September 11, 200817 yr That is a metaphor, i.e. a form of figurative language. It isn't necessarily comparing anything, though. I guess it could be construed as figurative in most cases, but by pure technical definition of metaphor and simile, nay. Or neigh. If you're into horses. Also, I really shouldn't even try to argue with you over English. Caliente? catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream
September 11, 200817 yr Wait, are you talking about a line in "Inside the Fire" by Disturbed? And yes it is a metaphor. To the above poster. It is comparing her to a "lost soul", therefore I believe it is a metaphor. [software Engineer] - [Ability Bar Suggestion] - [Gaming Enthusiast]

It is a direct comparison by referring to the subject ('she') as something else, therefore, a metaphor. Varrock Library: Shattered Sky | Silent Thunder | The Emperor's FinestAstri @ MythWeavers
September 11, 200817 yr What is this Homework help? Because if it is I need help in my Geometry >.> also isn't the 's in She's mean is? Wongton is better than me in anyway~~
September 11, 200817 yr What is this Homework help? Because if it is I need help in my Geometry >.> also isn't the 's in She's mean is? Does that make a difference? "It is the East, and Juliet is the Sun--" ^Quote that I probably screwed up, but a metaphor nonetheless. Or did you just point that out randomly? Ah well. But I don't want to go among mad people!Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here..."
September 11, 200817 yr "Lost soul" would be an idiom. It's a form of figurative langage where the meaning can't be deduced from the literal meanings of the words alone. For example, when it's "raining cats and dogs", cats and dogs aren't literally falling from the sky. I'm pretty sure the entire phrase taken together is a metaphor, as Zonorhc said.
