It examined the data in the text using the descriptive qualitative method. The data was song lyrics from Coldplay's album, which has nine songs. The information was compiled into a single song lyric. As a result, each word would be linked to the other words that have a relationship. Also, one lexical relation discovered would be listed in one song lyric.
