Think you could help me out? I don't think it's a good idea. My art comes from a dark place. But if you're okay with that, here we go:

1) Think like a Ham Actor. It seems stupid, but it goes a long way with adding a kinda dream like feel to your words

2) Think about what you're writing about but put the scenes of it out of order. Like if it's a show and Joe went to the store after talking to Sally. Then rework it like Inception the movie. Make it so Joe got out of bed, and his room is the store, Sally is the clerk and their conversation is going on while she rings him up.

3) Make sure to be yourself. No matter how odd or sexual or angry the tone of the lyrics get, keep going. You might hate it but let it out. Sometimes coming back to it a day later with fresh eyes can help too.

4) When I write I like to think of love, loss, martial arts, adventure and the void of a black hole. Try picturing things the symbolize key things you like or that go with what you're writing and it will help you find symbolism. It also helps to put those key things to a word or image. Like for me a sexy voluptuous woman hugging me surrounded by darkness repeating my lyrics back to me is something of an imagery I often come back to. I call it/she The Muse.

5) Lastly, because I like doing things by fives, no matter how much you feel it's bullshit. Power through and write even on days you feel you have writers block. Trust me. Not writing doesn't help. If you take a break from it, you will eventually NEVER go back to it. You'll end up playing games, or going to work, some papers will end up piling up over what you wrote. You'll forget about it, is what I'm saying. And if you remember it, you'll be lazy or unenthusiastic to return to it.

@Spirited: You been keeping track of me? Do you know what the exact day it was when I hit "fuck it"? If so you're living proof of my efforts to befriend and connect people. That said. Got a boyfriend, maybe?
