ResumoThe song with lyrics can be seen as a poetic text due to the evidence of figures of speech, images, and symbolism, as well as, phonetic resources that reflect the musicality of poetic language. In this sense, the post-punk revival band Interpol wrote No I in Threesome, the account of a persona trying to convince his significant other to have a threesome. This song includes the metaphor life is wine, which makes explicit the poetic value of the song. But not only that, the metaphor also shows how a statement, in this case a statement part of a literary text, can have different meanings.
