  • Dual-Meaning Chorus
rdfs:comment
  • This is a Music Trope where the chorus is intentionally written to have two or more interpretations, frequently a literal one and a metaphorical or spiritual one. Each verse sets up a new and different interpretation for the chorus. Done well, it makes the audience say, "Ohh, that puts it in a whole new light." A staple of country music, but not exclusive to it. Can also show up in poems that have a repeating refrain. Compare Dark Reprise. Often overlaps with Age Progression Song. Subtrope of Double Meaning. Examples of Dual-Meaning Chorus include:

A staple of country music, but not exclusive to it. Can also show up in poems that have a repeating refrain. Here we're just including cases where the chorus remains mostly identical, with maybe a few small changes. In some cases the lyrics don't clearly have multiple meanings by themselves, but the meanings are suggested by the accompanying video. Compare Dark Reprise. Often overlaps with Age Progression Song.
