What's the biggest thing you keep in mind when writing lyrics? I'm talking things like keeping it simple, leaving room for interpretation, stuff like that.
Also post stuff you've written if you're comfortable with that.

Anyone got any feedback for me?

Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang (Gucci gang)
Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang (Gucci gang)
Spend three racks on a new chain (yuh)
My bitch love do cocaine, ooh (ooh)
I fuck a bitch, I forgot her name (brr, yuh)
I can't buy a bitch no wedding ring (ooh)
Rather go and buy Balmains (brr)

I try not to write about myself because i'm too embarrassed, so I usually write more surreal sounding stuff with disconnected phrases about a certain subject.

Usually I think of some sort of melody and free verse something over it and either forget about what I said or write down the stuff that sounds cool. Then I forget about it. After a while, I'll return to it and come up with new lyrics and save the stuff I like most. Eventually I have enough stuff I like that I can make for complete lyrics. From that I trim it down to make it better.

Here's some lyrics I wrote.

Simple, little friend of mine
As we float throughout eternity
it reminds me
of my childhood fantasy

Always in this state of mind
As we billow
back and forth
between what we've seen
and what we're shown
we will never know

I could ever understand this feeling
of always being old
I could never understand the meaning
depsite always being told
because I have always been looking for something
something that I've never ever seen before
I would always be looking for something
something that I've never ever seen before
At least, not anymore

(pls don't judge too hard)

not writing about yourself is a good approach, I love surreal too
I don't know much about lyric writing (yet) but this seems alright, maybe a little unfocused?
was gonna tell you to suck my cock but this made me laugh, that being said suck my cock

honestly man you just gotta work to find your voice
don't try to sound like someone else, don't censor yourself based on how you think it'll be received

also, there's something to be said about prioritizing meaning or prioritizing the actual sounds of the word, try to understand how to use both

mostly just write a ton and try to stay loose

I would write
If I could stop
Imagining her name
in my handwriting

something i wrote today, still need a title and another bridge but yknow


what an ugly day you say, you're hiding on the inside
nighttime coming grey, we're gonna curl by the fire
what an ugly way to say you're hurting on the inside
but insides are okay so come and curl by the fire

lights on, you better come home
the lights on, it's open
lights on, you better just go
the lights on, it's open

all I see's really all I see
as I watch them run, the running team
pretty thing, or it seems to be
as I watch them run away from me

Thanks for the lyrics senpai. You've been bambozzled

I'm a 6'2", white guy with above average intelligence that wears a sweater everywhere and reads medical science textbooks for fun, so when I write lyrics it is mainly about the ineffable cosmic uncertainties of the universe that plague every educated mind and my day to day experiences in which I find I tend to make people feel very uncomfortable, perhaps as they understand how little they have achieved in life when standing next to me. Just be yourself.
