Try writin down feelings. Not as lyrics, just how ur feelin.Then if u get stuck for a next line u can use those ideas. They wont sound fake if they're real feelings. It worked 4 me. And if u want 2 finish the song l8r then they can remind u of what u wer writin about

When using metaphors... don't get too carried away. If you start your song with no base, then nobody can realize what the metaphor stems from and it seems like pointless gibberish. One of the simplest examples that I can think of comes from a brand new song "you are the blood in my veins" that line is simple, understandable, but still requires some thought
Blood in your veins... you need blood to live or exist, therefor, I would not exist without you Once you think of it in those terms it becomes easier to use metaphors. hell... writing this and talking about blood and such gave me and Idea This is another generic love song About another broken heart With the vain intent That you'll attempt To listen good and hard This is just another kid His eyes bleeding salty rain Trying unsuccesfully to hide the scars she left beneath his chest (chrorus?) So this is a love song... And I'll present my pain in a way make clever and new it could never happen to you (please... please take this as the sarcasm it is) And this is another sheet of paper molested by the pen perverted to recieve some remnants of me not done... but anyway... this is a really rough few verses of a song I'm apparently writing. it's just inspiration, when you feel something stronger then usual or think of an apt metaphor for no reason, write it down, it could inspire you. so my advice is always keep some paper nearby. |
Woah, everyone else seems really good at this.
Whenever I do it I end up stabbing the page with my pen.. |
All the songs i read kick ass! Why do mine suck! I guess some ppl r born gifted n others r just born.

everybody writes differently. a lot of this advice is good, but people telling you how they write doesnt really help. just keep trying things until you find a way your comfortable with and happy with what your creating. dont write to please anyone else. write to express what your feeling to YOU. writeing doesnt have to be for the audiance. even if your writing for a band, nobody has to know exactly what you are writing about. the main thing is just please yourself.
