Abstract

“Menjaring Matahari” is one of the hit songs by Ebiet G Ade which was launched in 1987. This song explains that humans always need God in their lives. This study aims to describe the meaning of the lyrics of the song “Menjaring Matahari” about the elements of religiosity contained in it. To reveal the deep meaning and message of the author in the song lyrics, a poetic semiotic approach was used. The semiotic theory used to reveal meaning is Michael Riffatere’s semiotic approach to poetry with two ways of reading the text, namely heuristic reading and hermeneutic reading. Data collection was carried out through a literature study using listening and note-taking techniques. After the data was collected, it was analyzed using a poetry semiotics approach. The results of the analysis show that the lyrics of “Aku” and the community around it are experiencing big problems that they are unable to solve. In such conditions, I do not give up hope, but “Aku” have high hopes for God’s help.
