the words of a song
The words of a song that a person sings.
Corak penggunaan:
the lyrics to [a song]
Kesilapan biasa:
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).
Sinonim
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.)
Antonim
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.
Corak penggunaan:
a lyric about [a feeling/topic]
Kesilapan biasa:
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.
Sinonim
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.)
Antonim
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.
Corak penggunaan:
a lyric [poem/style/passage/voice]
Kesilapan biasa:
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".
Sinonim
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".)
Antonim
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.
Corak penggunaan:
a lyric [video/sheet/website]
Kesilapan biasa:
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.
Sinonim
song-text (Much less common; sometimes used in technical or descriptive contexts for the written words of a song.)
Antonim
instrumental (Describes music with no singing or song words, the opposite of something focused on lyrics.)
