The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Who the Hell Is Edgar?" by the artist "Teya Salena"

The lyrics of the song "Who the Hell Is Edgar?" by Teya Salena use irony to portray the creative process as a possession by the spirit of Edgar Allan Poe.

The main character claims that she's not the one writing the lyrics, but "Edgar," the ghost of the famous writer who "possessed" her. This metaphor is used to emphasize the suddenness and power of inspiration, as well as the talent that seems to have come from outside.

The humorous effect is achieved by:

The absurdity of the situation: the protagonist is literally possessed by a ghost.

The contrast between the mystical possession and the pragmatic thoughts about money and copyright.

The repetition of the name "Poe" like an obsession.

The song can be seen on several levels:

1. Humorous: The surface layer, which causes laughter due to the absurdity of the situation.

2. Ironic: The author pokes fun at the desire to find easy paths to fame (possession as a source of talent).

3. Philosophical: It raises the question of the nature of creativity, the role of inspiration, and personal effort.

Ultimately, the song "Who the Hell Is Edgar?" is a funny reflection on where talent comes from, how it changes lives, and how important it is not to miss your chance at success, even if it comes in the form of the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe.

Oh my God, you're such a good writer

Oh, it's not me, it's Edgar

Who the hell is Edgar?

There's a ghost in my body and he is a lyricist

It is Edgar Allan Poe, and I think he can't resist

Yeah, his brain is in my hand, and it's moving really fast

Mhm

Don't know how he possessed me, but I'm happy that he did

'Cause this song is feeling special, and is gonna make me rich

Yeah, the words are spilling out, what the heck is this about?

Mhm

Oh, mio padre, there's a ghost in my body

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Maybe I should call a doctor or an exorcist

Maybe someone out there knows where Shakespeare is so I can get a taste
