Anyone into writing songs and can give any advice on how to improve?
Tried it the other day as a way to write about my mental health - almost like a journal - and I’m really enjoying it, especially the track i’m about to show. I’m not very good at writing but the lyrics are very close to my heart and how I am as a person.
Today i’ve written my best so far, it’s about when i opened up about feeling bad and getting support from my closest peers:
I fucking hate who I’ve been, who I am,Feeling like I’m drowning without a damn plan.But speaking it out loud, it’s freeing somehow,Like maybe I’m allowed to start over now. Your words cut through the noise in my brain,“I’m here for you; don’t carry this pain.”For the first time, I let someone see,The chaos, the hurt that’s swallowing me.
I said I’m lost, I said I’m done,I’m tired of the fight I’ve never won.But you didn’t turn, didn’t walk away,You stayed, and heard every word I couldn’t say.When I’m falling apart, and I’m out of control,You noticed the cracks and carried my soul.
if you want to hear what i envision it to be in a song, you can hear a snippet that i chucked in an AI song generator here
Any advice on how i could improve from this? Thanks.
