the words of a song

The words of a song that a person sings.

نمط الاستخدام: the lyrics to [a song]
خطأ شائع:
Learners often confuse the singular and plural forms. In modern English, people almost always say "the lyrics" (plural), not "the lyric", when they mean the words of a song. Another common confusion is between "lyrics" (words) and "music" or "melody" (the tune).
المرادفات
words (Very general; refers to any words, not only those of songs.) | songwords (Less common and more informal; used mainly to make clear that the words belong to a song.) | libretto (A technical term for the complete text of an opera or musical, usually longer and more formal than typical lyrics.)
الأضداد
melody (Refers to the tune or musical notes of a song, which are the opposite component to the lyrics (the words).)

short poem of personal feeling

A short poem that shows strong personal feelings, often in a musical way.

نمط الاستخدام: a lyric about [a feeling/topic]
خطأ شائع:
Learners may think "lyric" always means the words of a song. In literature, a "lyric" is a type of poem, not necessarily meant to be sung. They may also confuse "lyric poem" with longer narrative poems such as ballads or epics, which tell stories rather than focus on a single feeling or moment.
المرادفات
poem (General term; a lyric is a specific type of poem that focuses on personal feelings rather than story or description.) | ode (A kind of lyric poem, usually more formal and ceremonial in tone.)
الأضداد
epic (An epic is a long narrative poem that tells a story, often with heroic events, which contrasts with the short, personal nature of a lyric.)

poetic, musical, emotional in style

Describes language, art, or music that sounds like poetry and shows deep personal feelings in a beautiful way.

نمط الاستخدام: a lyric [poem/style/passage/voice]
خطأ شائع:
Learners often use "lyrical" instead of "lyric". In many contexts this is acceptable and more natural. However, in fixed phrases like "lyric poetry" or "lyric soprano", the correct form is usually "lyric", not "lyrical".
المرادفات
lyrical (More common in modern English; used in the same way, but often slightly broader, for any expressive, emotional style.) | poetic (General term for language with strong imagery or rhythm; may lack the explicitly emotional, song-like quality implied by "lyric".)
الأضداد
prosaic (Describes language or style that is plain, ordinary, or lacking poetic or emotional qualities, the opposite of a lyric style.)

relating to song words

About the written words of a song, not the music.

نمط الاستخدام: a lyric [video/sheet/website]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse "lyric video" with "music video". A lyric video mainly shows the words of the song on the screen, while a music video usually tells a visual story or shows the artist performing.
المرادفات
song-text (Much less common; sometimes used in technical or descriptive contexts for the written words of a song.)
الأضداد
instrumental (Describes music with no singing or song words, the opposite of something focused on lyrics.)
