song lyrics can have one or more of these four puposes:
- To tell a story and create a narrative
- To engage the audince and to get people to relate to them
- To set up the scene
- To convey a message thrpugh the song
Some lyrics have a big effect on the music video and its narrative others can completly contridict them.
An example of a song thats narritive completly follows the words in the song is Friday by Rebecca Black where everything she sings about can be seen around her.
The second example is of pink's faimly portrait where the video echos the words but on a lot less obviouse level with much more sutle nods to the lyrics in the video.
