How do I write lyrics, I'm finding it really hard?
I really want to write about lust, love, lies, betrayal, friendship and life but every time I come up with one line, the next line is either really corny or too long for it to fit. Also I want it to be fu(ked up R n B like JMSN, Frank Ocean and The Weeknd, if that helps at all.
Is there anyway I can improve my lyric writing?
I want them to be chilling and striking, maybe a bit depressing because that's how I usually feel. Thanks for any answers :)
@Wick: So you're saying I should have my songs talk about another person from my perspective? I reckon I could do that
