Composing Lyrics
TrueNeutral:
See, I have the exact opposite. I couldn't be serious if I wanted to. I have songs about penguins, sockpuppets and contageous smiling.
The only serious lyrics I ever wrote was after a Mother Love Bone binge when I wanted to write something in tribute to Andrew Wood.
The way I went about writing lyrics, I would go through all the pictures in my harddrive and write down thoughts that those gave me. For example, I wrote a song called "It Hurts N Stings" about nettles, but it was originally inspired by an avatar I made of an 'Elf Only Inn' comic.

I agree with this.
Luke:
I wait for a random bombshell of inspiration. The last song I wrote came to me when I was taking a shower at 10:30 at night, the lyrics having been minutely inspired from a movie I'd watched two nights prior.
There is no rhyme or reason to my inspirations, but the results are just fantastic.

This reminded me, you will ALWAYS have ideas in the shower, toilet, on the bike/in the car and possibly in bed. I suggest you keep a small notebook or something near so you can write it down when it hits you/you finish your business.
Misereatur:
And make sure it's water-proof.
