In this article, the method used descriptive qualitative and analyses using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory, which discusses the concepts of denotation and connotation. According to Barthes' concept, a denotative sign consists of a signifier and a signified, but it also functions as a connotative sign. This means that the connotative sign not only has an additional meaning, but also consists of both parts of the denotative sign on which it is based. The results of this study reveal that there are ten song lyrics that contain denotative meaning and sixteen song lyrics that contain connotative meaning.
