This study analyzes the use of metaphors in the lyrics of the song “Satu Bulan” by Bernadya. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and Ullman's (1962) metaphor theory, this study identifies and classifies metaphors into four main categories: anthropomorphic metaphors, concrete to abstract metaphors, synesthetic metaphors, and animalistic metaphors. The analysis shows that there is 1 anthropomorphic metaphor, 2 concrete to abstract metaphors, and 2 synesthetic metaphors, with no animalistic metaphors found. The metaphors in this song reinforce the emotional and aesthetic dimensions, bringing a profound experience to the listener. This research highlights the important role of metaphors in revealing themes of loss, longing and emotional conflict, and contributes to the understanding of the power of language in music.
