Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify the types of metaphors present in Henry Moodie's song lyrics and to interpret their meanings. The research employs qualitative methods, using a descriptive analysis approach to answer the research questions through analytical description. The metaphors in Henry Moodie's songs are analyzed using the framework of George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (1980). To interpret the meaning of the metaphors, the researcher refers to George Yule's theory (2010). The findings indicate that structural metaphors are more dominant than orientational metaphors in Moodie's lyrics. The meanings of these metaphors often reflect the singer's personal anxieties related to his partner, with abstract concepts being replaced by structural metaphors that are not easily understood. The research emphasizes the importance of recognizing and appreciating metaphorical elements in both everyday language and educational contexts. Keywords: conceptual metaphor, lyrics, song.
