The study applied descriptive study accurately and systematically describes phrases and sentences in the song lyrics through the theory of Lakoff and Johnson (1980) about metaphor conceptual to identify kinds of metaphors and to determine the target and source of each datum found. The data sources were taken from the selected songs of the Gallagher brothers. The findings of this study showed that 20 expressions classified into ontological metaphors are mostly found in two others, orientational and structural metaphors. Otherwise, the meaning of data selected in the song lyrics is varied and easier to understand by using the theory to analyse.
