I don't think modern country even uses metaphors anymore. Before anyone comes at me, I'm well awair that there's some fantactic country writers out there.
That's because modern country is squarely focused on (far) right leaning people and they are utterly deaf, dumb and blind to any sort of metaphor, sarcasm and subtlety.
It's why these pricks go nuts for songs like Killing in the Name, not realizing it's a song that explicitly hates on them saying stuff like "some of those who work forces, are the same that BURN CROSSES".
They only see and hear that title and have no fucking clue what it and the rest of the song is actually about.
Also see: "Born in the USA".
It's always wise to satisfy the requests of time squirrels. Keeps them away from one's nuts.
