Abstract

The current study investigated a song lyric entitled “Lily” in terms of its generic structure to come up with the rhetorical strategies—how satanic tricks influence people through human greed. Lily belongs to a lyric considered a narrative poem. It is theorized that a narrative poem is a poem or possibly a lyric which consists of orientation, complication and resolution. In other words, a lyric is structured as such to produce rhetorical strategies (goals) which were analyzed employing Aristotle’s ethos, logos and pathos.  Meanwhile, in the complication analysis of Lily, not only did the study employ psychological theory but was also supported by social contexts to describe how satanic tricks were made use through human greed engineering in achieving the goal of negative thoughts generating. The findings indicate that human minds are in fact guided by both angels and satans. Angels guide any individual (Lily) to stay in track of the positive values while Satan whispers tricks to divert from the positive path toward the negative values by means of human greed. To confirm the findings, a survey was administered to 90 purposefully-selected teenagers in Semarang Municipality only to find that “Lily“ song lyrics failed to give any answer to the question whether or not she (Lily) can be saved despite her frequent calls for help.

Abstract

This study examines the lyrics of Lana Del Rey's album "Born to Die" (2012) as a literary text rich in figurative language and explores how they represent the three components of love—intimacy, passion, and commitment—in Sternberg's Triangle of Love Theory. The study focuses on the dominant types of figurative language—personification, metaphor, simile, hyperbole, metonymy, litotes, and irony—and maps their meanings to the theme of love in the album. The approach used is qualitative, using a close reading technique of the lyrics, followed by data collection (listening to and reading the lyrics), identification, classification based on the type of figurative language and its relationship to Sternberg's components of love, and data reduction to select the most relevant data. The primary data source is the album's lyrics, while secondary data includes theoretical references on figurative language and Sternberg's theory of love. The research limitation strictly excludes non-lyrical musical elements (vocals, arrangements, instruments) so that the analysis is focused on the lyric text as the object of linguistic-literary study. Theoretically, this research is expected to enrich stylistic studies on popular music; practically, the research provides an analytical model that connects figurative language devices in lyrics with the emotional dimensions of love according to Sternberg.
