the words of a song
The words of a song that a person sings.
사용 패턴：
the lyrics to [a song]
자주 하는 실수：
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).

|

short poem of personal feeling
A short poem that shows strong personal feelings, often in a musical way.
사용 패턴：
a lyric about [a feeling/topic]
자주 하는 실수：
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.
유의어
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.)
반의어
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.
사용 패턴：
a lyric [poem/style/passage/voice]
자주 하는 실수：
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".
유의어
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".)
반의어
prosaic (Describes language or style that is plain, ordinary, or lacking poetic or emotional qualities, the opposite of a lyric style.)
