System and method for semantic analysis of song lyrics in a media content environment

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for semantic analysis and use of song lyrics in a media content environment. Semantic analysis is used to identify persons, events, themes, stories, or other meaningful information within a plurality of songs. For each song, a story graph is generated which describes a narrative within that song's lyrics. The story graph is then used to determine a feature vector associated with the song's narrative. In response to receiving an input vector, for example as a search input for a particular song track, the input vector can be matched against feature vectors of the plurality of songs, to determine appropriate tracks. Example use cases include the selection and delivery of media content in response to input searches for songs of a particular nature, or the recommendation or suggestion of media content in social messaging or other environments.
