The speaker described that situation in lines “…do you ever ask yourself is there a heaven in the sky why cant we get it right cause we all live under the same
sun we all walk under the same moon then why, why cant we live as one.” The oncept of peace proposed by the speaker through above lyric related to
the concept of peace proposed in Wind of Change, that is the situation in which people could be so close like brother.
Based on both of the concept of peace above, the writer concludes that Wind of Change
and Under the Same Sun describe the concept of peace that is nearly same with the concept of peace that is proposed by Gunnar Johnson within the first
category of three categories presented by him “peace as a world without war.” This category is concerned with disarmament, control of or elimination of war,
understanding the root causes of war, and the control of or elimination of war like to these ends most of peace research has been dedicated.
Overall, the concept of peace that is proposed by the four of these lyrics describe the situation without war and the people could be so close like brother.
CHAPTER IV CONCULUSION AND SUGGESTION
A. CONCLUSION
Based on the focus of the study, the writer focuses the research only in analysing figure of speech and imagery used in the Beatles songs Imagine, Give
Peace a Chance and Scorpion song Wind of Change, Under the Same Sun that are
considered as lyrics. Categorized as poem, those lyrics consist of the intrinsic elements that poem have. Imagery and Figure of speech construct the concept of
peace, considered as the research finding of this thesis. Four of these lyrics Imagine, Give Peace a Chance, Wind of Change and
Under the Same Sun, describe the ideal world such as visualized in Imagine, the
speaker visualizes the mental picture or a description of his dream where there is no heaven, country, religion and possession assumed as stumbling block for people to
live in peace. The word heaven that is suggested as a place believed to be the home of god
and good people symbolizes a place or state very quiet happiness, in fact gives nothing to the peoples stay in its bellow. Here construes the paradox description of
this lyric describing the critic of the speaker to the Vietnam War. Based on the above examples, the writer concludes how imagery and figure of
speech construct the concept of peace considered as the research finding of this thesis.
In chapter III, the writer can see how figure of speech helps to deliver the messages covered within the lyric, the speaker used the allusion
84
to build the meaning far more what its says as seen in following lines “…John and Yoko, Timmy
Leary, Rosemary, Tommy smothers, Bob Dylan, Tommy Cooper, Derek Taylor, Norman Mailer, Allan Ginsberg, Hare... .”
The row of that name related to the icon of 1960s, gave contribution such as thought, information, opportunity to produce
works of art, entertain etc. The words that used in the first stanza of this lyric “…bagism, shagism, dragism, madism, ragism, tagism this-ism, that-ism...”
embody a particular philosophy or set of principles, or an individual preoccupation or way of
life. The word bagism for example is a place for fans of John Lennon and The
Beatles to come together and learn, educate, and have fun. It is an interactive site meaning that you will have to be an active participant rather than just being a passive
observer. The underlying concept of John and Yokos bagism idea is interactivity among people without prejudice.

In other words, it symbolizes the intimacy among people.
The other examples could refer to the personification appeared in lines 19 and 30 of Wind of Change “…storm wind that will ring the freedom bell for peace of
mind...” The speaker attributes the human characteristic with the storm wind that can
ring the freedom bell for peace of mind.

Allusion is a reference to something in history or previous literature-is, like richly
constitutive word or symbol, a means of suggesting for more then it says to build the meaning far more what its says. Perrine, loc. cit., 101.

While, the symbol appearing in lyric Under the Same Sun, the speaker uses the word morning and evening to build the natural situation. Both of these words give
the freshness and peaceful exciting impression to the reader’s mind. The word morning
describes the beautiful sunset fading shadows one by one that is shattered by gun immediately. Meanwhile, the word gun is also regarded as a symbol describing
the war situation seen from the following lines “…Heard a scream, saw him fall, no one cried”
and “…Fading shadows one by one We watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice.”
From some proposed lines above, the writer can see the turpitude of war. Finally, by analysing the imageries and figures of speech of those lyrics, the
writer concludes that those lyrics construct the concept of peace that is the situation without war and the people could be very close like brothers.
B. SUGESTION
The thesis entitled Figure of Speech and Imagery Analysis on The Beatles and Scorpions Lyrics: Imagine, Give Peace a Chance, Wind of Change, Under the Same
Sun is one of many exertions to find the news treasure in literature and this thesis
hoped could giving the appreciation to literature itself. The writer suggests those who are interested in studying about lyrics,
especially in The Beatles and Scorpions lyrics, they can use many approaches such as figure of speech and imagery in comprehending the context and message of their
works. And, anyone who is interested in studying of grasping deeper about their lyrics may use more approaches than the writer has that related to the intrinsic or
extrinsic element of poem have, because the lyric is a part of poem its self.
The discourses of any authors, readers and appreciators upon the literary works in websites, and books and discourses are some helpful to accomplish this
thesis.
