The research employs a qualitative method involving textual analysis of selected song lyrics. Seven categories of figurative language are identified: metaphor, hyperbole, irony, personification, metonymy, imagery, and simile. To ensure the credibility of the findings, validation was conducted through a checker or validator process involving expert review. Metaphor emerged as the most frequently used figure of speech, accounting for 36% of the identified expressions. Less frequently observed were personification and metonymy (6% each), along with imagery and simile (4% each). The study highlights the pedagogical significance of figurative language as a bridge between semantics and emotional literacy. It underscores how understanding figurative expressions can enrich literary interpretation and support emotional education within academic settings. 428 UIN SMH Banten Perpustakaan Pusat SKRIPSI TBI 2558 SKRIPSI TBI 2558 My Library SKRIPSI TBI 2558 30890 2025-09-02 10:11:59 2025-09-02 10:12:20 machine generated
