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

See Royalties

Currently, there are many websites featuring song lyrics (e.g. www.lyrics.com). 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. Today there are several organizations that operate in the lyric licensing field (e.g. Gracenote™ & LyricFind™) that can provide legally licensed lyrics, which can be used online with permission from their respected owner publishers.

What kind of lyrics does the population of the world like to hear?
Q. I've been writing lyrics for a while, and my main influences are Nirvana, Soundgarden, The Beatles, etc. A lot of the people say that what I write is to depressing which doesn't appeal to the biggest population. If you do plan on making it anywhere that your music should appeal to the people of today, and what the bigger population of them listen to. Should I stick with what I write or try for something else? Just give your opinion that's all I really wanted. Thanks.

What are the lyrics to Salvation is Created by Chesnokov?
Q. I realize that it is in Russian, however, what is the English translation of this song? I absolutely love listening it, and I know the background to it, very haunting, but not knowing specifically what the lyrics are is bothering me a bit. Does anyone know?

Who plays Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana? I thought Ashley-Olsen played Miley Cyrus, and Mary-Kate played Hannah Montana. Am I right or is it the other way.
