A. MEANING OF SONGS
Music is an amazing thing. The right inspiring lyrics, or motivational songs can give
you a kick in the backside ; provides a quick pick me up to motivate you to
accomplish your goals ; or just a reminder about appreciating the beauty of the
world that we live in and provides that little lift that we occasionally need.
Read the song lyric on page 264 or read this !

Brian McKnight
Dark is the night
I can battle the storm
Never say die
Never say give up
I've been down this road before
I'll never quit
I'll never lay down, mm
See I promised myself that I'd never let me down
(1) I'll never give up
Never give in
Never let a ray of doubt slip in
And if I fall
I'll never fail
I'll just get up and try again

Never lose hope

Never lose faith
There's much too much at stake
Upon myself I must depend

I'm not looking for place ashore

I'm gonna win
No stopping now
There's still a ways to go, oh
Someway, somehow
Whatever it takes, I know
I'll never quit, no no
I'll never go down, mm, mm
I'll make sure they remember my name
A hundred years from now

When it’s all said and done
My once in a lifetime will be back again
Now it’s the time
To make a stand
Here is my chance
That’s why I…

Discuss with your friend about the song then tell the implied messages of the song !

HOW TO FIGURE OUT A SONG MEANING

1. Listen to the song while reading the lyrics. Pull the lyrics up online to make sure
you're not mishearing any of them. For now, just focus on your first impressions. What do
you think the song is about? What parts confuse you, and what parts seem perfectly clear?
There are no wrong answers, as your first impressions help decide the feel and theme of
the song.[1]

 What is the overall mood of the song?

 How do the lyrics match up with the instruments? Do they have a similar feel or are
they conflicting with each other?

2. Read the lyrics on their own to decipher their meaning. Great lyrics are a form of
poetry, and reading them without the distraction of instruments can help you parse out
their intent. When reading the question, ask yourself the same questions you might ask
about a poem:
 Who is the speaker? Don't just assume that the speaker is literally the singer -- they
could be playing a character or referencing a larger issue.
 If there is a "you" or a "we" in the song, who does this refer to? A lover? A friend? A
politician?
 What are the major images or ideas that keep popping up.

3. Focus on concrete imagery and senses. Good lyrics have a "visual" component as
well. They describe a scene or feeling with images, not just vague ideas or phrases. If
you were making a movie of the song, what are the images that keep cropping up? By
visualizing the song as a scene, do any of the most confusing lines start to make sense?

34
 BING – 3.7 /4.7/6/1.1

 Where does the song take place? This could be a very specific location, like Kent
State in Neil Young's "Ohio," or something vaguer, like a girl's bedroom in Tailor
Swift's "Love Story."
 "New Slang" by The Shins starts with the line "Gold teeth and a curse for this town
were all in my mouth // only I don't know how they got out, dear." This may seem
confusing, but later lyrics show that he was being rude at a bar. He got punched in
the face for saying his "curse."

4. Unpack unusual or poetic phrases one at a time. Metaphors and figurative

language are when the words don't literally mean what they say. When Bob Dylan
suggests that "the answers, my friend, are blowing in the wind," he doesn't actually
mean the answers are flying in a breeze. He means that the answers are simple and all
around us if we just take the time to stop and look. When faced with unusual sections,
ask yourself if they may stand for something other than what they appear.
 Look for comparisons and commonality. Most metaphors aren't perfect, they simply
draw a simple line between two things. "My love is a rose" doesn't necessarily mean
a woman is red, slender, etc. It likely means she is beautiful but also dangerously
thorny.
 Search online for images or ideas you don't understand. They may come from
movies, other songs, old myths, etc.
5. Remember that there is rarely one "right" meaning. The Eagle's "Hotel California"
is one of the most debated songs of all time, because so many people have so many
interpretations of it. Some think it references the music industry, which traps you
with promises of wealth. Others think the hotel is a gateway to Hell, trapping
wayward sinners. A few believe it is just a fictional story of a dangerous place. None of
them are totally wrong and none are totally right.
 What is most important is that you can defend your position with evidence from
the song. As long as you can back up your meaning with actual lyrics or stories, it is
a valid meaning.
 Most artists will even admit that they don't know the song's full meaning. Writing
lyrics can be subconsciousness, and the meaning people get from listening to a
song is just as important as the meaning when writing it.

6. Check a lyric annotation site for additional clues. Sites like Genius.com allow
anyone to annotate lyrics with interpretations, explanations, and definitions of each
line. Even better, the actual lyricists often write their own notes on the site, which
are labeled and verified to help you understand more oblique lyrics.

 Try out SongMeanings, SongFacts, and LyricInterpretations, as well.

 Note, however, that you don't have to agree with every annotation put up by other
people. These sites are great places to start breaking down complex sections,
however.

B. TYPES OF SONGS
Sorting out the types of songs according to definite factors is really difficult , as
songs can be classified into many different and random categories.
Classical

Famous composers like Mozart wrote classical music. Classical music is often performed
by an orchestra (large group of musicians), a choir (a group of singers) or a soloist (just
one person). People usually say a ‘piece’ of classical music rather than a ‘tune’ or ‘song’.

Jazz and blues

Jazz and blues were both originally from the USA. Jazz has a strong rhythm and notes are
often syncopated (come between beats). The melody can be improvised (invented while
it is played) and uses a wide range of different scales. Charlie Parker and Miles Davis are
famous jazz artists. Blues is a style of music famous for being sad. The lyrics often share
stories from the tough lives of the people who write blues songs.
36
 BING – 3.7 /4.7/6/1.1

Folk

Folk music is the traditional music of a particular group of people. In record stores, it’s
common to see folk music from the UK and the USA. Country music is probably the most
famous kind of folk music and is popular in many parts of the world.

Pop

Every country in the world has its own pop stars. ‘Pop’ is short for ‘popular’ music and it
means just that – it is the most popular or common form of music in most countries.
Wherever you go in the world, it’s easy to hear music from famous pop stars like
Madonna or Lady Gaga whether you want to or not!

Rock

Rock music is famous for being loud! Rock groups use electric guitars, bass and drums to
create music with a strong beat and lots of energy. There are lots of sub-genres (styles) of
rock such as metal, punk and prog-rock. With so many different styles of rock to choose
from, no wonder it is so popular!

Dance

Dance music is the kind of music you usually hear in clubs and bars. It has a strong beat,
is often repetitive, and is perfect for dancing to. Like rock, there are many different styles
of dance music. Some are slow, some are fast, but they will all get you feet moving!

Rap

Rap is different to most music genres in that it is usually spoken, not sung. The words
rhyme, like a poem, and fit to the strong beat of the backing music.

Alternative

If the music you like doesn’t fit one of these categories, it is probably ‘alternative’. Music
might be called ‘alternative’ because only a small group of people like it or because it
doesn’t fit well into another category. The alternative section of a record store is often
where you will find the most unusual, interesting music.

So, what is your favourite music genre and what kind of music person are you?

PORTOFOLIO
1. Find four songs lyrics in different types of music genre on music magazine or internet !
2. Analyze the meaning of those songs !

C. FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE ON SONG LYRICS

The term figurative language refers to any language used in a non literal way. The
two most common types of figurative language are simile and methapor.
Personification and hyperbole are two other forms of figurative language.

( Read on BukuTeksPelajaran (.BahasaInggrisuntukSMA/MA/SMK/ Kelas XII .

Jakarta: MEDIATAMA2015 page 271-273 )

My heart will go on – Celine Dion

Every night in my dreams

I see you, I feel you…
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime…
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on

The above lines use hyperbole in the line ‘near far, wherever you are…’. The songwriter
exaggerates the way to illustrate the main character’s presence to the listeners. At the
beginning of the song ‘Every night in my dream I see you I feel you’, the writer
uses imagery to create a visual impact of the singer’s dream and her beloved. ‘Love’ is
personified in the lines ‘love can touch us one time’.

Move Like Jagger – Ben Minadeo

Just shoot for the stars if it feels right

And aim for my heart if you feel like it…
Kiss me ’til you’re drunk and I’ll show you all the moves like Jagger
I’ve got the moves like Jagger

In the above lines, the singer uses the simile in ‘I’ve got the moves like Jagger’. Here the
singer is comparing his dancing skills with Mick Jagger’s because Mick Jagger is known for
a unique dancing style. There is also consonance and assonance in ‘Ay AyAyAaay’ and “Oh
yeah oh”, with the sounds of /a/ and /y/. The hyperbole is used in the line, ‘Kiss me till
your drunk’, which is an exaggeration. People get drunk from drinking too much alcohol.

Let It Go – Idina Menzel

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight

Not a footprint to be seen…
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I’ve tried…
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore.

At the beginning of the song, the singer has used hyperbole. For example, ‘The snow glows
white on the mountain tonight’. In reality, snow doesn’t glow. We can see
the personification and simile in the following lines ‘The wind is howling like the swirling
storm inside’. Here the wind is personified and it is compared by a wolf’s howl.

Skyscraper – Demi Lovato

38
 BING – 3.7 /4.7/6/1.1

Skies are crying, I am watching

Catching teardrops in my hands…

You can break everything I am

Like I’m made of glass
Like I’m made of paper

The entire song is an extended metaphor of struggle and overcoming. Here the singer has
used oxymoron in the line ‘its long way down, but I am closer to the clouds up, here’. The
writer has used two opposites ‘up and down’ in the same verse. In the lines, ‘Skies are
crying’, skies are personified. In the verse ‘you can break everything I am, like I’m made of
glass’, has a simile. Here the singer is comparing herself to glass and a piece of paper to
show her vulnerability.

Here some types of figurative languages :

 Alliteration - Alliteration helps writers punch points home by repeating the same
sound (usually a consonant) of the first or second letter in a series of words. It tends to
catch the reader's eye.
The professor praised his pupil's flowery prose.
 Hyperbole - When a writer exaggerates something - typically in a humorous way -
it's known as hyperbole.
My eyes widened at the sight of the mile-high sundaes that were brought to our table.
 Metaphor - A metaphor is a comparison between two things. They don't necessarily
have to be alike, but they should make a link in the reader's mind.
Nobody invites Edward to parties because he is a wet blanket.
 Personification - When something non-human is given human-like qualities, this is
known as personification.
The leaves danced in the wind on the cold October afternoon.
 Simile - A simile is a direct comparison between two things, using like or as.
Jamie runs as fast as the wind.
 Symbolism - Symbolism occurs when something that has one meaning is used to
represent something entirely different. For example, using an image of the American flag
to represent patriotism.
The man proudly flew his flag on the 4th of July.

Other Figurative Language Definitions

Let's dig a little deeper. Figurative language may also include unusual constructions or
word combinations to provide a new perspective. Here are some examples:

 Assonance - Assonance occurs when you repeat a vowel sound in a phrase.

True, I do like Sue.
 Cliché - A cliché is a phrase that is repeated so often, it's nearly meaningless.
Try walking a mile in my shoes.
 Idiom - An idiom is an expression used by a group of people with a meaning that
can only be understood through common usage.
I'm waiting for him to kick the bucket. (Many idioms are also considered clichés.)
 Metonymy - Metonymy is a figure of speech where one word is replaced with a
word that's closely associated with it. For example, you might hear Washington used to
refer to the U.S. government.
The political corruption in Washington is just unreal.
 Onomatopoeia - When the name of an action imitates the sound it makes, it's
known as an onomatopoeia.
The bees buzz angrily when their hive is disturbed.

39
 BING – 3.7 /4.7/6/1.1

 Synecdoche - A synecdoche is a figure of speech using a word or words to represent

a whole. For example, if you refer to credit cards as "plastic," you're using a synecdoche.
Rather than using cash, she just paid with her plastic.

Katy Perry
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag

Like a house of cards, one blow from cavin' in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you?
'Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"

Love Story
Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standin' there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello"
Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was cryin' on the staircase
Beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while, oh oh

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a…

Outdoors
Song by: Jason Mraz
All day I’ve been inside
And I’ve got the feeling
I’m trapped between the walls
And underneath the ceiling
I feel a bit off track
And I’m trying to get back
Back in the cool, cool air where the sun is shinning
Nothing’s going to stop me
It’s all in the timing
It’s finally again my turn
It’s time to return
‘Cause I won’t stay inside no more
No more
I can’t wait to go
Outdoors
Well open up your door and be like me
Open up your door and then breathe free
And look at all the beauty you’ll feel
Loved, loved, loved, loved

They are just letting, the rest of us know
Winter is over, spring melted the snow

You will notice, a beautiful scene

So much to do, so much to see
Insects and animals are happy and free
