Abstract

Music has a significant role as a universal communication tool that is able to express feelings, ideas, emotions and reflections to its listeners. The song "Semua Aku Dirayakan" by Nadin Amizah is not only a means of entertainment but also offers a deep meaning related to introspection about self-acceptance, gratitude, and life's journey through deep metaphors. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with Ferdinand De Saussure's semiotic approach, which focuses on the relationship between signifiers and signifieds to help us understand how signs work to form, change and communicate meaning in certain contexts. Data was collected from fanbase and general listener interviews as well as lyric analysis. This research aims to analyze the meaning of the lyrics of the song "Semua Aku Dirayakan" to reveal the message contained and connected to the listener's interpretation. The results of this research show that the song "Semua Aku Dirayakan" can be a universal reflection medium with a deep meaning about self-acceptance and respect for every phase of life. This research provides theoretical contributions to the study of semiotics and practical benefits for listeners in understanding the meaning of song lyrics more deeply.

Abstract

In the context of modern society, developments in life marked by rapid information flows, social pressures, and demands for success often give rise to existential crises, especially among Gen Z. This generation often faces confusion in determining the direction of their lives, given the high social expectations placed upon them. Music serves as a medium capable of reflecting inner turmoil and existential experiences through song lyrics. This study aims to examine the representation of existential crises in the lyrics of the song “33x” by Perunggu using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The analysis was carried out through the stages of denotation, connotation, and myth interpretation. The findings show that the song “33x” represents the existential crisis experienced by Gen Z, which is reflected through inner anxiety, loss of life orientation, and the process of searching for identity and meaning of existence. Supported by Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialism perspective, this song presents a picture of individual freedom as well as personal responsibility in determining the direction of life. In addition, there is a transcendental communication dimension that places the relationship between humans and God as a source of reflection, inner peace, and support in the journey of self discovery amid the pressures of modern life. Thus, the song “33x” does not merely serve as a means of entertainment, but also as a medium for self-reflection and inner communication for Gen Z in understanding and discovering their identity.
