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 known as a librettist.

Copyright and royalties

Currently, there are many websites featuring song lyrics. This offering, however, is controversial, since some sites include copyrighted lyrics offered without the holder's permission. The U.S. Music Publishers' Association (MPA), which represents sheet music companies, launched a legal campaign against such websites in December 2005, the MPA's president, Lauren Keiser, said the free lyrics web sites are "completely illegal" and wanted some website operators jailed.

How do you start writing lyrics?
Q. I need to write 2 songs (lyrics, but chords optional) for a music assignment. I get ideas and write them down sometimes, but nothings really inspirational to me.

A. Hi Bella, Are you writing to a melody, or do you have free reign? Does it have to be a particular structure (verse-chorus-verse-choru s, etc), or can you do whatever you wish with it? Here's what I'd suggest: The biggest hurdle in writing great lyrics is coming up with an interesting idea and angle to write about. The following info should help you come up with better ideas. Step One: Decide what you want to communicate to the listener- What do you want your listener to feel? Do you want them to sympathize with you? Would you like them to take some sort of action?
