An Analysis of the Phenomena of Limerence and Learned Helplessness in the Lyric Narrative of the Song 'Sewindu': A Phenomenological Study
Kajian Fenomenologis atas Dinamika Emosi, Obsesi Cinta, dan Resignasi dalam Teks Lirik
Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi representasi psikologis dari kondisi limerence dan learned helplessness (ketidakberdayaan yang dipelajari) dalam lirik lagu "Sewindu" karya Tulus. Sebagai salah satu karya musik populer paling berpengaruh di Indonesia, "Sewindu" menawarkan narasi mendalam tentang pengabdian romantis yang tidak terbalas selama delapan tahun. Dengan menggunakan metode Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), penelitian ini membedah makna subjektif di balik bait-bait lirik untuk mengidentifikasi pola obsesi kognitif dan kepasifan emosional. Hasil analisis menunjukkan adanya tiga tema utama: (1) Intruksi kognitif dan fiksasi emosional yang mencerminkan fase limerence; (2) Stagnasi perilaku akibat persepsi ketiadaan kontrol (learned helplessness); dan (3) Krisis identitas akibat ketergantungan emosional yang berkepanjangan. Temuan ini memberikan kontribusi pada studi psikologi sastra dan musikologi dengan menyoroti bagaimana budaya populer merepresentasikan kerentanan kognitif dalam relasi interpersonal.
