This study aims to describe the forms and meanings of figurative language found in the lyrics of Lihat Kebunku (Taman Bunga) by Aku Jeje. This research uses a semantic approach with a descriptive qualitative method. The data source is the song Lihat Kebunku (Taman Bunga) released by Aku Jeje in September 2025. The research data consist of words, phrases, and expressions containing figurative meanings. Data were collected through listening and note-taking techniques, while data analysis was conducted through identification, classification, interpretation, and description based on the context of the lyrics. The results show that the song lyrics employ several forms of figurative language, particularly metaphor and personification. Metaphors are represented through natural elements such as gardens, flowers, and jasmine to describe emotional relationships, loved ones, and inner spaces. Personification appears through the depiction of natural elements as if they possess human abilities or actions. The lyrics also contain expressions with symbolic and connotative meanings. The use of figurative language conveys affection, loss, sadness, acceptance, and hope for the happiness of someone who has left. Therefore, figurative meaning in the song functions not only as an aesthetic element but also as a means of expressing emotional experiences indirectly.
