Theme in “Brave” Metaphor Contribution to the Theme of the Song

Dead metaphor and live metaphor have their own contribution to create the theme of the song. The meaning of live metaphors are found by comparing the literal meaning in dictionary and the context of the song, so it can be transferred and transformed new meaning as metaphors. The meaning of them can give some elements to form an angle of the story of the song, and finally create one theme for each song. As those metaphors already explained in chapter IV, theme can be developed by the metaphors contribution and the whole lyrics meaning. The theme of the songs are the goal for this study. Th e theme for “Brave” is “Be Brave to speak the truth ”, the theme for “Love Song” is “Heartache in relationship”, the theme for “king of Anything” is “Self-centered Lover”, the theme for “gravity” is “Failed to move on ”, and the theme for “Manhattan” is “Giving up in a relationship”. In the end of this study, the writer hopes that the goal of this study has reached which will make the listeners get clearer meaning of 5 Sara Breailles’s songs. 58 BIBLIOGRAPHY American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language.
