Composing Lyrics
Night Rocker:
i say, pick and damn thing and start making lyrics to it. Insperation: walk in a park, overheard conversations on a bus, subway, ect. Stay up 24 hours and make a song after you go to sleep. Or just go to the old fall back and get stoned and write songs about it
remember kids, drugs are bad!
donovangelonardo:
Make your lyrics whimsical, but with dark undertones. Maybe it'll satisfy your urge for gravity and levity at the same time. Do I have any examples or practical advice? Nope. Just lofty suggestions :-D
Rubby:
You can make light of any situation if you try.
ruyi:
get really sleep deprived with your bandmates and do stupid things together.
Scytale:
Hmm I used to play Doom, so the process I used when writting is probably no good for you, I would try to compose the music first and aim for a certain "vibe", then I'd write lyrics targeted towards that "feeling". When it came to the delivery of the lyrics I was lazy and just delivered them in a droning monotone suited to the tempo of the music. When inspiration was hard to come by I'd quote Neitszche or Kierkegaard, its unoriginal and cliche as hell but...
LSD helped the Beatles out, probably not the answer though.
