SONG LYRIC IDEAS -  A New Approach

Have you ever written songs then left the song lyrics unfinished? Yes! We have too. If your discarded music and song lyrics left you feeling jaded about your own abilities, then its time to take a more analytical approach.  Ask what it was you didn’t like about what you wrote.  You may find that by making subtle changes to the music and words, or writing the lyrics out in full leaving spaces between for changes, you may be able to see why it didn’t work. 

All song words on this page are a gift from us.  Each unfinished lyric is just a few lines long.  Try substituting key words, switching parts of the phrase around or looking for follow on lines.  However you decide to use them, we wish you success.  The list below may even prompt you to take a second look at your own unfinished lyrics. 

 

1.        I can’t cope with boredom

           Cause I’m young enough to know what’s fun.

                       

2.        Feels just like snakes and ladders.

           We’ve jumped back to square one.

           Solve everybody’s problems.

           But cannot solve our own.

 

3.        Why is it only when you’re on a diet

           That you see food as a bad habit.

 

4.        You drew a line.

           I rubbed it out

           Eliminating fear and doubt.

           You took a step.

           I took one too.

 

5.        I need a bigger clock so I can have more time.

           I need to rest my case remove the burdens from my life

 

6.        Sometimes my head is overflowing.

           Words are coming words are going.

           But I’m not that kind  of girl

           Brave enough to face the cruel world with my songs.

 

7.        With the world on my shoulders

           I can still stand tall

 

8.        Society has closed the door on every open mind

           It’s captured all the innocence and lost its reason to be kind

 

 9.       I’ m on an excursion

 Across the stars to find out who you are

 I understand

 My solemn pledge is grand

 To you my life is your hands

 

10.      Time for a change

 Let's look to tomorrow

 And forget yesterday

 Don’t rely on the now

 Realize importance

 It’s the matter at hand

 The future is waiting

 Time to make a stand

 

11.      What would it take to calm the hurt and the anger

           Before tragedy strikes and its too late

 

12.      Is there anybody out there?

           Is there anybody in here?

 

13.      Hazy mirrors don’t let you see

           What you really want to be.

 

14.      I’m heading for trouble

           And trouble’s heading for me.

 

15.      She stayed too long in the greenhouse.

           She grew out of her love for me.

 

16.      I’ve thought about it

           I’m ready now to change.

 

17.      It’s funny you should say that

           But nothing ever changes.

           Things may sometimes look different

           But it just rearranges.

 

18.      Empty bottles and broken dreams.

           Alcohol proof happiness evades you it seems.

 

19.      Just like a story from when I was a child,

           I woke up and it was all a dream.

 

20.      You say that I don’t understand.

           Tell me, then I’ll know.

 

21.      If I had three wishes

           I’d spend each one on you.

 

22.      Shattered remains of dreams I once had

           It used to be bright but now it’s just sad

23.      Love can never live on credit.

           It will run out if you let it.

 

24.      Could make up my mind

           But would it be a waste of time.

 

25.      Would it be right to say that you’re sorry

           For somebody else’s mistake

 

26.      You blow me away whenever you smile.

           I just wish you’d stay awhile.

 

27.      Traffic jam in my head.

           Thinking of words I should’ve said.

 

28.      Want a better version of you.

           Like the one I had to start with.

 

29.      Let your conscience win

           It’ll get you out of the mess you’re in.

 

30.      Deep in my veins, the pain

           I won’t refrain from the field

 

31.      What happened to the morals

           In this more or less world?

           Everybody does what pleases them.

 

32.      Torn apart by the act of war.

           Don’t know what’s worth fighting for.

          

33.      Sometimes we stop asking questions

           Because we’ve not yet found the answers

           Could it be that’s why we lose our way

 

34.      I promised myself

           I’d make a difference

           Making valid my existence

           Planning how I need to change

           My future to rearrange
