Metaphors & Allegories from Favorite Imperfections by Dan Vaillancourt

Metaphors & Allegories – February 20, 2021

"Is there any wisdom you have for me...
For dealing with these thoughts of grief?"
You said, “Every window is just a door to a thief.”

"You can lock all of your doors
Swallow your only key
No matter what you do, they're going to get in"

CHORUS:
I said, “I don't really know what that all means?”
I appreciate your metaphors and allegories
But I'm not sure they make as much sense as you think?
But maybe they do?

Advice a wise man once told me
Well, technically it was a wise woman
She said, “you sleep in the bed that you make.”

"So, make sure your corners are tight
And have a pillow you like
And make sure to wash your sheets regularly."

"Sometimes you need to figure out
Appropriate machinery to push them out
A bulldozer or front-loader for your mind

Once upon a time, a long time ago
I sought truth and all I know
You can catch a glimpse in rhymes and parables"

Even when you are not really sure what they mean
You can find some truth in similes, metaphors and allegories
Yeah, I guess that makes some sense to me?
I mean, maybe it's true.
