lyric video
Words on screen
A lyric video is a music video that displays the song's lyrics on screen, synchronized with the audio.
Unlike traditional music videos featuring performers or narratives, lyric videos use text as the primary visual element, often with animated typography or simple backgrounds.
They became popular on YouTube as promotional releases before official videos: The band dropped a lyric video while filming the real one.
