1.1 Background of the Study

Language is the important part of human life. Language is used as the media to communicate with the others. Without language they will only misunderstand. It helps us to communicate, to sharing and to get information.

According to Kreidler (1998:19), language is a system of symbols through which people communicate. The examples of symbols were spoken, written, or sign with the hands. Human being is a social and an individual person and always communicates with each other.

According to Wibowo (2001:3), language is a system of symbols that are meaningful and articulate sound (generated by said tool) which are arbitrary and conventional, which is used as a means of communicating by a group of human beings to give birth to feelings and thougths.

Language refers as a media for human beings to sharing thoughts by words, symbols or even movements as an act of communication. The scientific study of language is called linguistics.

Figurative language is not used only in the poetry. This can be applied in the song lyric too.

Figurative language will create interesting meaning but difficult to be interpreted in a literal meaning completely and perfectly. Figurative language cannot be separated from songs. The singers have their own figure of speech in making the song lyrics. This is the way to say something more than the literal meaning and the way to deliver the message behind the beautiful lyrics.
