Pelkey's anchoring of the semiotic square in embodiment is excellent news for cognitive literary theory, a dynamic field still in search of itself. However, his validation of the square, though theoretically unexceptionable, suffers in the execution, for his interpretation of the country song "Follow your Arrow" is less successful. The present article benefits from Pelkey's validation as it organizes a tool of cultural-semantic analysis (CS-tool) as a 'deviant' semiotic square. The article then shows how this particular semiotic square allows us to analyze the song in terms which build on Pelkey's analysis, but also arrive at more satisfying results. Where Pelkey sees liberation in the song and the square, the tool uncovers manipulation in the former and closure in the latter. The article then assesses the complementarity of and differences between the two squares: Pelkey works on a local sentence-level through direct implicature, thus following the narrative/authorial voice of the poem. The CS-tool starts from a position of higher abstraction requiring a less defined, but still sufficient and more wide-ranging, three-step implicature. This allows the tool to step back from the song's authorial voice and uncover its manipulations. The article closes by discussing the deviant features of the present square
