An example of a song that contains an extended metaphor is "Daisy" by Brand New. The first stanza is
"I'm a mountain that has been moved
I'm a river that is all dried up
I'm an ocean nothing floats on
I'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in
I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot
I'm a moon that never shows it's face
I'm a mouth that doesn't smile
I'm a word that no one ever wants to say."
The speaker is making a comparison to ironic things. He is basically saying that the good quality that he possesses turned into a bad one.
Another song is "One Trillion Dollars" by Anti-Flag. In the line "And all the people are just dust on the ground" the comparison is to people to dust. It is basically saying that they are nothing.
