Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types and dominant use of metaphors in the lyrics of Ghea Indrawari’s 2024 album Berdamai. The research is grounded in the framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) and Goatly’s (1997) typology of metaphor. The study applies a descriptive qualitative method to examine ten songs from the album. The data consists of metaphorical expressions identified in the lyrics, which are then classified into six metaphor types: active, inactive, dead, subjective, asymmetric, and mimetic metaphors. The analysis reveals five out of six metaphor types in the selected lyrics: active, dead, subjective, asymmetric, and mimetic metaphors. Among them, subjective metaphor is found to be the most dominant. These metaphors are used to convey deep emotional and psychological states, such as loss, insecurity, and inner healing. The findings suggest that metaphors in Ghea Indrawari’s lyrics serve as expressive tools that reflect personal and social themes relevant to young audiences. This research contributes to literary studies by positioning contemporary song lyrics as rich texts worthy of academic exploration. It also opens possibilities for further research on metaphor in other media, such as film, spoken poetry, or social media content.
