Figurative language is a type of language used to convey information beyond its literal meaning. The song lyrics of the composition contain figurative language expressions. The object of this study was the song lyrics Easy on Me by Adele. This study aimed to find out figurative languages types, the meanings of figurative language, and the implications of this study for student’s reading literacy. This study applied a descriptive research approach with documents as the analysis instrument. This study combed Easy on Me for song lyrics and scripts to collect data. Based on Perrine's (1969) categorization of figurative language, the results found that nine categories of figurative language were identified. There are 4 instances of personification (18.2%), 1 instance of metaphor (4.5%), 2 instances of hyperbole (9.1%), 2 instances of litotes (9.2%), 1 instance of paradox (4.5%), 1 instance of allusion (4.5%), one instance of ellipsis (4.5%), 2 instances of metonymy (9.1%), and 8 instances of the symbol (36.4%). The use of figurative language expressions in Easy on Me explicitly gives the emotions, fear, and devastation due to divorce and surrender. Also, some of the lyrics are interpreted in terms of the beauty and calm of nature. The implications of this study for student’s reading literacy, it is evident that the research holds significant educational value, enhancing students' comprehension of the meaning of English songs. Within this study, figurative language serves as a powerful mode of self-expression, particularly through the medium of songs. As literary works, songs have the ability to evoke deep emotions and offer a gratifying experience to listeners. However, true satisfaction can only be achieved when listeners fully grasp the songwriter's intended message. Keywords: figurative language, song lyrics, Adele, Easy on Me, discourse analysis, reading literacy.
