Answer 2

I was lost in a sea of nameless faces.

This example of a metaphor states that this person got lost in a sea that was filled with faces whose names they have no knowledge of. There is no such sea of unknown faces or faces as a matter of fact unless somebody is tripping on a pipe somewhere and went beyond their normal cognitive state. This metaphor means that the person is lost in a big place where there are many people that they do not know of.
