Read the section "Believer By Imagine Dragons."
qaws [65]

Explanation:

Being told what the song is about, helps the reader understand the lyrics.

Because the reader is told what the song is about, we know what the lyrics mean. The lyrics reinforce what the song is about, like how a simile reinforces what a passage is about. Think about this: If an author wrote, "The man was as brave as a lion,", instead of, "The man was brave", this is a much better choice of words.

Similarly to the passage, by using similes in the lyrics to better emphasize overcoming emotional and physical pain, the song helps the reader understand better the message of the song.

Answer:

So, by reading the section, the reader understands that a simile is about two things being compared to one another, like how the song compares physical pain to a choking rain of ashes.
