The research aims to reveal heuristic hermeneutic, and interpret the meaning in the lyrics of Yoru ni Kakeru song. The study uses semiotics studies proposed by Michael Riffaterre and the methods of this study uses qualitative descriptive. The result of the analysis showed the sadness experience by boku of the song Yoru ni Kakeru and the sadness continue until he decided to committed suicide with kimi. In the continuity of expression using metaphors and personification; on the deviation of meaning there is ambiguity, nonsense, and contradiction in the form of paradox; then on the creation of meaning through repetition of irregular lines and rhymes. The matrix of this song is sadness and the model of this song is the sadness of boku. There are 3 variants, such as; the first variant is boku sadness when he feels the effort is in vain, the second variant is boku sadness that has given up on kimi's attitude, and the third variant is boku sadness that agrees to committed suicide with kimi. The hypogram between Yoru ni Kakeru’s song and Thanatosu no Yuuwaku’s short story is equal to depicting the grief that ends in suicide.
