Cringy lyrics

They're not that bad, just kind of bland

The key, for me personally, to writing good lyrics is just not being on the fucking nose and using cliches. Just twist language a little, play with the words. And sometimes it can be lyrics like yours in the OP, OP. If it fits, has a nice rhythm and works with the music who gives a fuck.

Tbf, now I just write the lyrics after I've finished the chord progression and have a general feel for what I want it to be about, reading old stuff does actually make me want to end myself though at how try hard it was.

Gotta start somewhere

I used to write raps when I was inspired to by Odd Future and though I can't find them, surely they were god awful horrorcore lyrics. I had fun though and you learn something every time if you don't put yourself in a box.

The best place to start is realizing how shit you were or how shit you are. Most don't even think to that point, most people who write songs don't think beyond "I made this so it's good".

Scrap or rework the first 2 lines, rest are pretty good if you can form something around them

Did you hear the one about me?
I'm sure you heard it
It's funny
Tear haze
It goes:
He shoots himself a lot nowadays

That's not even that bad anon, I just don't understand the last two lines though ?

protip: all lyrics are cringey as fuck on paper

This, a lot of good songs have meh lyrics over nice instrumentation, and vice versa.

btw, I really like your lyrics OP, other than the second line. Don't know what kind of music you're making, but I'm imagining you rapping it for some reason, blame soundcloud idk.
So long at you aren't crooning this out over 3 chords on an acoustic I think you're good

This was junior year of high school. I had a crush on my English teacher. The title of my song was called "School Daze".
>"Hey hey, little foxy lady, tell me my ABCs"
>I need some discipline right now, get me on my knees."
>With them heels on, you stop on my brain, calm down"
>"I am the king of your detention, take me to town".

That's hilarious because you were almost 18 when you wrote that. Sounds like a bootleg version of "Wet Dreamz"

>>72432554
Lmao what is this a fucking glam rock song from the 80s?

>>72431484
>maybe I'm a stupid boy
If you can look back and laugh, that's good. Because that line is hilarious.

LOOK YOU CREATINS, I was going through some weird groove 70's, "We're Not Going to Take It" sort of phase back then. I'm much better now.

kudos for having a good sense of humor about it lol

I have a bunch of weird lyrics from my drug filled teenage years. Theyre all edgy and written about a girl i was in love with that rejected me to prom. theyre not horrible i guess, but id be damned if theyd made much sense at all.

>Stand atop the little shreds I've left
>Why are you denying?
>Plaster heresy onto my disposition
>Don't controvert meaning
>Of the times
>Of the times of black and soot stained lips
>I'm still holding on to it all

>A hum of the still things
>Makes me think of the beginning
>Wrapped so tight in my head
>Be through misery
>Or fleeting moments shared with the dark
>I'm okay to wait
>I know you love it when I do
>Prolong sanctity to the edge of my heart
>My darling, my darling make me dependent on you

>To recognize that of black and white
>You see every aspect masked
>This leaves me limited time
>When she figures it all out
>And when I stand to be of purpose
>I will slip unto baseless grasps
>To ever so try and prolong that which I know is hopeless

I listened to a lot of grindcore too lmao
