This research is based on the study which attempted to analyze metaphor
in the second album of Secondhand Serenade and its meaning. The main
purposes of the study were to elaborate on the metaphor used in the lyrics
and its meaning in the songs of Secondhand Serenade’s second album.
This study is qualitative research. There are two types of data in this
research. The first data is all the lyrics that contain metaphor, and the
second data is the meaning of the lyrics in every song. To collect the data,
the total sampling technique was applied.
The result of the analysis shows that there are 75 metaphors from lyrics
found in Secondhand Serenade’s songs. The first types are structural
metaphor withe the total 37 metaphor. The second types are orientational
metaphor with the total 5 metaphor. The third types are ontological
metaphor with 33 metaphor. The types of structural metaphors are the
most frequently used in the song lyrics. The meaning of metaphors is also
revealed from the analysis process which shows the circumstances of his
love story, from falling in love, being in a good and bad relationship, and
also the break-up.
It is expected that this study can provide a comprehensive understanding
of how important. The result of the study is also expected to trigger
another researcher in creating similar research with different objects.
