You live your life like a simile as a metaphor for you.

One Man and a Digital Synth Ninja. The style is electronic pop, with a light rock ethic. Songs are silly and fun for the most part, because music can be fun t
Fall of Byzantium is: Brigham Toskin Ryu Hayabusa and collide This is an electronic style of poppy music, with a light rock n roll ethic. The idea is that music doesn't always have to have a deep message. Sometimes it's just fun to play upbeat music and listen to nonsensical little stories. And shake yo bootay.

Story behind the song
I just wanted to write clever lyrics that sorta played around with symantics and the parts of speach.
Lyrics
Your similes are like metaphors But your metaphor's askew You live your life like a simile As a metaphor for you And now your life is like a song Over compensating for something gone wrong Your laughing is ecstatic and your cigarettes are dear You say that you're happy but your smile's insincere And you didn't get your cookie now But maybe someday soon you will So sing yourself a chocolate peanutbutter dream So sing yourself a chocolate peanutbutter dream Life is like a small, irate, iranian man Waiting at a bus stop Standing in the rain trying to hide his head Under a wet newspaper Life is like a simile, but never like itself I'll command compliance to my complaints And compare Life to everything else Your similes are like metaphors But your metaphor's askew You live your life like a simile As a metaphor for you You live your life like a slave Forced to do what another dictates You can't do what you want now the situation's grim Every waking moment on another person's whim So it's nine o'clock and it's time for bed Your mother tucks you in and kisses your forehead You want to stay up but your eyelids feel like lead You want to stay up but your eyelids feel like lead Life is like the backseat of a volkswagon That needs to be upholstered And smells faintly like a rotten slice of ham From the previous owner Life is like a simile, but never like itself I'll command compliance to my complaints And compare Life to everything else
