Abstract

Music and lyrics are integral to the art world, where their essence lies in the arrangement of sounds over time. Yet, many listeners may not fully appreciate the deeper meanings within lyrics. This thesis investigates how Jason Mraz's album Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride uses figurative language to convey profound themes and messages. The aim is to show that beyond enjoying the music, audiences can gain insights into themes like love and the journey of life. Figurative language, which employs literary techniques to convey implied meanings rather than literal ones, adds depth and nuance to a work. This study identifies and examines the types of figurative language in Mraz's lyrics and their prevalence. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the research analyzes the lyrics from the June 2023 album, following four steps: categorizing data based on Perrine's (1977) theory, analyzing the data, reviewing the lyrics and their meanings, and drawing conclusions. The analysis reveals various figurative elements, including simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, metonymy, understatement, and irony, with metaphor being the most common. These elements convey different meanings, with connotative meaning being the most dominant among them.
