Abstract

Through Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis, this article investigates the meaning of savior in the lyrics of Nadin Amizah’s song “Bertaut.” The definition presented encompasses denotation, connotation, and myth. Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory is used in this study to explain the denotation, connotation, and myth of the importance of “savior” in the song’s lyrics. The research approach employed is an interpretative qualitative interpretive inductive mode of thinking, thus moving from the specific to the general. The data collecting technique used is document study, which entails tracing and obtaining data from numerous sources. The findings show that the denotative meaning of the song “Bertaut” lyrics is the author’s life tale, and his mother acts as his saviour who always loves him, and becomes his guide. The meaning is about the harsh life of the author who has no friends, is given harsh words, and how his life is broken and loses direction. However, his mother protects him from all of these things, forcing him to survive and rely on his mother for his life. The songwriter wishes to express the essence of the belief that the saviour is the one we require to face life’s challenges.
