Metaphor
Discovering Love's Symbolism: Metaphor by Marlon Funaki
Lyrics
Light up a cigarette
Starting an action that offers a temporary escape or distraction
Tell me your favorite song when it's old
Asking about a personal preference regarding a song that has aged
Glass of chardonne
Having a glass of chardonnay, possibly indicating a relaxed or celebratory mood
Baby we have all night long
Having plenty of time together
Ooh
Expressing pleasure or excitement
Aah
Expressing satisfaction or contentment
What are you waiting for
Prompting action or questioning a delay
You are my metaphor
Referring to the person as a metaphor, implying deeper symbolic meaning
You don't hate this world
Not harboring hatred towards the world
Your just mad at your mother
Suggesting the person's frustration or anger towards their mother
So much time on your phone
Spending excessive time on a mobile device
Go spend time withcha brother
Encouraging spending time with a sibling
Ooh
Expressing pleasure or excitement
Aah
Expressing satisfaction or contentment
What are you waiting for
Prompting action or questioning a delay
You are my metaphor
Reiteration of the person being likened to a metaphor
Mistaking my name when I'm around
Someone confusing the speaker's identity
Had me confused for another
Mistaken identity, thinking the speaker is someone else
So in love with you
Expressing deep affection for the person
Please can I be your lover
Requesting to be the person's romantic partner
Ooh
Expressing pleasure or excitement
Aah
Expressing satisfaction or contentment
What are you waiting for
Prompting action or questioning a delay
You are my metaphor
Reiteration of the person being likened to a metaphor
Ooh
Expressing pleasure or excitement
ooh ooh ooh ooh
Repeating the vocalization of excitement
What are you waiting for
Prompting action or questioning a delay
You are my metaphor
Reiteration of the person being likened to a metaphor
Ooh
Expressing pleasure or excitement
Aah
Expressing satisfaction or contentment
What are you waiting for
Prompting action or questioning a delay
You are my metaphor
Reiteration of the person being likened to a metaphor
Ooh
Expressing pleasure or excitement
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Repeating the vocalization of excitement
what are you waiting for
Prompting action or questioning a delay
You are my metaphor
Reiteration of the person being likened to a metaphor
