All metaphors are figurative (cannot be interpreted literally). If you say 'Mary is a block of ice', you take it as meaning 'Mary is an unemotional, perhaps cruel, person'. So metaphor is a figure of speech where words (here, 'block of ice') have figurative meaning, that is mean something different than they literally say.
