met·a·phor [met-uh-fawr, -fer] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–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. See meta-, -phore]

How exactly is 'here it is quiet and much cooler than the house is / and there's no clocks or phones to wake us up' not a metaphor for something(Haven't examined all the lyrics so I don't know what)?

Finally, a signature that's chewy not chalky!

You see in the garden there typically isn't any phones or clocks hooked up, theres nothing metaphorical about that at all, there isn't a metaphor in that entire thing bit I quoted. Its imagery

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.
