–noun 1. a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, as in “A mighty fortress is our God.” Compare mixed metaphor, simile (def. 1). 2. something used, or regarded as being used, to represent something else; emblem; symbol. [Origin: 1525–35; < L metaphora < Gk metaphorá a transfer, akin to metaphérein to transfer.

so he literally means that he and his lover will fall into the mud if it rains. Wow. And that he's actually talking about how it's much cooler outdoors than in the house? Well then, my bad I suppose I was wrong on the metaphors.

That's a weird thing to write about though. If it rains I'll sink into the mud? Honestly, that's either utter crap or a metaphor.
