In this video from Berklee Online’s Lyric Writing 2 course, course author Erin Chase discusses three types of metaphors: qualifying, verbal, and expressed identities. She also demonstrates how these different types of metaphors function in song lyrics. Qualifying metaphors use modifiers, such as adjectives or adverbs, to reshape how we imagine an action or idea (e.g., “chemical love” or “bitterly drifting”). Verbal metaphors place a noun into a verb relationship, allowing abstract ideas to act or be acted upon (e.g., “this grief destroys me”). Expressed identities equate one noun with another (e.g., “my grandmother is the church of our family history”). Chase explains that each type creates meaning by bringing together ideas that don’t normally belong together, adding depth and emotional resonance to lyrics.
