This study analyzes the figurative language used in two song albums: Born to Die (2012) by Lana Del Rey and reputation (2017) by Taylor Swift. This research aims to identify the figurative devices in the selected lyrics and compares how both artists apply them by using Perrine’s (2017) theoretical framework. Song lyrics serve as the main source of data in this qualitative study. The findings show that both albums contain various types of figurative language, including simile, metaphor, personification, apostrophe, metonymy, symbol, allegory, paradox, overstatement, understatement, and irony. Lana Del Rey frequently employs more symbolic and emotional imagery, often combining multiple figurative devices in a single line. Taylor Swift also employs diverse figurative forms but focuses more on narrative clarity and emotional contrast. The significant difference is that apostrophe appears only in Lana Del Rey’s lyrics. The study also identifies mixed figurative types. Lana Del Rey’s lyrics contain seven combinations, while Taylor Swift’s include six, showing how both artists use layered expressions but with different patterns. Overall, the comparison shows that figurative language in both albums strengthens their themes, emotions, and storytelling.
