Through that language, people convey their ideas, desires, or feelings. The function of the language itself is a social interaction tool, in the sense of the tool to convey thoughts, ideas, concepts, or feelings. Thus, language can be expressed as the identity and media of the community's soul-expressiveness or individuals in various communication situations (Chaer, 2009:33). In communication certainly contains meanings that are understandable to each other. This means that meaning is an important part of the language and through language we can know and understand the meaning. Meaning deeply examined in a science called semantics.

The common figurative language in the poem one is the metaphor. In literature, metaphor as one of elements does not merely convey ideas, in addition it also functions as a tool for literary writers to embellish and give colors to their works.

Some of them are novels, song lyrics, poetry, etc. In relation to the topic the writer will explain in this paper is that the metaphor is found in some song lyrics.
