Step 1 Brainstorm – which you did

Step 2 find some matching rhymes and get a sense of verse and chorus material

Rough Draft 1
Don't the demons, dont they want to let me go,
no they want to hide deep inside
and pull the strings to tear me apart
and darken my heart
i say its pain they swear its art.


exagerate thet wait fuelling the hate
that is my fate to forever wait.
chain me down, you can't be heard
but all i want is just your word,
a semblance of effection not inspiring infection
but a sense of direction; a loving correction
fulfilling connection.

alas i sit bone dry about to die so forever cry
when you lose I, you may die or so you lie.
What would you be without me other than fine?
what would i do without you other than die?
such uneven ground with a winner found and a loser bound.
what could i do to fix this hue, distorted view of flawless you.'

Step 3 Write the message of the song in one sentence.

Example
Message: Demons in me are destroying my life.

Step 4 Find a hook/chorus

Example
Pre-chorus
i swear in pain they swear its art.
They pull my strings; they tear me apart
Chorus
It’s the symphony of Hell
Symphony of Hell
Symphony of Hell
Symphony of Hell
Symphony of Hell

Step 5 Write the verses

Be sure to use sensory images and possible use the metaphor of the singer as an stringed instrument (guitar, violin etc).

Ask and answer questions of the singer’s story.

Where is he? Who is he singing to? How did he get in the situation? What is his motivation for the song? Is he asking for help from God or man…..or is he asking the demons to stop?
What is the demons’ response?

Step 6 Write a Bridge (if appropriate)
How would his life be different if he wasn’t suffering? What would he be doing? Helping others? Living for pleasure?

Possible song structure:

Intro- Verse- prechorus- Chorus- Verse- prechorus- Chorus- Bridge or Solo- Chorus

I’ll turn it back to you to have a go at filling in the music and lyric ideas.]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club jamestoffee https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/lyrical-help/#post-380355 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/lyrical-help/#post-380324 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 04:57:02 +0000
