The Haunting Muse: A Dance with Edgar Allan Poe

Teya & Salena's song "Who The Hell Is Edgar?" is a playful and imaginative exploration of the creative process, personified through the ghost of the famous poet Edgar Allan Poe. The lyrics humorously depict the idea of being possessed by Poe's spirit, which grants the narrator an extraordinary ability to write compelling lyrics. This metaphorical possession highlights the mysterious and often inexplicable nature of artistic inspiration, suggesting that creativity can feel like an external force taking over one's mind and body.

The repeated references to Poe, along with the catchy chant of his name, emphasize the surreal and almost absurd nature of the situation. The song also touches on the struggles and aspirations of artists, as seen in lines like "Maybe I should call a doctor or an exorcist" and "Girl, call Universal, you're about to be a star." These lines reflect the desire for recognition and success in the music industry, while also poking fun at the lengths to which one might go to achieve fame.

The lyrics take a satirical turn towards the end, with the mention of "Zero dot zero zero three," a reference to the minuscule earnings artists often receive from streaming services. This critique of the music industry's financial realities adds a layer of social commentary to the song, highlighting the disparity between the creative effort put into making music and the monetary rewards received. The playful tone and catchy melody make the song both entertaining and thought-provoking, inviting listeners to reflect on the nature of creativity and the challenges faced by artists in the modern world.
