Pedant alert! 
I'd characterize "the silent freeway" within the context of the song as a euphemism. It's been said that they mean the transport of the soul to the afterlife. I don't really know. Let's just say for illustrative purposes that it is euphemism for death. Death is the silent freeway... may be a better example of a metaphor. They have the same meaning, but they are different figures of speech.
The title of 07 is a good example of a simile. There may be a metaphor in the lyrics, but I'm too lazy to look. The others don't provide the phrase fitting the theme, so...
Language arts is certainly not my forte, so I may be incorrect. My intentional hypocrisy will hopefully be seen as good fun.
I'll pick one now.

Pedant alert!
When I picked the long road out of Eden, I thought mailnly on the title, but for me, the song is the long we out of a civilized society, away from normal human ethics and moral, away from culture, well behaviour and into a world built on materialism, egoism, putinism, trumpism, bidenism, fake news, everyone to himself ....
(Could have picked Krylya/Wings by Nautilus, which is much about the same but on a very personal scale or even Eto/Vcyo/This Is All by DDT which is about the feelings when a very loved one dies.)
Although there are notable exceptions, song titles are generally derived from the song's lyrics.
There are several types of figurative language usages in English, and all get used extensively in poetry and song lyrics. Where would rock and roll be without euphemisms? In fact, the term rock and roll began as a euphemism for sex.
