A simple definition of lyrics is a set of words that make up a song. However, a more precise definition is that of "singing to the lyre" from the Greek word "lyrikos". This is where the word lyrics is derived. Meanings of lyrics can be hidden, obvious, explicit, or implicit. Some lyrics are abstract, or almost unintelligible. In 1876, the word lyric was first used to mean the "words of a song". Lyrics can be a form of social commentary. Lyrics can be about any subject dear to the human heart, such as love. Sometimes lyrics encompass political or economic subjects, themes, and messages.
