we often use food metaphors to describe the world of ideas. We devour a book, try to digest raw facts and attempt to regurgitate other people’s ideas, even though they might be half-baked.

When talking about relationships, we often use health metaphors. A friend might be involved in a sick relationship. Another might have a healthy marriage.

When talking about argument, we use war metaphors.
When talking about time, we often use money metaphors.
But when talking about money, we rely on liquid metaphors. We dip into savings, sponge off friends or skim funds off the top. Even the job title stockbroker derives from the French word brocheur, the tavern worker who tapped the kegs of beer to get the liquidity flowing.

“Guns And Horses”

You’re so quiet
But it doesn’t faze me
You’re on time
You move so fast, makes me feel lazy

Let’s join forces
We’ve got our guns and horses
I know you’ve been burned
But every fire is a lesson learned

I left my house
Left my clothes
Door wide open
Heaven knows
You’re so worth it, you are

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Maybe you’d feel the same
I’d do it all for you
I would [x4]

Let’s tie words
‘Cause they amount to nothing
Play it down
Pretend you can’t take what you’ve found
But you found me
On a screen you sit at permanently

I left my house
Left my clothes
Door wide open
Heaven knows
You’re so worth it, you are

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Maybe you’d feel the same
I’d do it all for you
I would [x4]

It’s time to come clean
And make sense of everything
It’s time that we found out who we are
Cause when I’m standing here in the dark
I see your face in every star

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Maybe you’d feel the same
I’d do it all for you
I would [x3]
I’d do it all for you, I’d do it all for you [x4],
