Abstract
This research focuses on the types and meanings of similes in the song lyrics of Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts album. A simile, which directly compares two things using connecting words like "like" or "as," enhances emotional expression and vividness in lyrics. By applying qualitative methods, the research analyze each song to identify simile occurrences, classify them by type, and interpret their meanings using Dancygier and Sweetser’s (2014) theory of simile and Griffiths' (2006) theory of meaning. Additionally, Spardley’s approach, including domain, taxonomic, componential, and cultural theme analyses, was used to interpret the data. The study identified twenty two similes, with twelve narrow-scope and ten broad-scope examples. It also found nineteen data of sender’s meaning and three data of utterance meaning, highlighting that narrow-scope similes and sender’s meaning are most prevalent in the album Keywords: Guts, Olivia Rodrigo, Simile
