"Across the Universe"-The Beatles





Across the Universe sung by The Beatles is, to me, a very metaphorical song. One example of a metaphor is the very first line which says, "Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup. They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe." This line has both a simile and a metaphor. This song also features a lot of similes like the one that says, "Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns, it calls me on and on across the universe."
