Another quick lyrics question

[tectak]

So, here's another likely-wrong idea I'm trying to talk myself out of:

The basic semantic unit of poetry is the word, whereas the basic semantic unit of lyrics is the colloquial phrase.

Dumb as it gets, or is there something to it?

Hi crow,
have you ever given serious thought to not thinking?
What meaning attaches to "colloquial" in your peculiar premise?
I have no idea what the question is about, or for, or even "is".
The sooner you give yourself a good talking to the sooner you can concentrate on the Grand Unification Theory...or get a parrot.
You wrote some good poetry.
Very best,
tectak
