There’s no shortage of apps, websites, and YouTube videos out there that provide you with lyrics to your favorite songs, but a service by the name of Genius (previously known as Rap Genius) separates itself from the rest by not only giving you the lyrics to songs, but also explaining what those lyrics mean. The service has been available on iOS and the web for a while but how has an official Android app as well.

You can find song lyrics on dozens of sites with varying levels of pop-up ads all over the internet. Genius, on the other hand, not only gives you song lyrics but helps break down what those lyrics mean. The service previously went by the name Rap Genius, though it’s now expanded to all musical genres. It’s been available on the web and iOS for a while, and now the company has released a brand new Android app. Even if you’re just looking for song lyrics, Genius is a much nicer experience than most sites that barrage you with ads. You can also explore user-contributed explanations about a song’s meaning and discuss them with others right from the song’s page.
