Abstract:
This research deals with studyingthe interpretation of implicit meaning in the
billionaire song lyrics. The data of this research is in the form of written text or
transcription of song lyrics. By using qualitative descriptive research methods.
From the results of this study, it was found that there are three implicit meanings
including implicit referential meaning, implicit organizational meaning, and
implicit situational meaning. There are 49 song lyrics analysed through the
application of Larson's theory, data reduction, data presentation, and significant
conclusion drawing. The results of this study show that implicit referential meaning
totals 17 song lyrics, implicit organizational meaning totals 15 song lyrics and
implicit situational meaning totals 17 song lyrics. The reason implicit meaning is
used in Billionaire song lyrics is to recognize that there are many ambiguous words
contained in the Billionaire song lyrics. The interpretation of Billionaire song lyrics
is that Bruno Mars and Travie McCoy want to have a lot of money and become a
Billionaire and the money is not used for their interests but also want to use the
money to help people who are in trouble.
