Abstract

This study looks at the lyrics of Bruno Major’s Nothing using Ferdinand de Saussure’s view. The study uses a text-based approach. The study finds three pairs, in the lyrics – intimacy vs. Distance certainty vs. Uncertainty and simplicity vs. Complexity. The opposite pairs shape the structure of the song. The meaning in the lyrics does not come from words. The meaning in the lyrics comes from the contrasts, between signs. The result matches Saussure’s idea that language works through differences. I think the study looks at a gap, in research that rarely uses a Saussurean structural analysis, on a single song. I think the study adds to the growth of using structuralism in the study of music texts. Researchers have examined music texts often with a semiotic approach. In practical terms, the findings of this study can serve as a reference for future studies that seek to examine the meaning of lyrics through oppositional structures, while also emphasizing that songs can be understood as complex sign systems, rather than merely emotional expressions. Overall, this research demonstrates that Nothing conveys emotional depth not through explicit narrative but through subtle oppositional tensions, affirming the relevance of binary oppositions as a tool for understanding meaning in contemporary song lyrics. Keywords: Binary oppositions, song lyrics analysis, meaning.

Abstract

This study analyzes the symbolic meaning of the colors pink, blue, and green that appeared in digital demonstrations in Indonesia in 2025 using Charles Sanders Peirce's triadic semiotics approach. This approach views signs as a combination of three main elements: representamen (signs), objects (what is signified), and interpretants (the meanings produced). The research method uses qualitative analysis of posts and comments on social media that contain these color symbols. The results show that these colors not only function as visual elements, but also convey social, emotional, and ideological messages that develop dynamically according to the social and political context. Pink symbolizes women's courage, green symbolizes solidarity and justice for workers, while blue represents national consciousness and resistance. The combination of these three colors unites the meanings of courage, solidarity, and resistance as symbols of the people's struggle that lives on in Indonesia's culture of digital protest. This study provides a new perspective on the use of color as a dynamic and contextual medium of political communication in the digital age. Keyword: Semiotic, Digital Protest , Resistance
