Song lyrics are modern day poetry. They are deep and beautiful and insightful, but written in a more current and understandable way. Maybe that’s why people enjoy listening to music rather than reading poetry. They like the feeling of understanding what it is they are reading/listening to. It gives them a sense of knowledge, of being sophisticated and intelligent, giving them confidence in their intellectual gifts. We can’t fault them though, we all want to feel smart and capable.
