Writing tip... (lyrics, albums, artist, songs)

RezZ · 11-24-2007, 11:38 PM

I have been writing for a long time, and well in my opinion non literal songs are much better.

What i mean by this is when everyone posts there lyrics here, yes they make sense, and are understandable..but they lack thought and creativity from the writing and listening aspect. A good song does not outwright tell you what it is talking about, it lets you figure it our yourself hrough metaphores or anything else that would infer a real meaning.

Maybe its just me, but i feel thats much better than just saying exactly what you mean. No song is about one thing, its supposed to be what the listener makes it.

i agree totally! music should be made so that everytime to you listen to the lyrics, a new meaning could be used. Like yes, theres always a literal meaning. But the best albums are the ones where you have to sit there and think about everything it could mean and since everyone could have a different interpretation, the song becomes that much more versatile and artistic.

I agree music is much better when you can sit, listen, and figure out what point they are trying to get across
