In English, we had to find 2 songs that contain at least 1 simile and 2 other songs that contain at least 2 metaphors.
A simile is
a figure of speech that compares two things. Similes vary from metaphors by highlighting the similarities between two things that must use "like" and "as", while metaphors create a certain comparison.
One example of a simile in a song is Halo from Beyonce, in the lyrics, they say;
Hit me like a ray of sun,
Burning through my darkest night
You’re the only one that I won't\ think I’m addicted to your light.
"hit me like a ray of sun" is the simile in the song because it uses the word 'like' and she uses that sentence to describe her romantic partner entering her life, as he is the light in her darkness.

Another song that uses a simile is Money from Cardi B.
Lyrics;
Sweet like a honey bun, spit like a Tommy gun
Rollie a one of one, come get your mommy some.
She compares sweet to a honey bun and a spit to a Tommy gun,
She uses this sentence to represent herself, sweet yet powerful.
A song that uses a metaphor is Stir Fry by Migos.
Lyrics; Life is Monopoly,
go cop me some land and some property.
This is a metaphor because he refers to life as a monopoly game which we know life isn't a monopoly game, so we know this is a metaphor.
One last song that contains a metaphor is Lucid Dreams by Juice WRLD.
Lyrics:
You were made outta plastic, a fake was tangled up in your drastic ways
In here juice WRLD expresses his negative feelings towards a romantic partner, by saying "you were made out of plastic, fake" saying that she is artificial and she was probably not trusted.
