    Abstract
    The title of this paper is “A Description of Metaphor in Adhitia Sofyan‟s Selected Songs”. This paper was aimed to examine the metaphors found in Adhitia Sofyan's songs. The data used in this paper were Adhitia Sofyan's song lyrics taken from four different albums: Quiet Down (2009), Forget Your Plans (2010), How to Stop Time (2014), and Silver Painted Radiance (2016). This paper concluded that the chosen song lyrics contain three types of metaphors based on Lakoff and Johnson's theory, which are structural, orientational, and ontological metaphors. In addition, the meaning of each metaphor found in Adhitia Sofyan‟s song by the use of metaphors are mostly about love, including love towards a sweetheart, an ex-girlfriend, a mother, and God. Metaphors are also used to express feelings such as loneliness, regrets, hope, and despair.
