Allusion in Songs

-
Hello peeps!

Now, I will give you an example about allusion in song. Okay first, what is allusion? Allusion is when a person or an author makes an indirect reference in speech, text, or song to an event or figure. The allusion are made for the past events or figures, but sometimes allusion are made for famous people or events. Allusions often make reference from previous works of literature, especially references from the Bible and Greek or Roman mythology.

So, here's the example:

Song : Lost Boy by Ruth B.

Lyrics:
    I am a lost boy from Neverland
    Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
    And when we're bored we play in the woods
    Always on the run from Captain Hook
    "Run, run, lost boy," they say to me
    Away from all of reality
Peter Pan (character) | Disney Wiki | Fandom


"Neverland", "Peter Pan", "Captain Hook", and "Lost Boy" are all references to the fairy tale "Peter Pan". This song tells about someone who is lonely but there is a figure of "Peter Pan" who accompanied him (lost boy). He is always invited to play and go to the forest as if far from reality. Now he becomes like a lost boy with Peter Pan. A lost boy who is free to do everything. That's the allusion meaning of Peter Pan. 


That's all from me!! Thank you!!!

From 23rd of December 2019 until 5th of January 2020, I didn't go out of town or vacation spot in Bandung. If I went outside, I just went to the church for worship. But at 30th of December 2019, I came to my friend's house to celebrated early new year eve. hahaha At home, I fill my holiday by did my hobbies.
