Hey, no problem. I was simply making observations.

As a songwriter, these are questions I am often asked by others who are reviewing my tunes, because I still have a long way to go as a writer. But I do try to think about my lyrics from an outsider's POV.

The main thing is to keep writing and try to think about lyrics from the listener's POV..... you obviously know what something you write means but that doesn't mean anyone else does. The best songs tend to fill in those blanks for the listener.

Just some thoughts about lyric writing....

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
