was as big as a mountain" is a simile. You could make it a metaphor by saying Jenny's voice is a bird singing a beautiful song. :D
it is neither actually. (: it doesn't fit in any literary devices.
a metaphor doesn't use any specific words, But a metaphor can not use the words "like" or "as". If "like" or "as" is used, it's a simile. A Metaphor is "something used to represent something else" or "A comparison between two things, without using like or as". For example: "life is a journey" - This is a metaphor because it is comparing Life to a Journey, and does NOT use like or as.
"His anger boiled over like a volcano" (simile) "The house was a fortress, protecting its residents" (metaphor) "Time crept by at a snail's pace" (personification) "The silence was a heavy blanket, smothering any noise" (metaphor) "His laughter filled the room like music" (simile)

Alliteration. Day, Dark,DrearyMetaphor. Comparing the speakers life to the rainy day.
Yes, the song "Love Story" by Taylor Swift contains several poetic devices. These include simile, metaphor, alliteration, and imagery to convey the story of forbidden love and create a vivid emotional landscape for the listener.
In figures of speech, it is important to underline the use of language beyond its literal meaning. Look for expressions that add meaning, imagery, or emphasis through the use of metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, irony, or other rhetorical devices. Also, pay attention to any shifts in language or unexpected comparisons that highlight the author's intent or deeper message.
