As i was listening to the music, i find our(human) unique ability to compare things to explain more attributes of an objects. For eg. "Your eyes are like fish". Metaphor is not only used in Poems and songs, it is used in every aspect of our life. I believe metaphor is a very important tool humans developed to compare things and also to convey the thoughts to other person more effectively. If we have developed Memories first, then comparing things like "Metaphor" should have evolved second. Only after this we should have got the "Consiousness". Metaphor should be the bridge that connected our memory-ancestor to evolve consiousness.

Yep, I agree with you on importance of metaphors. They are like patterns in which we think.
