The lyric book "works" because of how the principles of visual literacy are employed to emphasize the meaning of the words and enhance effect. The song itself has a lot of repetition, for example, "alone alone alone" and "show me show me show me", so the emphasis comes naturally. There is emphasis on certain words in the song, which is shown with a larger fonts, italics, different fonts, and colors. This is perhaps the most important principle of visual literacy in the lyric book. Symmetry and balance are also important because they guide the eye in reading the song, so that there is a natural flow.
