  Badhilillaadhadhaal thodarugiraen!
  
  I dunno how to classify this, but have you noticed how some lyricists switch from orumai to panmai in the same song?
  
  For example, in the song saalaiyoaram soalai onru vaadum (Payanangal Mudivadhillai), amidst that beautiful flow, vairamuththu introduces a stupid line: neengal ennaip paarththaal kuliredukkum, that stops the flow and makes you ponder whether that usage was incongruous. Call it poetic justice!
  
  There are other places where a poet introduces a lie that just blends beautifully into the lyrics.
  Like in: nalam nalamariya aaval - UN
  nalam nalamariya aaval
  NEE ingu sugamae NAAN angu sugamaa
  
  UN nalamariya aaval enru sollivittu nee ingu sugamae enru sonnaalum, eppadi en ennam angae ulladhoa adhaepoal un ennamum ingae ulladhaa enru vinavuvadhupoal ulladhaal, dhaaraalamaaga aetrukkolla vaendiya idam idhu enru naan ennugiraen.
  
  Change this topic into a discussion of poetic justice in songs, if you wish.
