Thread Name: Complex metaphors in lyrics?
Subject: RE: Complex metaphors in lyrics?
Um, y'all are too quick for me. I just wanted to question whether the structural relation posted was really a syllogism. A syllogism involves logical concept relations like if/then, the little U-shape, reclining, and if and only if, and such, not the math equals sign used as shorthand for a metaphorical relationship. I'm still trying to think of a subject to big for song. It's easier to think of songs so petty they don't have a need to be sung. fred
