Figuratively means metaphorically, and literally describes something that actually happened. If you say that a guitar solo literally blew your head off, your head should not be attached to your body. But they're also going to create literally a tidal wave of data.
Figurative language is describing one thing in terms of another. A metaphor is a type of figurative language that compares two things by asserting one thing is another. Metaphors are used to make clearer descriptions and provide better understanding to the reader. However, an implied metaphor is a metaphor that doesn't explicitly state the comparison.
