Check out The National and Manchester Orchestra (bands that have been around for a bit but still here).

Bon Iver. Taylor Swift and her work with The National and Bon Iver.

Metal very often has metaphors. Example, Duality by Slipknot is a song that mostly has to do with Corey experiencing horrible Migraines and writing a song around that

OP asked about songs that are metaphors, and Duality fits that mold. At no point is the word headache or migraine used in the song, unlike "Friday" being the song title and the most commonly used lyric in the song. You do not have to like Slipknot if that ain't your jam. But I feel the song fits OP's request, and while yes, I am old and so is Slipknot, they still produce new shit.
