comparison reflection

Metaphors and similes help give certain songs there own specific meaning. For example in the song "she's like a star" by Taoi Cruz, he says "she's the only one that i want by my side, shes the only one i believe can change my life she makes me want to be a better man, oh why?, shes higher than the sun the stars and the moon, shes like a star." Not only is this quote the chorus of the song but its the basic idea Taio is trying to get across. By him saying this he is over exaggerating how much she means to him. Usage of metaphors and similes and other poetic devices help artists get the point across to what they're trying to say easier then actually full out explaining it, to me thats what makes a song a good song, it amkes it fun and more meaningfull. Some artist use metaphors and similes to try and relate to the listener.
