The phenomenon in which a word or phrase from a song being actively listened to coincides with the simultaneous appearance of the same word or concept in one’s immediate physical environment. This can occur in visual, auditory, or experiential forms, such as reading a word at the exact moment it is sung or witnessing an action as it is described in the lyrics. The experience often evokes a sense of significance, as if reality and music are momentarily synchronized in an unexpected yet meaningful way.
I experienced lyrical synchronicity today when I noticed someone staring at me and at the same time the song I was listening to said "I'll be watching you"
