Abstract

This study aims to analyze Adele's song Easy on Me through Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic approach using descriptive qualitative methods. The research data consists of song lyrics which are then interpreted using Lacan's main concepts, namely the Real, the Imaginary, and the Symbolic. The analysis shows that the lyrics represent the inner conflict of the lyrical character in facing separation and an unresolved past. The request to “go easy on me” reflects the need for recognition in the Imaginary realm, as well as the guilt and responsibility present in the Symbolic. Meanwhile, emotional experiences that cannot be fully expressed through language describe the presence of the Real as something traumatic and unattainable. The results of this study show that song lyrics are not only emotional expressions, but also spaces of unconscious representation that can be understood through Lacan's psychoanalytic framework. In conclusion, this study points out that Adele’s song matches with Lacanian perspectives on psychoanalysis that mediates trauma through language of everyday life.

Abstract

This study analyzes Elton John's song Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting, co-written with lyricist Bernie Taupin, through a cultural studies perspective. Released in 1973, the song is known for its energetic rock style and lyrics depicting teenage nightlife, drinking, and fighting. More than just a work of entertainment, the song can be seen as a cultural text depicting the practices and identities of working-class youth in Britain in the 1970s. Drawing on Stuart Hall's theories of representation and encoding/decoding, this study examines how meanings of freedom, aggression, and social identity are constructed in the lyrics and how listeners interpret these meanings based on their cultural and class positions. Furthermore, Dick Hebdige's subcultural theory is used to understand how music and style function as symbolic practices and forms of resistance within working-class culture. Recent research on youth and popular music suggests that cultural practices, including music, often serve as crucial spaces for the negotiation of identity and masculinity, particularly for marginalized young working-class men. In conclusion, this article argues that Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting not only depicts the spirit and rebellion of youth but also reflects the struggles, hopes, and cultural styles of working-class masculinity.
