parallelism and one hyperbole. The meaning of the four symbols is as follows. Firstly “Mama” is the symbol of motherland. Secondly, “Drama” is the symbol of pretending.
Thirdly, “Father” is the symbol of God. Fourthly, “Rug” is the symbol of poor citizens.
The meaning of the four similes is as follows. Firstly, “People living like they ain’t got no mamas”. This statement means that people feel like they are living alone. Secondly, “With on going suffering as the youth die young”. This statement means that people are full of suffering from the savage of wars. Thirdly, “Infecting the young minds faster that bacteria”. This statement means that the young is very easy to be infected because they
have less straight attitude. Fourthly, “Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema”.
This statement means that young teenagers mostly have a naifthinking pattern. The meaning of the personification, “And that exactly how anger work and operates” is that
people who are angry because of their on going conflict with others prefer to choose an immediate solution, that is by provoking wars. The meaning of the parallelism “people
killing, people dying” is that people kill each other in the same country, religion, and purpose due to their preference or immediate solution to their conflicts. The meaning of the hyperbole “I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder” is that the song writer feels a heavy burden in his life.</description><date>2007</date><type>Thesis:Thesis</type><type>PeerReview:NonPeerReviewed</type><type>Book:Book</type><language>eng</language><identifier>http://eprints.umm.ac.id/8262/1/AN_ANALYSIS_OF_FIGURATIVE_LANGUAGE_USEDIN_SONG_LYRICS_OF.pdf</identifier><identifier> Wahyuni, Sri (2007) AN ANALYSIS OF FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE USEDIN SONG LYRICS OF “WHERE IS THE LOVE”BY BLACK EYED PEAS.
