No one can refuse the part of music in human lifestyle. People pay attention to music for a wide range of reasons: to amuse, to rest, to evade from their exhausting and annoying lifestyle, etc. A query can be raised: "How can music get the ability to do all of those tasks?" It is the music lines where we can look for the response. The lines have the energy to touch and stimulate individuals inner emotions. This energy is designed mainly by the writer using a wide range of rhetorical methods and Metaphor is one of the most commonly used. To be more specific, metaphor is a invisible evaluation which the authors often use to express their ideas or emotions in a very innovative way; therefore, those who pay attention to the music must spend some initiatives on finding the invisible concept. However, effectively knowing the significance of metaphors is not always easy and sometimes the audience discover it really challenging and puzzled to determine the authors' effects.
Rationale
Discovering the true significance of a metaphor in music lines is somewhat similar to enjoying a process game. Our team discover this process really interesting and full of process. That is the reason why we have chosen the subject of "Metaphor in Song Lyrics" for our analysis. We also wish to offer the British learners a little more knowledge about the use of metaphor in an interesting area (music) so that they can enhance their language. In addition, effectively knowing the metaphors in music lines will make it less challenging to understand the writer's concept or effects. As a result, the audience can discuss with the authors their experiences, emotions, pleasure or even discomfort which are communicated magnificently into the music by metaphors.
Scope of the Study & Methodology
As we all know, metaphor is commonly used in a wide range of different areas such as discussion, literary works, proverb/sayings and also music. Although the use of metaphor is really interesting, it is not possible for us to perform the analysis in all areas. Therefore, our team made the decision to filter the opportunity of our analysis in music lines (music) only. The analysis will aim at responding to one analysis question: "How do music authors use metaphor in their music lyrics?" To accomplish this objective, we chosen a few of popular music from different styles and then produced some parts of the lines which contain metaphors to thoroughly evaluate.
Literature Review
As metaphor has been used in many areas for different requirements, this rhetorical method has been described in a lot of lexicology guides or sites. In a book for language learners known as "Basic British Lexicology" (author: Hoang Tat Truong), the writer provides the meaning, the attribute function and the category of metaphor. However, most of his illustrations are terms, terms or simple terms often used in everyday interactions. If we search engines the phrase "metaphor", the search engine optimization will lead us to a massive wide range of sites regarding this subject such as "literaryzone.com", "changingminds.org", etc. These sites discuss something in common. That is, they mainly concentrate on the meaning, types of metaphor and the illustrations are mostly taken from literary works, proverbs or terms. Only a few of the sites evaluate the use of metaphor in music lines. Thus, it is not too challenging to recognize the gap in this area. Our analysis will analysis the subject to offer a better knowing about British metaphor.
