Uh, Ben, perhaps if you'd read more than 45 books in your life you'd have a better capacity to create good metaphors.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Ye all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind.
- Prospero, William Shakespeare's
The Tempest, Act IV, Scene I
