Data Analysis Of Figurative Language

The most important part of this research is the result of data analysis. This analysis is based
on text meaning of figurative language.

1. The data (01) entitles “Make It Mine”

a. Lyric : The one that tells you to taste past the tip of your tongue
Figurative : Hyperbole
Reason : The writer just wants to say “to express it past / to talk it past”
This lyrics cosidered as hyperbole because as we know hyperbole is an exaggeration used for
special effect. (Knickerbocker and Reninger ;1963). You cannot use a tip of tongue to tell the
taste of past. You just can feel the past by experiencing and feeling it directly.
The connotative meaning of the word “taste past” is
“to memorize what happenend in the past” and the sentence „tip of your tongue‟ refers to a
feeling something
b. Lyric : I keep my life on a heavy rotation
Figurative : Methapore
Reason : The writer just wants to say “life journey”
This lyrics cosidered as metaphor because as we know metaphor means as a figure of speech
in which a comparison is made between two things essentially are different. (Knickerbocker
and Reninger ;1963). Based on the lyrics, there is comparison between “Life” and “Heavy
Rotation” without using as or like.
The conntotative meaning of this sentence is he still on their life as usual although the
fluctuative thing in daily life.
2. The data (02) entitles “Lucky (ft. Collbie Caillat)”
a. Lyric : Though the breezes through trees, move so pretty you're all I see as the world keeps
spinning round

Figurative : Personification

Reason : It has closely associated with “we taste within with love and of i own yourself to
forever”

This lyrics considered as personification because as we know personification means a

metaphor, of course, in the sense that there is an implied comparison between a non-human
being and a human being. It implied or giving human characteristics to an object, animal, or
an abstract idea. (Knickerbocker and Reninger ;1963). Based on the lyrics, there is a
comparison between a non-human being and a human being. A “Trees” and “World” are
interpreted as non-human being as human being.

b. Lyric : I'm talking to you Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Figurative : Simile
Reason : The writer just wants to say that “I express it feeling of love this to yourself,
although place different we (the far distance love)”
This lyrics consedered as simile because as we know simile is a stated comparison,
introduced by the words “like” or “as”. (Knickerbocker and Reninger ;1963). Based on the
lyrics, Song writer compare which his love feeling when talking to you like crossing deep
blue ocean water. The comparison is implicit.
The connotative meaning of the word “talking to you Across the water across” is “feeling
from heart”.

3. The data (03) entitles “Butterfly”

a. Lyric : Ride your tongue along your bottom lip and bite down
Figurative : Paradox
Reason : Because ride and tongue is contradictory, it is one of paradox characteristic.
The lyrics considered as paradox because as we know paradox is a statement of which
surface, on obvious meaning seems to be illogical, even absurd, but making good sense upon
closer examination (Knickerbocker and Reninger; 1963;367). Based on the lyrics, ride and
tongue is contradicts.
4. The data (04) entitles “Love For A Child”
a. Lyric : There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive
Figurative : Metonymy
Reason : “a couple getting steamy” is cause and “the car parked in the drive” is effect
The lyrics considered as metonymy because as we know metonymy is figures of speech that
use one word or phrase to explain something, because its have a close associated, Kinayanti
(2006:19) . the word drive can be considered as metonymy because “drive” describing the
“car”.

The lyrics of Jason Mraz song : Make it Mine, Lucky (ft. Collbie Caillat), Butterfly, and
Love for a Child.

1. Make It Mine
Wake up everyone
How can you sleep at a time like this
Unless the dreamer is the real you

Listen to your voice

The one that tells you
To taste past the tip of your tongue
Leap in, the net will appear

I don't wanna wake before

The dream is over
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I, I know it

I'm gonna make it mine

Yes I'll make it all mine

I keep my life on a heavy rotation

Requesting that it's lifting you up, up, up and away
And over to a table at the Gratitude Café

And I am finally there

And all the angels they'll be singing
Ah la la la, ah la la la
I la la la la love you

I don't wanna break before

The tour is over
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I, I'll own it

I'm gonna make it mine

Yes I'll make it all mine
And timing's everything
And this time there's plenty
I am balancing
Careful and steady
And reveling in energy that everyone's emitting
Well I don't wanna wait no more
Oh I wanna celebrate the whole world
I'm gonna make it mine
Oh yes I'm following your joy
I'm gonna make it mine
Because I, I am open
I'm gonna make it mine
That's why, I will show it
I'm gonna make it mine
Gonna make it mine
Oh mine
Yes I'll make it all mine

2. Lucky (ft. Collbie Caillat)

[Jason]
Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

[Colbie]
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

[Both]
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

[Both]
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

[Both]
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

[Jason]
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

[Colbie]
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

[Both]
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

3. Butterfly

I'm taking a moment just imaginin' that I'm dancin' with you
I'm your pole and all you're wearing is your shoes
You got soul, you know what to do to turn me on until I write a song about you
And you have your own engaging style
And you've got the knack to vivify
And you make my slacks a little tight, you may unfasten them if you like
That's if you crash and spend the night

But you don't fold, you don't fade

You've got everything you need, especially me
Sister you've got it all
You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it all
You've got it all
Curl your upper lip up and let me look around
Ride your tongue along your bottom lip and bite down
And bend your back and ask those hips if I can touch
'Cause they're the perfect jumping off point, getting closer to your

Butterfly
Well you float on by
Oh, kiss me with your eyelashes tonight
Or Eskimo your nose real close to mine
And let's mood the lights and finally make it right
But you don't fold, you don't fade, you've got everything you need
Especially me
Sister you've got it all

You make the call to make my day

In you message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it all
You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all (2x)

You've got it all, you've got it all

Doll I need to see you pull your knee socks up

Let me feel you up side, down slide, in slide, out slide, over here
Climb in my mouth now child

*scat*
Butterfly, well you landed on my mind
Damn right you landed on my ear and then you crawled inside
And now I see you perfectly behind closed eyes
I wanna fly with you and I don't wanna lie to you
Cause I, cause I can't recall a better day
So I'm coming to shine on the occasion
You're an open minded lady
You've got it all
And I never forget a face
'Cept for maybe my own
I have my days
Let's face the fact here, it's you who's got it all

You know that fortune favors the brave

Well let me get paid while I make you breakfast
The rest is up to you, you make the call

You make the call to make my day

In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it all

I can't recall a better day

So I'm coming to shine on the occasion
You're a sophisticated lady, oh you've got it all

You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all (3x)
You've got it all, you've got it all...

Butterfly, baby, well you've got it all

4. Love For A Child

There's a picture on my kitchen wall
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
There's a party getting started in the yard
There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive
Was I too young to see this with my eyes?

By the pool last night, apparently

The chemicals weren't mixed properly
You hit your head and then forgot your name
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
And now your altitude and memory's a shame

What about taking this empty cup and filling it up

With a little bit more of innocence
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I like to believe it was all about love for a child

And when the house was left in shambles

Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around
Well I'm far too old to care about that now

What about taking this empty cup and filling it up

With a little bit more of innocence
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I'd like to believe it was all about love for a child

It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce

I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
and they never check to see my grades
What a fool I'd be to start complaining now

What about taking this empty cup and filling it up

With a little bit more of innocence
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I'd love to believe it's all about love for a child

It was all about love...
