Elements of the lyrics to Accuracy are both direct in meaning and also metaphorical with the real meanings of the song only known by The Cure and any collaborating writers working on the lyrics for Accuracy back when it was created.

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to Accuracy by The Cure in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Accuracy" means the words set to the music of Accuracy, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Cure. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
