Philosophically: I think deja vu is a reminder that there's more to life than the normal day to day things and gets you thinking about life's deeper questions.
Cognitively: deja vu is a strong feeling that you know you saw or somehow experienced an event before which you're experiencing right now. So either a) you dreamed about it before and predicted the future, but forgot you had that dream until the moment happens b) you saw it before incarnation in time/space and recall it when the moment happens c) its just a random feeling where you think it happened before but it really didn't and you're just experiencing a normal event.
Musically: Deja Vu is an album by Cosby, Stills, Nash & Young featuring the AMAZING song Carry On, which I highly recommend listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP0VBB7BO64
It's cool that you made this topic today because just yesterday actually I had an awesome deja vu experience, after months of not having any deja vu. Usually I feel it right after something happened, or while in a stream of doing something seemingly automatic that I seemingly can't control. Yesterday someone sent me an instant message and I was about to respond and realized the message they sent and the one I wanted to reply with was a deja vu - but I didn't reply! I exercised my free will and changed something which some people would assume is predetermined. Then half an hour or an hour later I had another deja vu, having two that quickly is remarkable in and of itself because usually I have gaps of months between them, but once again I didn't do what I was "supposed to" and instead told someone that it happened again, but after I typed that I realized that THAT was also a deja vu. So it seems that sometimes if you "break" a deja vu another one is waiting implying multiple routes of predetermination (if that is in fact what deja vu is showing). Very cool experience, I think its a sign that I'm more consciously in control of, and aware of, my unconscious mind.
