Abstract

This research was aimed to describe the types and the interpretation meanings of figurative languages found in Adele’s song lyrics. This research was conducted by using descriptive qualitative method. The objects of this research were the two selected songs of Adele namely: “Hello” and “Someone like You”. The researcher used two instruments namely: observation field note and table. The results showed there were there are 4 types of figurative languages used in “Hello” song’s lyrics. Those figurative languages applied are personification consisting 3 data, simile 1 datum, hyperbole 2 data (22.22%), and irony 4 data (44.44). In the song’s lyrics of “Someone like you”, the researcher found 6 types of figurative language as the figurative meanings through this song’s lyrics. The results findings were classified into: metaphor consisting 1 datum (11.11%), simile 1 datum (11.11%), symbol consisting 1 datum 11.11%), personification 1 datum (11.11%), hyperbole containing 2 data (22.22%), and irony containing 3 data (33.33%). Regarding to the interpretation meanings, in the song’s lyric “Hello”, it is concluded it’s about her trying to reconnect with the man she hurt in the past. She wants to apologize for everything that she's done in the past even if he isn't hurting anymore, it would give her peace of mind just to be able to say the words “I'm sorry”. In the song’s lyrics “Someone Like You”, Adele is not over it, she's saying the “right” things, in that she does wish him well, the best, because she loves him more than anything and there's nothing she can do as he’s found someone else. she loved him more than he loved her. “Never mind I'll find someone like you” is more like wishful thinking and hoping.
