Lyrics (in singular form Lyric) are a set of words that make up a song.
The writer of lyrics is a lyricist or lyrist.
The meaning of lyrics can either be explicit or implicit.
Some lyrics are abstract, almost unintelligible, and, in such cases, their explication emphasizes form, articulation, meter, and symmetry of expression.
The lyricist of traditional musical forms such as Opera is as a librettist.
Lyric derives from the Greek word lyrikos, meaning "singing to the lyre".
A lyric poem is one that expresses a subjective, personal point of view.
The word lyric came to be used for the "words of a song"; this meaning was recorded in 1876.
The common plural (perhaps because of the association between the plurals lyrics and words), predominates contemporary usage.
Use of the singular form lyric remains grammatically acceptable, yet remains considered erroneous in referring to a singular song word as a lyric.
