SOUND SYSTEM

sound system." a song's lyrics contain meanings which reflect the physical characteristics of its instrument, or in other words, whether these musical qualities are apparent. For example: "You can't escape me/I'll find you / and take your life" (T-bone). However it may be possible to interpret certain melodies as having literal meaning because they have an expression derived from their instrumental accompaniment ("meh") rather than being meant literally by that part(s) played at any given time (or even for all three instruments alone.)
