when you write lyrics do you just write whatever, or is there a certain place or "muse" you draw from? I often struggle writing lyrics to songs that I write.
the lyric and music are written at the same time. in rare cases, there may be bits of melody first. in which case the main muse is probably the melody. but usually the lyric and melody are born at the exact same time. in that case, often for a muse i will imagine a visual scene or setting, like imaginging a video, and then see what happens next, and break into song
