ABSTRACT

SORAYA, GUSTI. (2019). The Metaphorical Meanings of Maroon 5's Selected Song Lyrics. Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Sanata Dharma. Communication is an important part of human life. Without communication, humans cannot convey their intentions or purpose. Therefore, they need a language and it has to contain meanings. Meaning is classified into two, literal meaning and non-literal or figurative meaning. Figurative meaning can be found in literary works, especially song lyrics. The problems formulated in this research are: First, types of metaphorical expressions found and used in Maroon 5's selected song lyrics. Second, the meanings of those metaphorical expressions. In order to analyze the meaning of metaphor, this research used semantics as the approach of the study. Stratified sampling was used to collect the data. The data were collected after metaphorical expressions are found. The types of metaphor by Peter Newmark (1988) are applied to answer the first problem. Meanwhile, to answer the second problem, the researcher applied the theory of metaphor. There are 9 song titles which consist of 21 song lines analyzed in this research. Those song lyrics are classified into three types based on the characteristics of each type. The types are dead metaphor, standard metaphor and the last is original metaphor. There are 2 expressions classified in dead metaphor, 8 expressions in standard metaphor and 11 expressions are classified in original metaphor. Thus, the metaphorical meaning can be found after comparing literal meaning and metaphorical meaning by using semantics property.

Keywords: Metaphor, Metaphorical expression, Semantic property.

ABSTRAK

SORAYA, GUSTI. (2019). The Metaphorical Meanings of Maroon 5's Selected Song Lyrics. Yogyakarta: Program Studi Sastra Inggris, Fakultas Sastra, Universitas Sanata Dharma. Komunikasi adalah bagian penting dalam kehidupan manusia. Tanpa komunikasi, manusia tidak mampu menyampaikan niat dan tujuan mereka. Oleh karena itu, mereka membutuhkan bahasa dan harus memiliki makna. Suatu makna dapat diklasifikasikan menjadi dua, makna sesungguhnya dan makna kiasan. Makna kiasan dapat ditemukan dalam berbagai karya sastra, terutama lirik lagu. Masalah yang dirumuskan dalam penelitian ini adalah: Pertama, jenis-jenis ungkapan metafora yang ditemukan dan digunakan di lirik lagu terpilih dari band Maroon 5. Kedua, makna dari setiap ungkapan metafora tersebut. Untuk menganalisa makna dari metafora, penelitian ini menggunakan Semantik, sebagai pendekatan dari penelitian ini. Stratified sampling diterapkan untuk mengumpulkan data. Data dapat di kumpulkan setelah ungkapan metafora ditemukan. Jenis-jenis metafora oleh Peter Newmark (1988) diterapkan untuk menjawab masalah yang pertama. Sementara itu, untuk menjawab rumusan yang kedua, peneliti menerapkan teori metafora. Ada 9 judul lagu, yang terdiri dari 21 baris yang dianalisa di penelitian ini. Lirik-lirik lagu tersebut diklasifikasi menjadi 3 jenis berdasarkan pada karakteristik dari setiap jenis metafora. Jenis-jenisnya adalah dead metaphor, standard metaphor dan yang terakhir adalah original metaphor. Terdapat 2 ekspresi yang diklasifikasikan dalam dead metaphor, 8 ekspresi di standard metaphor dan 11 ekspresi yang diklasifikasikan dalam original metaphor. Makna metafora tersebut dapat ditemukan setelah membandingkan makna sesungguhnya dengan makna metafora dengan menggunakan aspek semantik.

Keywords: Metaphor, Metaphorical expression, Semantic property.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study

Since born, humans cannot live without communications. Human beings always communicate with others, written or spoken. Therefore, humans need a language in order to deliver one‟s intention. It is impossible for people to communicate using language if the language contains no meaning because it carries no function in communicating, as Jakobson also states that “language without meaning is meaningless” (Jakobson as cited in Fromkin et al, 2002, p.

173).

To understand the meaning of languages, Fromkin et al (2002) add that one needs comprehension of the meanings of words and the morphemes that compose them. It also needs understanding on how the meanings of words combine into phrase and sentence meanings. Then, context of speech needs to be reconsidered in determining meaning (p. 173).

In understanding the meaning of language, there are two separate classifications of language, which are literal and non-literal (figurative) meanings.

Literal meaning is stiffer than non-literal meaning because literal meaning does not use or contain any figures of speech. It has words that are usually used in everyday life instead. The meanings of those words are the basic or according to the dictionary. Literal meaning has no other meaning outside of what is written in the dictionary. Elrington (2016) asserts that the meaning of literal

1 PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

12

language is “language that means the literal, or dictionary, meaning of a word or phrase,” the meaning of word or phrase only based on the dictionary. The meaning of figurative language is “language that goes beyond the dictionary meaning of the word or phrase”. Therefore, it can be seen that literal meaning is more rigid. On the other hand, figurative meaning uses figures of speech and the meaning is different from the dictionary or the basic meaning of words. It also means that the literal meaning contains the direct interpretation of what is said, while figurative meaning connotes certain meaning beyond the meaning of the word that is said itself.

In order to analyze a complicated idea, figurative language uses words which are deviated from their actual meaning or dictionary meaning while literal language uses words exactly according to their proper meanings or precise definitions. As stated by Brinton (2000) that figurative uses of language

(personification, metaphor, etc.) routinely violate or break selectional restrictions, figurative language is not a “normal” language. It is different from the language used daily since figurative language often violates the selectional restrictions.

A burglar killed the old man (literal)

Sadness killed the old man (metaphorical)

Those two sentences are examples of literal and figurative language (metaphor) respectively. In the first sentence, it is clear that the old man died because of the burglar killed him. The burglar is [+animate] that has an ability to kill someone. It shows that the first sentence is a literal language. In contrast, the second sentence is a figurative language since it is violate the selectional restriction that “kill”

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

requires a [+animate] subject. Sadness is [-animate], it seems impossible for sadness to kill someone. Therefore, figurative language needs interpretation. The comparison between two different objects or concepts creates the link that helps the audiences understand the meaning of the first object or concept better.

Many writers prefer to use figurative language in their texts, poetry, books, movie scripts and song lyrics because they want to give readers new insights.

When a writer writes his/her texts, he/she uses figurative words in to differ the meaning from the literal meaning. New insights are derived from the readers apprehension of the new meaning in the figurative language used in literary texts.

The following is the example of figurative language taken from song lyric.

From the lyric I‟m the shadow on the ground by Lonestar, the word “shadow” contains several meanings. According to Oxford Dictionary (2010), shadow is “a dark area or shape produced by a body coming between rays of light and a surface.” In other words, “shadow” is a dark image which is formed when the light is blocked by an object and it will appear on the surface, usually shadow will follow the object. The song forms a new meaning of “shadow” which is a person or follower, as stated in Longman Dictionary, someone who follows someone else everywhere they go. In fact, this song tells about a father and his children.

Therefore, the lyric wants to say that the father will never leave his children alone.

He wants to protect his children and follow the children wherever they go. The father is always with them, just like a shadow that never leaves its object. Thus, the writer gives a new picture and view of a word outside its common meaning.

There are several kinds of figurative language, such as metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, symbols and idiom (Madden, 2004, p. 39). They usually describe something with something else through comparison. The most powerful part in figurative language is metaphor since it is used in everyday language and as Madden states, metaphor is a “more direct and more complete comparison” (2004, p. 65). Thus, in relation to other types of figurative language, metaphor is more direct in giving comparisons although the meaning is more implicit. Metaphor is a direct comparison because when it compares something to another object, it does not use preposition, such as „like‟ or „as‟. Instead, it usually comes in the forms of “is”, “am”, “are”, “was”, and “were”. As stated further by

Madden, “a metaphor does not announce itself; it states that something is something else (My love is red) or implies it (My love has red petals and sharp thorns). Our everyday language is filled with metaphors” (2004, p. 65). In addition, metaphor gives the aesthetic value to the things that are being compared.

The definition of metaphorical meaning is the meaning that derives from metaphorical expression.

Metaphor can be found in daily lives, everyday language, as well as literary texts like poems, poetry, books and song lyrics. One of the texts which apply kinds of metaphors is song lyrics. Song lyrics also have distinct characteristics compared to other texts which contain metaphor. In other literary texts, people see the texts apart from them, while people see the text as part of them in song lyrics because most of song lyrics represent human‟s feelings.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

Other distinct features from song lyrics are the universality. Song is the universal language which is not limited to a certain religion, race, age, and other factors, but it can be enjoyed by everyone around the world. People speak different languages but they can sing along to the same song. Even though songs are sung in other languages that they do not understand, if they try to comprehend the songs, the message and the meaning of the songs can still be delivered because songs cover people from all over the world. Songs or the lyrics can also give a big impact to the readers. The readers can become happier, sadder, more upset and any other emotion because of a specific song‟s lyrics. In addition to bring out the readers feelings or emotions, people love songs because songs are close to people‟s feelings as songs can be related to the daily lives experiences as well. On this, Grocke and Wigram also state that there is no doubt that people of all ages relate to the lyrics of songs because the lyrics describe aspects of life that are common to all people, irrespective of ages, culture and upbringing (2007, p. 159).

Song is everywhere. Therefore, in order to attract listeners‟ attention, the have their own style in writing the song lyrics, whether it is the theme, the choice of words or the figurative languages. That kind of style is one of the characteristics that can make them special. One distinct musician is Maroon 5.

Maroon 5 is an American pop-rock band that comes from ,

California. The band consists of as lead vocalist and lead guitarist,

Jesse Carmichael as keyboardist, as bassist guitar, James

Valentine as guitarist, and as drummer. They also have two new members, PJ Morton as a keyboardist and as a rhythm and lead guitar.

Maroon 5 is not only famous in America, but also all around the world.

Their market share is also vast and global. All people without limitation of age, gender, and jobs enjoy their songs, as proven by their achievements from songs and . Maroon 5 has received three Grammy Awards, three American Music

Awards, four , and also four

(www..com and www.grammy.com).

Those achievements are evidence that global society welcomes Maroon 5‟s songs and most people around the world enjoy the songs. In World Music Awards,

Maroon 5 achieves not only one but four awards, as more evidence for their tremendous popularity. Their single “”, has been sold over 14.4 million copies and is one of the best-selling singles worldwide (www.imdb.com and www.grammy.com).

In writing their songs, Maroon 5 employs a lot of metaphorical expressions to make their songs easy to listen to but still have deep meaning. In addition, the use of metaphorical expression can indicate something beyond what the words literally mean. The examples of metaphorical expression can be found in Maroon

5‟s song from V, “Animals”:

You can start over, you can run free

You can find other fish in the sea

Those two lines have a certain meaning that cannot be taken literally. They have to be understood figuratively. The “other fish in the sea” does not refer to any animal that lives exclusively in water. The meaning of “other fish in the sea” is used to indicate other romantic partners or significant others to pursue. „Fish‟ in

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

this line refers to person. Through those lines, the writer wants to say that he will give freedom to another party. She can go wherever she wants, she can find another person that she likes or loves.

Metaphorical expressions can create closer distance between the writers and readers. Metaphorical expressions have a certain meaning. However, some people do not understand how to obtain the meaning of metaphorical expressions. Some of them just take the metaphorical expressions literally and even not realize that the lyric contains metaphorical expressions. Therefore, this research aims are to analyze what metaphorical expressions are used in Maroon 5‟s song lyrics as well as the types and meanings of those metaphorical expressions. In this study, the researcher selects song lyrics which contain metaphorical expressions in it. The songs selected also have the same theme, which is heartbreak.

B. Problem Formulation

In order to analyze the metaphorical expressions, there are two problems that the researcher tries to answer in this research:

1. What types of metaphorical expressions are found in Maroon 5‟s selected

song lyrics?

2. What are the meanings of those metaphorical expressions?

C. Objectives of the Study

This study is conducted for two purposes. The first one is to find out the metaphorical expressions in the song lyrics and then determine the types of those metaphorical expressions used often in the lyrics. After the metaphorical expressions and the types are found, then the second purpose is to find out the

6

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

78

literal meaning of those metaphors in the song lyrics using dictionaries. After the metaphorical expressions, the types and the literal meanings are found, and then semantic properties and metaphor analysis are used to find the metaphorical meaning.

This study expects that the readers can apply the methods in finding the metaphorical expressions, differentiate the types of metaphor and understand the meanings of metaphors that they found in daily life or any other texts, especially in song lyrics.

D. Definition of Terms

In order to prevent the misunderstanding that may happen in this study, the explanation of term will be explained.

Metaphor is a word that often mentioned in this study. The meaning of metaphor is one of figures of speech that compare two different things but have a single or some common characteristics. Metaphor is a direct comparison that does not use any preposition, such as like and as. When metaphor compares the first object with the second object, the second object is directly become the first object and vice versa.

Palmer states that a metaphor is a word which has two meanings; literal meaning and „transferred‟ meaning (1981, p. 103). In order to get the meaning of metaphors, the reader should know the metaphorical expressions of the text, and then use their imagination, interpretation and knowledge of objects that tried to be compared.

Song lyric is another important term in this study. Song lyric has a meaning which is the words in the song that can express personal thoughts and feelings

(Cambridge Dictionary, 2008). According to Dallin (1994), the meaning of lyrics is written as a form of interaction between the writer and the listeners. Most of the times, they carry a message (whatever that might be) with the purpose of motivating the listeners, at least, to think about it. Such a purpose and form of interaction are embedded in cultural context of these people, according to their musical preferences, time, etc. In other words, song lyric means words that can express the thoughts or feelings of the writer. It carries certain message or purpose that can build an interaction between the writer and the listener as the listeners can get or relate to what the writers want to deliver.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

This chapter discusses some studies that are related to this research, and also the theories that are applied, in order to answer the problem formulations. There are two main theories used in this research, semantics and metaphor. Semantics analysis used to determine the literal meanings, and the semantic properties used to compare as well as to strengthen the literal and metaphorical meanings.

Metaphor analysis used to find the metaphorical expressions and the types of metaphor.

A. Review of Related Studies

The researcher tries to find some studies or journal articles that discuss figurative language, especially metaphor. There are two studies and two journal articles which are similar to this research, though the objects are different.

The study by Retobb (2015) also focuses on metaphor. The study discusses how applied metaphor in his rap song lyrics to express his feelings, thoughts and what he wants. The research has shown that song lyrics do not affect the structure of the song figuratively and metaphorically. Instead, the songs are correct in terms of both grammar and meaning projection.

In this research, there are 4 song lyrics which are selected based on Eminem personal life. In order to analyze metaphor in the song lyrics, the writer used 2 combinations of critical approach, which are formalist approach and biographical approach. There are 17 metaphors which are found in those song lyrics.

10

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

11

This research is different from the study written by Retobb as the musicians discussed are two different musicians and both of them have different methods on projecting their messages. In this research, the researcher also focuses on the analysis of the metaphorical expressions and the meaning of those metaphorical expressions as well. This research does not analyze the grammar or the structure of the song as the study by Retobb.

The second study is from Sylvia (2015). She also focuses on metaphor. The study discusses the metaphorical meaning behind several ‟s song lyrics.

She tried to analyze metaphorical expressions in 15 songs by Coldplay. After the metaphorical expressions in each song lyrics are analyzed, Sylvia tried to explain the meaning of those metaphorical expressions.

The study has shown a particular classifications of metaphors, as the metaphors are divided into dead metaphor and live metaphor, based on how poetic the word is. The study also shows that metaphorical meaning is different in each part of lyrics. It depends on the context of the song and the certain of the meanings were also influenced by the classifications.

The research by Sylvia, classified the types of metaphor which are presented by Mildred L. Larson. The types are dead metaphor and live metaphor. There are

5 metaphorical expressions analyzed in dead metaphor, while in live metaphor there are 14 metaphorical expressions.

This research discusses some similar things with the thesis written by

Sylvia. However, there are some distinctive differences. As the musicians analyzed in this research and the thesis are clearly different, the song lyrics

10

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

1112

discussed in this research are selected based on one specific theme. The researcher only chooses songs that express heartbreak. The heartbreak mentioned is not only in terms of a relationship between lovers, but also refers to a general heartbreak.

The result of the heartbreak may vary as well. It can show sadness, anger, relieve, and many others.

The third is a journal article from Afriani (2014). Afriani analyzes the figurative language that is found in ‟s song lyrics, Heal the

World. This journal article also analyzes the meaning of figurative language that is found in the song lyrics.

To analyze the data, written texts, the researcher chooses qualitative data as the type of data. As the result, this study found that there are four figurative languages that are used in the Michael Jackson‟s Heal the World lyric. They are metaphor, personification, synecdoche and antithesis.

The journal article by Afriani has several similarities to this research.

However, the focus of the journal article and the research is different. The journal article focuses to find the figurative languages in every line of a song lyric and its meaning, while the focus of this research is on the metaphors, precisely, the metaphorical meaning of the song lyrics. This research also analyzes more than one song rather than focuses on one, which means it has more variants of results.

The fourth is journal article by Ahmad (2014). Ahmad‟s journal discusses the concept and meaning of metaphor in the ‟s song lyrics. In the analysis, it is found that the meanings of metaphors in Bob Marley‟s songs are affected by the social reality and culture in Jamaica. The songs are affected by the

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

13

background of Bob Marley himself, the sufferings and the struggles of Black people, in relation to slavery and injustice. This journal classifies the metaphor into metaphorical concept using conceptual metaphor.

This research is different from the journal article stated as the journal article focuses on the conceptual metaphor affected by the background of the song writer. This research focuses only on the metaphorical meaning, not on the background of the . The data collection method that is used in this research also differs from Ahmad as the researcher uses stratified random sampling, while Ahmad classifies the metaphor through the conceptual metaphor.

B. Review of Related Theory

1. Semantics

Semantics is the study of the meanings of words and sentences. Since meaning is a part of language, therefore, semantics is a part of linguistics; the scientific study of language (Palmer, 1981, p. 5). According to Saeed (2003), the definition of semantics is “the study of meaning communicated through language”

(p. 3). Saeed adds that the meaning of semantics is “the relations of signs to the objects to which the signs are applicable” (p. 17). The focus of semantics then is about how the morphemes, words, phrases and sentences create meaning.

There are several subfields of semantics. The first one is lexical semantics.

Lexical semantics is concerned with the meanings of words and the meaning relationships among words, and the second subfield is phrasal or sentential semantics which concerned with the meaning of syntactic units larger than the word.

12

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

1314

a. Lexical Semantics

This research concerns the meaning of words, and the subfield of semantics that is suitable to be used is lexical semantics. As described above, the meaning of lexical semantics is the meanings of words and the meaning relationships among words. Morpheme is also focuses on word since it is the smallest linguistic unit within a word that carries a meaning. Lexical semantics is the branch of linguistics that concerns with the study of lexical meaning. The difference between lexical meaning and non-literal meaning is that lexical meaning refers to the meaning of a word which appears in a dictionary, while non-literal meaning contains figure of speech, it is an everyday words that have meanings beyond the dictionary meanings. For instances, the word “sun” in “the sun shines brightly” and “you are my sun” have different meanings. The “sun” in “the sun shines brightly” lexically means a shining star in the sky during the day that can give heat and light, it refers to the real sun. Meanwhile the “sun” in “you are my sun” refers to a person that has characteristic(s) as a sun, it is non-literal.

Charles (2007) says that lexical meaning is the word‟s meaning itself. The definition of “meaning” itself is still questioned by some people and philosophers.

There are many different opinions about the definition of meaning, but the important thing of meaning here is a concept, understanding, and ideas that contained in the literary words (p. 116). For example, a tool that can help people to see something better, worn in front of the eyes and has two lenses is glasses, and another example is a tool to write that contains ink describes a pen.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

15

b. Semantic Properties

Semantic properties or features are needed in order to analyze the meaning of words. The definition of semantic properties is the smallest unit of meaning in a word. Fromkin et al (2011) states that semantic properties are properties that are part of words meanings and reflect our knowledge about what words mean (p. 9).

On the other hand, semantic features are conceptual elements by which a person understands the meaning of words. Thus, someone needs knowledge to comprehend what the meanings of those words. Semantic features are the elements to help someone to understand those meaning. The example can be seen in the following sentence “the milk drank Daniel”. In here, the milk can be translated as the kind of beverages which commonly produced by cows, and it drank Daniel, a human. Knowledge helps someone to understand that word

“milk” is not an animate or living creature. The noun “milk” does not have the property as human has, which is capable of drinking.

There are some classes of semantic properties, such as countability, animacy, sex and gender, social status, size and consistency. Countability includes countable/uncountable items. Animacy includes animate/inanimate objects, it can be human/non-human and animals. Sex and gender include male, female and neuter. Consistency includes flexible and rigid. Other semantic features include natural forces, floral, material, concrete/abstract and time. Semantic properties as the components of meaning of words have a characteristic to distinguish one word from another, which is with two possible values (+ / -) (Frawley, 2009, p. 68). The

14

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

1516

word “woman” as the example, the semantic properties of that word can be found in mother, daughter, sister, aunt and widow. Word “woman” can be mean

+female ,+human ,+mature and –male . The use of semantic property here is to compare the literal and metaphorical meanings. Through the comparison the exact meaning of metaphor can be found.

2. Metaphor

Metaphor is an important component of language creativity. Goatly (1997) states that metaphor is everywhere in the language we use and there is no escape from it (p.2). It also means that people cannot escape from metaphor whenever they talk, even they are not realize that they already use metaphor. It happens because metaphor already fused with everyday language.

Metaphor defines one idea or object with another, used to assist readers or listeners to be more expressive or understanding. Basically, figurative language is comparing something to something else that is familiar to human in a new way as well as metaphor (Madden, 2004, p. 63). According to Cambridge Dictionary

(2008), metaphor is “an expression that describes a person or object by referring to something that is considered to possess similar characteristics.” In other words, when describing or comparing something, metaphor uses another word which completely different with the things before. However, those words have common characteristics and they are still in the same context. For example, when someone wants to describe “smart people”, he/she will use different words and not telling the real meaning directly. He/she will describe the people by saying “people who always get good scores” or “people who always come in the first place”, those

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

17

sentences are different than the first but they are still in the same context as it implies that the people smart. Another example of metaphor is he is a snake. The meaning of „snake‟ in this metaphor is not an animal, but a treacherous person, sly or full of trickery, therefore, he resembles a snake. On these, Madden (2004) states that metaphor is describing something is something else but still in the same context (p. 65).

Madden (2004) states that metaphor is a more direct and more complete comparison since it does not use any preposition but is, are, was and were as used for comparison (p. 65). The Colombia Encyclopedia explains that a metaphor states “A” is “B” or substitutes “B” for “A”. In other words, when comparing the first subject or object with the second subject or object using metaphor, the second subject/object directly becomes the subject/object, and vice versa. It happens because “A” and “B” share same characteristics. According to this definition, then, another example can be seen from the metaphor corruptor is ragtag. The word „corruptor‟ has characteristics about „ragtag‟ and „ragtag‟ automatically becomes „corruptor‟, thus „corruptor‟ is absolutely or exactly the same as „ragtag‟.

Since metaphor can be found in everyday language, it is also used in song lyrics. The comparisons in the songs are usually having a specific theme, the songs also related to recent or popular issues, culture or other songs. The uses of metaphor in song lyrics are to develop the creativity of the song writers in writing song lyrics. Metaphor can gain creativity as song writers change some words into other words which have similar meanings when write songs. Metaphors also allow the song writers to change the subject/object into other subject/object; it makes the

16

songs have the aesthetic value as they are considered to be more beautiful and have deeper meaning. More than that, deeper meanings then lead the writers to express the emotions or feelings better. When the song writer tries to compare an object, such as a person, feeling or another thing to another object which is has similar characteristic and has a meaning outside the dictionary meaning, then the writer already use a metaphor.

A word of metaphor appears to have two meanings, „literal‟ meaning and

„transferred‟ meanings (Palmer, 1986, p. 103). The example can be seen from the word “sugar” in Maroon 5‟s song entitled Sugar. According to Oxford Dictionary

(2010), sugar is “a sweet substance, often in the form of white or brown crystals, which is obtained from the juices of various plants. Sugar is used to cook and to make beverages”. A word “sugar” in “your sugar// yes, please// won‟t you come and put it down on me”, is a metaphor, because the writers of the lyrics compares

“sugar” with another thing and the meaning of “sugar” in that sentence is different than the dictionary. Therefore, a word “sugar” has a transferred meaning and the transferred meaning of “sugar” in Maroon 5‟s song is a love or desire for a lover.

The definition of metaphorical expression is the expression which contains metaphor in it. It is an expression that is used to describe or define another object.

As the example, the word "sugar" above, is a metaphorical expression, because it contains metaphor and the writer uses it to change another word.

Since metaphor has another meaning outside the dictionary, the listeners or readers have to use their experiences or knowledge and should comprehend the facts of the words, in order to find the hidden meaning. It causes the listeners or

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

19

readers to have different understandings, since their experiences or knowledge about the objects that are compared, may be different. Therefore, the metaphors should be proved and the lyrics have to be seen as whole. It should be known that the meaning of metaphors may vary when people apply the metaphor in one literary work to another work.

3. Types of Metaphor

Metaphor can be classified by some different types. According to Newmark

(1988) the types of metaphor can be classified into six groups. They are dead, cliché, standard or stock, adapted, recent and original. In this research, the researcher decided to choose several types of metaphor that mostly used in the metaphorical expressions of Maroon 5‟s song lyrics. a. Dead Metaphor

Dead metaphor is the one whose image is unrecognized. It has lost the meaning through heavy use. It makes the dead metaphor become normal or daily language. The users no longer recognized or noticed them as a metaphor. Words such as part of body, metonyms and other ordinary words are dead metaphors.

The word 'mouth' in 'mouth of the river' is a dead metaphor. Another example is 'I couldn't catch what you said', that sentence show a physical action of someone tried to catch something but he failed. The meaning of the sentence has no connection with a physical action of catching something (Newmark, 1988, p.

106).

18

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

1920

b. Standard or Stock Metaphor

Standard or stock metaphor is “an established metaphor, which in an informal context is an efficient and concise method of covering a physical and/or mental situation both referentially and pragmatically." In other words, standard metaphor is usually used in the informal texts as a way of expressing a mental or physical situation concisely. The difference between dead metaphor and standard metaphor is that even if it seems like a daily or normal language, but people still notice it as figurative language since standard metaphor is not through overuse.

As example, 'Keep the pot boiling!' (Newmark, 1988, p. 108), it is a standard metaphor because this phrase only use in certain context and people still recognize it as a metaphor. c. Original Metaphor

Original metaphor is the one which is created by the writer in order to make the texts more interesting. Original metaphor “contains the core of an important writer's message, his personality, and his comment on life". Through original metaphor, the attitudes of the writer, his personality and the way he see life is shown. Since the writer use imagination and put some irrational things to his/her texts, it makes the texts or metaphors more complex and have double meaning

(Newmark, 1988, p. 112). As example, „She is a diamond‟ is a original metaphor since the writer use his creativity and his point of view towards a girl.

C. Theoretical Framework

To answer the problems, the theories which are applied in this research formulation is semantics as well as the subfields, lexical semantics and semantic properties, then theory of metaphor and the last types of metaphor theory. For the first problem formulation, the researcher uses two theories to answer it. They are metaphor and types of metaphor. The first theory is the theory of metaphor. The use of the theory of metaphor in this research is to find the metaphorical expressions in the song lyrics. Then, after the metaphorical expressions are found, the researcher uses the types of metaphor theory to identify the types of every metaphorical expression in the lyrics.

To answer the second problem, the researcher uses the theories of lexical semantics, semantic properties and metaphor. Lexical semantics is used in order to analyze the literal meaning of the metaphorical expressions which are found in the song lyrics. The metaphor theory is used to analyze the metaphorical meaning.

Then, the literal meanings are compared to the metaphorical meanings. They are compared by using semantic properties. The purpose of the comparison is to obtain the exact meaning of the metaphorical expressions also in accordance to the context of the lyrics. The context of the lyrics here means what the lyrics talk about. In addition, to distinguish the meaning of words, semantic properties are also used to strengthen the characteristics of lexical and metaphorical meaning that are found in the song lyrics.

CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGY

This chapter discusses three main parts. First, who and what is discussed in the research and also display the data. Second, the approaches that are used in this research as well as the reason why the approaches are used. The last is how to collect and analyze the data. It includes the sample that is used in this research and some steps how the data is analyzed.

A. Object of the Study

The objects of this research are Maroon 5‟s song lyrics. Maroon 5, is an

American pop-rock band that frequently uses figurative language, especially metaphor, in their song lyrics. The meaning of song lyric is the words in the song that can express personal thoughts and feelings (Cambridge Dictionary, 2008).

Through song lyrics, the readers can relate their feeling to the writer‟s feeling. All of the songs are from male perspective, as the writer or the is male.

The song titles of Maroon 5 that analyzed in this present study are selected from almost all albums of Maroon 5 and also contain metaphors. The song titles as the representatives of every album and as a proof that Maroon 5 often use metaphor in their lyrics. There are nine song titles which consist of 21 lines analyzed in this research. The titles are “This Love”, “She Will Be Loved”,

“Tangled”, “Nothing Lasts Forever”, “Payphone”, “Daylight”, “Maps”,

“Closure”, and “Whiskey”. The song titles are arranged by the album or the year they are released. Those song lyrics are selected under the same theme, which is

22

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

23

heartbreak. Heartbreak is chosen because most people have ever felt it. Heartbreak is one of the expressions or feelings that have strong effects to human. As stated in Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (2010), "heartbreak is a feeling of great sadness or distress." The effect of the heartbreak may vary as well, and different from one person to another person. It can show many feeling, such as sadness, anger, relieve, depressed and many others. When someone feels heartbroken, they tend to use words that show how angry, sad or disappointed they are. To make the words have deeper meaning, they may change some normal words to the figurative one.

B. Approach of the Study

Semantic approach is applied in this study since this study tries to find meanings. According to Palmer (1981), the definition of semantics is the study of the meanings of words and sentences. Since meaning is a part of language, semantics is a part of linguistics; the scientific study of language (p. 5). The focus of semantics then is on how the morphemes, words, phrases and sentences create meaning. The use of semantics is to analyze the meanings of the song lyrics itself.

The subfield of semantics that is suitable to be used in this research is lexical semantics since this research observes the meanings of words, not sentences.

Semantic properties are used to find the metaphorical meanings. Furthermore, the literal meanings and the metaphorical meanings are compared in order to get the final meanings of the metaphorical expressions. The theory of metaphor is applied to find the metaphorical expressions in the lyrics and to analyze the type of the metaphors.

C. Method of the Study

1. Data Collection

There were 3 steps taken to do the observation. In the first step, the researcher grouped the songs under the same theme, which was heartbreak.

Heartbreak that was selected in this research was related to romance, especially a failed romance. The heartbreak was shown through the whole lyrics and the words that were used in the lyrics. The lyrics used the words that showed how sad, miss or disappointed someone because he or she loss something or someone that really important for them.

Second step, the researcher selected the song lyrics, which contained metaphors from that group. The songs selected had different titles and came from different albums as well. Some metaphorical expressions were picked from the same song titles, but the expressions were different from one another. After the metaphorical expressions found, then the song titles, the lyrics and the metaphorical expressions were made into a list. The metaphor theory was used to find the metaphorical expressions. To find the definition or term of the words, this research used some books and online sources related to the data as references.

Also, dictionaries were used to identify the literal meaning. All the literal meanings were taken from Oxford English Dictionary (2010) and Cambridge

Advanced Learner‟s Dictionary (2008). While the metaphorical meanings were taken from A Dictionary of Symbols (2001), A Dictionary of Literary Symbols

(1999), Cambridge Dictionary of American Idioms (2003) and Dictionary of

American Idioms and Phrasal Verbs (2005). The use of the dictionaries was to

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

25

find the exact or suitable meaning of both literal meaning and metaphorical meaning. All of the song lyrics were taken from internet source. The last step is the researcher applied semantic properties/features to analyze both literal and transferred meanings after all of the metaphorical expressions in the lyrics were found.

The data were collected through stratified sampling. According to

Thompson, stratified sampling is a method of sampling that divide the population into smaller or separate groups, known as strata. He adds that "the principle of stratification is to partition the population in such a way that the units within a stratum are as similar as possible." In other words, a probability sample is drawn from every group based on same characteristics (Thompson, 2012, p. 141).

Through the stratified random sampling, the researcher tried to divide the songs into smaller groups or strata. The strata were divided based on the songs that shared same characteristic, which was the theme of the songs and the metaphorical expressions that are found in the lyrics.

2. Data Analysis

The data analysis was done by collecting all the metaphorical expressions found in the song lyrics. There were several steps in data analysis. Firstly, the researcher tried to find the metaphorical expressions in the lyrics and divide them based on the album and title of the songs. Secondly, the researcher tried to analyze the types of each metaphorical expression through the metaphor theory. Lastly, the researcher tried to comprehend the meanings of the metaphorical expressions in literal meaning. Then, the literal meanings were compared with metaphorical

24

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

2526

meanings through semantic properties. Other than using semantic properties, the researcher also adjusted the context of metaphorical meanings and the song lyrics itself in order to get the appropriate meaning.

The table below shows how the data are collected and those are the lyrics that will be analyzed both the literal and metaphorical meaning.

As the explanation of the table above, the words in bold in the lyrics column were the metaphorical expressions. The codes in the column above also represent something different. The code “M” represents Maroon 5 as the object of this present study. The code “1 until 10 (number)” refers to the song titles. Some metaphors have the same number as a code because, as mentioned, they are taken from the same songs. The last code is the alphabet, which represents the number of metaphorical expressions in one song, the thing the researcher tried to find and analyzed from this research. The “a, b or c” show that the metaphorical expressions were different even though they were taken from the same songs. For example, "M.8.c" means it's taken from Maroon 5, the eighth song lyric the researcher made and with different metaphorical expression from the same title.

Below is the example of how the researcher analyzed the data. The lyric is taken from Maroon 5‟s song, Payphone:

safe. comfortable

26

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

2827

In the line or lyric, home did not literally mean a place. It was a metaphor, since the real meaning of the word was different with the meaning in dictionary.

The meaning of the metaphorical expression in that line was person who gives warmth and make one‟s feel comfortable. The meaning of home was related to a human because they shared the same characteristic, which were can give affection or comfort. Home defined as a place where someone feels comfortable and safe. It is a place where someone can go back to then they feel tired or happy. As same as a person or in this context a lover, they can give love, make someone feels comfortable, and whenever they feel down or happy, the one that they remember is the lover.

As the explanation of the example above, it was divided into four for each line. The researcher tried to find the literal meaning of the metaphorical expression. After the literal meaning was understood, the researcher tried to find the metaphorical meaning from dictionaries, and then relate it to the context of the song lyric. After the literal and metaphorical meanings were found, the next step was to compare them by semantic property. The comparison was used to find the same characteristic of literal and metaphorical meanings. Thus, the exact meaning of metaphor can be obtained. Through the following steps, the metaphorical expressions as well as the meaning can be analyzed easily. Also the readers can obtain the exact meaning of metaphor in the song lyrics.

CHAPTER IV

ANALYSIS RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

In this chapter, the researcher tries to answer the problem formulations mentioned in the first chapter. This chapter is divided into two parts. The first part is the analysis of the types of metaphor and why the lyrics are categorized into particular types as well as the meaning of expressions. In the second part, the data is discussed through the applied theories.

A. The Types of Metaphor Used in Maroon 5’s Song Lyrics

The metaphorical expressions in the song lyrics are grouped according to their types. The types are selected based on the characteristics of metaphorical expressions that are found in this research. The types of metaphor in this research are taken from Newmark (1988). Here are the explanations of the types of metaphor as well as the placement of the metaphorical expressions based on the types:

1. Dead Metaphor

Dead metaphor is the one that becomes a normal language. Since people are not recognized or noticed it as a metaphor, they always used it in their daily life.

The continuous use causes metaphor to lose the metaphorical meaning. It makes the dead metaphor becomes normal or daily language. Words such as body parts, metonyms and other ordinary words are dead metaphors (Newmark, 1988, p.106).

2829

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

3029

Table 2. Dead Metaphor

Code Lyrics M.8.a Say you want to do this face to face

M.9.c I'm runnin' out of time

Those lyrics are included in the dead metaphor because they have the characteristics of dead metaphor. The phrases above are often used in daily life and become a daily language. Due to its usage from time to time, it causes the readers or listeners not to notice the metaphor in the lyrics.

„Face to face‟ is classified in dead metaphor. It is a phrase that is often used by people in daily lives, the phrase then loses its meaning. When someone says face to face‟ to another person, they already know the meaning of it without looking at the dictionary or searching on internet. Therefore, „face to face‟ is dead metaphor.

The same thing goes to „Run out of time‟. It is a phrase which usually used by people. Most people understand the meaning it. That is the reason why, the phrase is included in dead metaphor.

2. Standard or Stock Metaphor

Standard or stock metaphor is the one that is usually used in the informal texts as a way of expressing a mental or physical situation concisely (Newmark,

1988, p. 108). Standard metaphor is also a daily language, but it is used in some occasions and in certain times. If dead metaphor is unrecognized by the readers or listeners, it is not the case in standard metaphor. The user still notice it as a figurative language since standard metaphor is not overuse.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

31

The lyrics below are standard metaphor since they are expressing mental or physical situation. Even though they are close to daily life, but the readers and listeners still recognize them as a metaphor. Readers and listeners notice that the meanings of the expressions are beyond than the dictionary meaning. The readers and listeners have to think about the meaning of those expressions. Imagination and knowledge help them to understand the meaning of the metaphorical expressions.

Table 3. Standard or Stock Metaphor

Code Lyrics M.1.a The fire burning in her eyes M.1.c Repair your broken wings M.2.a Look for the girl with the broken smile M.4.b Built a wall around my heart M.7.b But on that road I took a fall M.8.b Cause we both know when we wake up That we'll go back to war again M.9.a I never knew that love was blind M.9.b I would've sold my soul for a little more time

Below is the reason why the metaphorical expressions above are classified into standard metaphor.

The fire burning in her eyes is a standard metaphor because the meaning of the „fire‟ is beyond the literal meaning and it shows mental condition. The „fire‟ here is not physically hurt someone.

The word „broken wings‟ is a standard metaphor because „broken wings‟ represents mental situation. Maroon 5 used „broken wings‟ to describe someone who has been emotionally hurt and scared.

30

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

3132

Look for the girl with the broken smile is an example of standard metaphor.

This phrase is noticeable as a metaphor. „Broken smile‟ is expressing mental situation, which is also the characteristic of standard metaphor. Maroon 5 choose

„broken smile‟ in order to give an image of someone who is sad but tried to hide it.

„Built a wall around my heart‟ does not literally mean to build a solid structure around his heart, since it is something impossible. Therefore, that line is metaphor. The metaphorical expression in this song is „a wall‟. It is the example of standard metaphor. The writer chooses the word „wall‟, because it represents strong and sturdy structure. The writer wants to say that no one can destroy his strong defense.

The metaphorical expression in the line But on that road I took a fall is

„road‟ and this is the example of standard metaphor. „Road‟ is selected by the writer to represent the life path. This word is only use in certain context.

That we'll go back to war again is standard metaphor since it is quite often used by people but they understand that it is a metaphor. It is also expressing mental situation. War in general is fighting between nation using military force and many people die in the process. In this context, the war is not using military force.

The types of the metaphorical expression in the line I never knew that love was blind is standard metaphor. „Blind‟ is standard metaphor because people comprehend that the meaning of „blind‟ does not literally mean unable to see.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

33

„Sold my soul‟ is the metaphorical expression in this line and it is included in standard metaphor. It is standard metaphor since it is a common idiom.

3. Original Metaphor

Original metaphor is the one which is created by the writer and is related to his/her life and their condition at that time. The writer uses their own phrases to show their message, personalities or the way they see life. The writer uses imagination and put some irrational things to their texts. They change the words or phrases that were often used by people into different words or phrases, to make the texts more complex or interesting (Newmark, 1988, p. 112).

Table 4. Original Metaphor

Code Lyrics M.1.b I try my best to feed her appetite M.2.b It's not always rainbows and butterflies M.3.a A helpless victim of a spider's web M.3.b And I'm an insect M.4.a But misbehaving only makes The ditch between us so damn deep M.5.a I'm at a payphone M.5.b trying to call home M.5.c All of our bridges burned down M.5.d But even the sun sets in paradise M.6.a And when the daylight comes I'll have to go M.7.a We drew a map to a better place

The lyrics above are original metaphor because they show the point of view or how the writer sees life. The lyrics contain irrational words created by the writer, which related to the writer‟s life or condition. The phrases are also different from daily language. Similar with standard metaphor, in original

32

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

3334

metaphor, the readers and listeners should think and understand about the meaning of the metaphorical expressions.

„Appetite‟ is the original metaphor, which created from the writer‟s imagination. The writer used his own phrase to describe a strong desire of someone related to body or mind.

„Rainbows and butterflies‟ in this song is another example of original metaphor. It shows the writer point of view of life. He used his imagination and creativity to describe something beautiful by using „rainbows and butterflies‟.

The metaphorical expression in the line A helpless victim of a spider's web is „a spider's web‟. It is an original metaphor, which is created by the writer based on his experience and creativity. He describes the girl he likes is in danger and she cannot get out of it, so he compared „a spider web‟ to dangerous thing.

The word „an insect‟ in and I‟m an insect is metaphor. It is another example of original metaphor. It was made by the writer based on his imagination. „An insect‟ is his way to describe a dangerous and powerful person who persistently approaches a woman.

The „ditch‟ in “Nothing Lasts Forever‟s song is original metaphor. It is as a representation of the writer‟s imagination and his point of view of his relationship.

The writer compared the „ditch‟ to distance that divided a person to another person.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

35

The „I‟m at the payphone‟ is actually a metaphorical expression and this is an original metaphor. This line shows the writer‟s imagination and creativity, also his way to restore his relationship.

This line is the continuation of „I‟m at a payphone‟. A word „home‟ in this line is metaphorical expression. It is included in original metaphor, since the writer creates this word to describe something else.

The „bridges‟ in this song is original metaphor. It was made by the writer imagination and his point of view of his relationship with his lover. He chose

„bridge‟ as a thing that connecting him with his lover.

„The sun sets‟ in this lyric is the example of metaphorical expression. It is original metaphor because it is created by the writer as the result of his imagination and his point of view in life.

The word „daylight‟ in this song is metaphor and it is included in the original metaphor. „Daylight‟ was made by the writer to represent the time limit.

„A map‟ in this song is metaphorical expression. It is an example of original metaphor. It is made by the writer‟s imagination. The meaning of „a map‟ in this song refers a plan. He compares „a map‟ with a plan since they have the similar characteristic.

B. The Meaning of Metaphorical Expressions in Maroon 5’s Song Lyrics

This sub-chapter discusses the meaning of the songs briefly, the meaning of the lines as well as the meaning of the metaphorical expressions and how to analyze the metaphorical expressions.

1. Maroon 5's "This Love" Song

This song talks about how a man tries to maintain his relationship. He loves his lover but he feels that the girl is not as serious as him about their relationship.

He is so in love, he does not realize that the girl just plays with his heart. For the man, she needs him just to satisfy her desire. The girl always says goodbye to him. She wants to end the relationship, so he tries to do anything to make her stay with him. He wants to fix the wrong things and what makes her sad, but the girl has had enough. Everything that the man does, it does not stop her to leave him.

This love only hurt him and she never comes back. At the end, he let the girl go because he does not want to say goodbye anymore. a. "This Love" – The fire burning in her eyes.

The literal meaning of fire in Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (2010) is a process of burning that produced light and heat. Usually, it comes up with smoke and flames. Fire in big scale could destroy buildings, vehicles, trees and many more. In A Dictionary of Symbols (2001), „fire‟ means a strong emotion, angry or exited feeling; enthusiasm. It is clear that the meaning of „fire‟ in this line is a strong emotion of angry. The fire burning in her eyes is not that the fire really burning the eyes, but the anger is seen through the eyes.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

Metaphorical Metaphorical Semantic Literal Meaning Expression Meaning Property

The fire burning in The fire burning The anger seen + hatred her eyes the eyes through the eyes

In the song, it shows that the girl really hates her lover, and wants to leave him. To be precise, she wants to end the relationship. It is seen in the line, whispered “goodbye”, she got on a plane// never to return again. The line she said goodbye too many times before shows that the girl is tired with the relationship and said goodbye means that she wants to end the relationship. The line too many times before means a long period of time, the anger that she has is bigger than before. Then, when he was so high, the girl feels more and more hate the man. Her anger reaches the limit and it makes her burning. Therefore, burning in her eyes means her eyes filled with hatred. b. "This Love" – I try my best to feed her appetite.

In Cambridge Dictionary (2008), appetite literally means the feeling of someone that wants to eat food. Appetite is usually related to food or drink.

However, in Cambridge Dictionary of American Idioms (2003) the meaning of appetite is the desire that cause someone to want more of something, either of the body or of the mind. In other words, „appetite‟ means a strong sexual ambition.

Thus, I try my best to feed her appetite means that the man tries everything he can to satisfy or fulfill what's the girl want or need. In the context of the song,

„appetite‟ here is related to sex. It can be seen by the lines, keep her coming every

36

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

night// so hard to keep her satisfied. Night closely related to sex because most of people do sex in the night. The man tried his best to satisfy her sexual desire.

Metaphorical Metaphorical Semantic Literal Meaning Expression Meaning Property

A strong sexual Relish of food or Appetite + desire drink ambition c. "This Love" – Repair your broken wings.

The meaning of wing in Cambridge Dictionary (2003) is the pair of similar part that is used to fly. It‟s usually owned by the insects, birds, bats, etc. In this song, „wings‟ are not for animal, but metaphorically for a person. As seen in A

Dictionary of Symbols (2001), wings symbolize spirituality, imagination and thought. It is also a symbol of deities. Maroon 5 describes a human figure that has wings. Wings are thus related to angel, a beautiful and purest spirit. An angel uses wings to fly or move from one place to other places. It shows that wings represent power and freedom. Moreover, in Greeks, wings symbolize love and victory.

In this song, Maroon 5 uses angel to describe the girl is as pure, beautiful and adorable as an angel, but has broken wings. Therefore, the meaning of

„broken wings‟ is the girl is being hurt, she has neither power nor freedom. Thus, repair your broken wings mean the man tries to fix her broken heart and give her a freedom, so she can fly again.

2. Maroon 5's "She Will Be Loved" Song

This song is about man who secretly has a feeling to his female friend. He loves her so much, but he realized that he cannot have the girl because she belongs to someone else. The man knows the girl really well, he would do anything for her. And even though he is in pain because the girl he loves belong to someone else, he still cares for her. On the other hand, the girl is always being hurt by her lover and they eventually break up. All she wants is to be loved and the man knows that. He will accept the girl and always be there for the girl every time she needs him, because the man wants her to feel loved. At the end, even though the girl was being hurt by her lover, she still goes back to the lover and the man (writer) will always accept her back with open arms whenever she needs him.

There are two different lines and expressions in this song, which are look for the girl with the broken smile and it's not always rainbows and butterflies. a. "She Will Be Loved" – Look for the girl with the broken smile.

According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (2010), the word smile in look for the girl with the broken smile literally means an expression of face that showing happiness or pleasure. People are usually showing their smile when they

38

are pleased. Based on A Dictionary of Symbols (2001), „broken smile‟ means a forced smile, which makes people appear happier than they really are.

It shows the contradiction on the literal meaning. Since „smile‟ is an expression of happiness, so „broken smile‟ means broken happiness, precisely sadness or sorrow of being hurt. When someone is being hurt and feels so sad, the smile is not showing happiness but sadness instead. It is a fake smile because it does not come from the heart. Even though she is hurt but she tries to smile in order to hide her pain.

The literal meaning of rainbow based on Cambridge Dictionary (2008) is an arch of many colors. It is seen in the sky, it appears for a short time when it rains but the sun is still shining. The meaning of butterfly is a type of insect with large, often brightly colored wings. Both „rainbow‟ and „butterfly‟ have many colors.

The meaning of „butterfly‟ based on A Dictionary of Symbols (2001) is joy and conjugal bliss. While in the meaning of „rainbow‟ based on A Dictionary of

Literary Symbols (1999) is a bond between earth and heaven, as it is a product of

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

the sun (heaven) and rain (falling from heaven to earth). „Rainbow‟ is a divine token, though not so benign. The dictionary also states that „rainbow‟ is filled with wonder and amazement.

„Rainbow‟ and „butterfly‟ are concrete things, which are seen through the eyes. However, in this song, „rainbow‟ and „butterfly‟ are abstract. They share the same characteristic, which symbolizes happiness or beautiful thing. It's not always rainbows and butterflies means that it's not always happy or beautiful. It can be said that it is not always beautiful or full of happiness to love someone, sometimes it can be painful as well. As a conclusion, the man always keep his feelings towards the girl to himself. Though, the girl already has a lover, but the man still stay by her side. It's painful for him because he cannot have the person he loves.

The line, it‟s compromise that moves us along, show the unhappy or painful thing that make him stay along with the girl.

The writer uses „spider's web‟ because it's containing sticky strands, he wants to show that it's difficult for the prey, or in this context, for the girl, to escape from it.

4. Maroon 5’s “Nothing Lasts Forever” Song

This song tells about a couple that cannot be together again. The situation is like the girl does not want to be together with the man. She always blames him and refuses his affection. Everything that he does to maintain the relationship, only make them suffer and get them further away. Even the man loves his girlfriend, but he chooses to let her go. He realizes that this is the best way for them, because nothing lasts forever.

There are two different metaphorical expressions in this song. a. “Nothing Lasts Forever” – But misbehaving only makes // The ditch between

us so damn deep

The meaning of ditch in Cambridge Dictionary (2008) is a long, narrow open hole that is dug into the ground, usually at the side of a road or field, used especially for supplying or removing water or for dividing land.

The „ditch‟ in this line metaphorically means distance. The ditch between us so damn deep means there is a distance that separates them into two parts or sides.

Since „the ditch‟ means a distance, the word „deep‟ here means extending far away from a point of reference. In other words, the distance between them is so far away. It's so hard for them to be together. The whole two lines, but misbehaving only makes and the ditch between us so damn deep, show cause and effect. The more they misbehave, it makes the „ditch‟ become farther away. It's like when someone does something wrong or misbehaving, it makes other people feel uncomfortable and they tend to stay away from the one who misbehaves. It causes the distance between them becomes so deep or far.

Idioms (2006), „wall‟ implies meaning of protection.

The metaphorical meaning of „a wall‟ in the line is defense, a strong defense. Someone built a wall because there is something they want to protect. A wall is a strong and sturdy structure that cannot fall apart easily and hence other people cannot come or go through it and take or destroy something in the inside.

That is the reason why a wall is used. In this line, the thing protected is the heart.

The writer makes a strong defense for his heart because he does not want the heart to be swayed or destroyed by the girl.

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION

This chapter is the conclusion of this research. It concludes the answers of the problem formulations, which mentioned in the Chapter I. This research tries to answer the types of metaphorical expressions that are found in Maroon 5‟s selected song lyrics as well as the meaning of those metaphorical expressions.

The first problem that the researcher tries to analyze is the types of metaphors. There are 21 expressions of metaphorical expressions found in this research. Those metaphorical expressions are then classified into three types, which are dead metaphor, standard metaphor and original metaphor. Based on the data analysis, there are two dead metaphors in total, there are eight standard metaphors, and there are eleven original metaphors. This makes the latter the most used metaphorical expressions by the writer.

The first type is dead metaphor. The meaning of dead metaphor is similar to literal meaning. Since it is used in daily life, people do not notice it as a metaphor.

People are already familiar with it, which is also the reason dead metaphor becomes a normal language. However, different from dead metaphor which has a fixed meaning, standard metaphor is a bit more complex than dead metaphor.

Though, standard metaphor is close to daily life, but people still notice that it has another meaning beyond the dictionary meaning. The last type is original metaphor. It gives big influence to metaphorical meaning, different from the two types explained previously. In this type, the writer tends to use the expression that

5958

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

6059

is different from daily language. The writers create their own expressions to describe their feelings. Therefore, one expression might be different to another. It depends on the situation and the writer‟s feeling.

The metaphorical expressions as well as the types of metaphorical expression are required for the researcher to answer the second problem. After metaphorical expressions are found, the researcher tries to analyze the literal meaning of those metaphorical expressions by dictionaries. Some of metaphorical expressions are overused and become daily language, so the meaning of those expressions can also be found in the dictionary. The use of semantics property is to compare literal meaning and metaphorical meaning. That way, the exact meaning of metaphor can be obtained.

The conclusion of this research is figurative language, especially metaphor has become daily language. It can be seen from the fact that some expressions already become daily language, most people do not notice them as a metaphor anymore. Though, sometimes metaphor can be seen to be complicated. Original metaphor as the example, it is a bit complicated since the writer creates the expression by their own imagination or creativity. The readers or listeners might find it difficult to understand the metaphorical meaning of the expression. The simple step like checking up on the dictionaries can be taken as well in order to understand the metaphorical meaning. Nevertheless, in order to obtain the appropriate metaphorical meaning besides checking up on the dictionaries, there are some aspects that the readers and listeners should comprehend.

PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

61

Firstly, the readers or listeners should understand the context or meaning of the song as well as the meaning of the lines which contain the metaphorical expressions. Second, the readers or listeners should find some reliable sources related to metaphor and song lyric.

However, through this present study, the researcher hopes that the readers of this research and the song lyrics can get clearer meaning of Maroon 5‟s songs and get a better understanding about metaphorical meaning and metaphorical expression in song lyrics, so the messages from the writers can be taken in a better light. The researcher also hopes the readers and listeners to be able to analyze lyrics or others literary texts which contain metaphor, even in the simplest way by showing the process in this research.

As the explanation of the table above, the words in bold in the lyrics column were the metaphorical expressions. The codes in the column above also represent something different. The code “M” represents Maroon 5 as the object of this present study. The code “1 until 10 (number)” refers to the song titles. Some metaphors have the same number as a code because, as mentioned, they are taken from the same songs. The last code is the alphabet, which represents the number of metaphorical expressions in one song, the thing the researcher tried to find and analyzed from this research. The “a, b or c” show that the metaphorical expressions were different even though they were taken from the same songs. For example, "M.8.c" means it's taken from Maroon 5, the eighth song lyric the researcher made and with different metaphorical expression from the same title.

Appendix 2. Maroon 5’s song lyrics

1. Maroon 5 – This Love

I was so high I did not recognize The fire burning in her eyes The chaos that controlled my mind Whispered "Goodbye", she got on a plane Never to return again But always in my heart

This love has taken its toll on me She said "Goodbye" too many times before And her heart is breaking in front of me And I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I tried my best to feed her appetite

Keep her coming every night So hard to keep her satisfied Kept playing love like it was just a game Pretending to feel the same Then turn around and leave again, But I know...

This love has taken its toll on me She said "Goodbye" too many times before And her heart is breaking in front of me And I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I'll fix these broken things Repair your broken wings And make sure everything's alright My pressure on your hips Sinking my fingertips Into every inch of you 'Cause I know that's what you want me to do

This love has taken its toll on me She said "Goodbye" too many times before And her heart is breaking in front of me And I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore

This love has taken its toll on me She said "Goodbye" too many times before And my heart is breaking in front of me She said "Goodbye" too many times before

This love has taken its toll on me

2. Maroon 5 – She Will Be Loved Beauty queen of only eighteen She had some trouble with herself He was always there to help her She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door I've had you so many times but somehow I want more

I don't mind spending every day Out on your corner in the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved And she will be loved

Tap on my window, knock on my door I want to make you feel beautiful I know I tend to get so insecure It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies It's compromise that moves us along, yeah My heart is full and my door's always open You come anytime you want, yeah.

I don't mind spending every day

Yeah

Tap on my window knock on my door I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending every day Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh. Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved And she will be loved And she will be loved And she will be loved

3. Maroon 5 – Tangled

I'm full of regret For all things that I've done and said And I don't know if it'll ever be ok to show My face 'round here Sometimes I wonder if I disappear

Would you ever turn your head and look See if I'm gone Cause I fear

There is nothing left to say to you That you wanna hear That you wanna know I think I should go The things I've done are way too shameful

Your just innocent A helpless victim of a spider's web And I'm an insect Goin after anything that I can get

So you better turn your head and run

And don't look back Cause I fear

There is nothing left to say To you That you wanna hear That you wanna know I think I should go The things I've done are way too shameful

[x2] And I've done you so wrong Treated you bad Strung you along Oh shame on myself I don't know how I got so tangled up

4. Maroon 5 – Nothing Lasts Forever

It is so easy to see Dysfunction between you and me We must free up these tired souls Before the sadness kills us both

I tried and tried to let you know I love you but I'm letting go It may not last but I don't know Just don't know

If you don't know Then you can't care And you show up

But you're not there But I'm waiting And you want to Still afraid that I will desert you

Everyday With every worthless word we get more far away The distance between us makes it so hard to stay But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe It hurts but it may be the only way

A bed that's warm with memories Can heal us temporarily But misbehaving only makes The ditch between us so damn deep

Built a wall around my heart I‟ll never let it fall apart Strangely I wish secretly It would fall down while I'm asleep

If you don't know Then you can't care And you show up But you're not there But I'm waiting And you want to Still afraid that I will desert you, babe

Everyday With every worthless word we get more far away

The distance between us makes it so hard to stay But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe It hurts but it may be the only way

Though we have not hit the ground It doesn't mean we're not still falling, Oh I want so bad to pick you up But you're still too reluctant to accept my help What a shame, I hope you find somewhere to place the blame But until then the fact remains

Everyday With every worthless word we get more far away The distance between us makes it so hard to stay Nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe It hurts but it may be the only way

Everyday With every worthless word we get more far away The distance between us makes it so hard to stay But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe It hurts but it may be the only way

5. Maroon 5 – Payphone I'm at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two?

Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember The people we used to be...

It's even harder to picture, That you're not here next to me.

You say it's too late to make it, But is it too late to try? And in our time that you wasted All of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights, You turned out the lights Now I'm paralyzed. Still stuck in that time When we called it love But even the sun sets in paradise

I'm at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two?

If "Happy Ever After" did exist, I would still be holding you like this [Explicit:] All those fairy tales are full of [Clean:] All those fairy tales are full of it. [Explicit:] One more fucking love song, I'll be sick. [Clean:] One more stupid love song, I'll be sick

[Explicit version verse ():] Man, fuck that shit I'll be out spending all this money While you're sitting round wondering Why it wasn't you who came up from nothing, Made it from the bottom Now when you see me I'm stunning, And all of my cars start with a push of a button Telling me the chances I blew up Or whatever you call it, Switch the number to my phone So you never could call it, Don't need my name on my shirt, You can tell it I'm ballin. Swish, what a shame could have got picked Had a really good game but you missed your last shot So you talk about who you see at the top Or what you could have saw but sad to say it's over for.

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close 'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own But tonight I need to hold you so close Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa
