MEANINGS OF METAPHORICAL EXPRESSION IN 5 SECOND OF SUMMER SONGS

A metaaphor is a figure of speech that applies a statement to an untrue concept.
Figurative language is frequently used in songs since the lyrics are skillfully written. The goals of this study are to identify the many sorts of metaphors found in 5 Second of Summer song lyrics and to interpret each metaphor's intended
meaning. In this study, descriptive analysis and qualitative methods were combined to provide an analytical description of the research issue. Using George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (1980), the metaphor in a song by 5 Second of Summer
was examined. According to the findings of this study, the structural metaphor by Lakoff is more prevalent than the total collection of conceptual metaphors in the
lyrics of 5 Second of Summer songs. By swapping out the term concept for a different concept from a well-known structural metaphor, the meaning of the metaphor in these songs often refers to the feelings, the singer, or anything else.
The research has implications for understanding and appreciating the metaphorical element in common language as well as the pedagogical element.
