Have you heard of 'quotations'?

Plenty of works quote and cite other copywritten works and it's considered transformative because usually the work is building upon or commenting on the quote.

Yes, and plenty of people write criticisms of entire song lyrics or poems, effectively republishing the entire thing.

This is actually a huge area of debate on Youtube as Google often errs on your side of the argument (they can choose to demonetize whatever they want), even if they work is technically not infringing.
