Abstract: A linguistic stylistic analysis was implemented upon the lyrics of OASIS’ British singles which were released between 1994 and 1997. The primary approach of this study is to investigate the use of figurative language, rhyme, and repetition, in order to justify the stylistic devices of the songwriter. Context and other interviews about selected singles were taken into account for greater understanding of meaning of lyrics. The accounts were seven singles ; Live Forever, Supersonic, Wonderwall, Some Might Say, Don’t Look Back In Anger, Stand By Me, and Rock ‘N’ Roll Star, which were very popular and successful during the years of Britpop history. The data was analyzed by using discourse analysis method. Findings showed that metaphor is most frequently used to describe meaning in various kinds of concepts. In addition, masculine rhyme and repetition are significant phonetic devices that make lyrics sound smooth and also highlight the important messages in the verses. More importantly, these stylistic strategies reflected the songwriting style of the songwriter of OASIS that are interestingly performed in a variety of context
