The figurative language in this song creates a feeling of confidence and freedom. The first metaphor, and also symbolic figure, is, “When Rome’s in ruins, we are the lions, free of the coliseums.” During the Roman empire, the Romans would watch the Gladiators fight lions in a giant coliseum. When Rome was destroyed, the lions were free. This is also symbolic because the song’s title is, “Young Volcanoes”
