This research used a qualitative interpretive. The research data were obtained from the lyrics. The data were collected using listening and note-taking technique. The results of the research are from hermeneutic reading in the lyrics “Kursi Goyang” is interpreted when someone is so focused on making money and thinks that happiness comes from having a lot of money and a high position that they forget to take a break. The results of the research are from hermeneutic reading in the lyrics “Larasuka” interpreted as how lonely someone feels, and from hermeneutic reading in the lyrics “Mangu” interpreted as a romantic relationship between individuals who have different religious beliefs.
