Essay from the year 2024 in the subject American Studies – Miscellaneous, University of Potsdam (Anglophone Modernities in Literature and Culture), course: Reading Song Lyrics (Critically), language: English, abstract: When various accounts of meaning, all with valid backdrops, are being lumped together, which one remains true? This is a question that will be reflected upon in this short essay by taking a more in-depth look at Out Kast’s ‘Hey Ya!’. The song has been interpreted in various ways due to the lack of listener attentiveness and André 3000 challenging comprehensive efforts towards the lyric’s meaning. The essay will investigate the interrelation between text and meaning in music, hinting at the notion that meaning itself can vary in texts and that relying on one singular, true point the author wants to get across can be misleading.
