Great music starts with writing words that people want to read. Whether you’re a seasoned musician or just starting out, writing better lyrics can make your music better and help you connect more deeply with your fans. Armus Digital wants to help you on your artistic journey by both sharing your songs around the world and giving you useful tips on how to improve your work. Here are five important tips for writing better lyrics:
- “Tell a Story”
A lot of the time, great songs tell a story or send a message that hits home with listeners. Write down the feelings, events, or thoughts you want to share and then put them together in a story. A good story can make your words more interesting and remembered, whether you’re writing a love song, a personal reflection, or a social statement. - Be truly yourself
Being real is important if you want to connect with your viewers. Write about things you really care about and know a lot about. Your style and point of view are what will make your songs stand out. Instead of using overused phrases, try writing in an honest, personal way that shows who you really are. - Use vivid imagery
Draw pictures with your words to make your song lyrics more lively and moving. To make a clear mental picture, use detailed words and sense information. Instead of saying “I’m sad,” use metaphors or specific situations that make you feel that way. - You should “play with structure and form.”
Try out different ways of putting together and forming your lyrics to see what works best for your song. Most songs have a verse, chorus, and verse framework, but don’t be afraid to try something different, like a pre-chorus, a bridge, or a story that doesn’t go in order. You can also make your songs more interesting and varied by experimenting with rhyme schemes and musical patterns.
5: Edit and Improve
There’s a lot of work that goes into making great songs. Don’t be afraid to change and improve your songs until they sound great. Pay close attention to the words you use, how they flow, and how they match up with the music. Taking a break and coming back with fresh ears can sometimes help you see things more clearly and make things better.
