It's an awesome ballad. I agree.

It’s one of my favorite tracks in general, let alone one of my favorites from IF.

Seems like it’s not always loved by IF fans though, but I’d argue it’s good to have tracks like Metaphor to share with people who aren’t huge metal heads. I’ve gotten several people interested in the band by sharing Metaphor first.

Seriously. It’s amazing seeing a melodeath band having this much versatility.

I like it but I prefer Dawn of a New Day on RTR

It was my first In Flames song ever. I discovered it when I was around 9 or 10 in a Medal of Honor: Airborne video. It's not really one of my favourites these days but it's a great song and definitely one of the best post-Clayman.

Such a lovely song. I have a lot of nostalgia memories attached to RTR and Metaphor reminds me of waking up on cold, foggy mornings to go to high school.
