Abstract

The goal of this study is to look at how Taylor Swift uses figurative
language in her song All Too Well (10 Minutes Version). The primary
purpose of this study is to discover the meaning behind the figurative
language used in song lyrics. A descriptive qualitative method was used
to collect the data. There are various kinds of figurative language
applied to express meaning in the song, but the writer only focuses on
two of them, namely personification and simile. To summarize the
analysis, the song's figurative language, which draws on personification
and simile, creates an effective tool for portraying the story's deep and
sensitive emotions, such as sense of loss, emptiness, and sadness.
