the trouble with lyrics....
i'd like to write lyrics for an up-coming show, but the problem is that i'm not even quite sure what i want to say, and how to say it. do i hammer people's psyches? do i write something dark and eloquent? do i utilize dark humor found in b-rated horror movies?
maybe ideally i should incorporate all of those traits. but then no matter the direction, there's always the writing part. i'm good at writing prose. it makes sense, it's fluid, and i'm pretty good at it. lyrics/poetry on the other hand have always been difficult. it's hard to set the tempo, to know where to break the lines, and whether or not the damn thing should rhyme.
2 weeks! which isn't that bad, but i still have to finish the music.....
