Tips on writing songs?

[Canoris]

To be honest my friend, it would be best (based on experience) to write about something you strongly feel drawn towards (that being the majority of your thought processes). Like, I felt strongly drawn to my ex, and thus I wrote pages and pages everytime I felt a pang. I've received many good comments on them too. And even if it's not pain, let it be something that bothers you, but write it as though someone has to figure it out. If it has more than one meaning, then it is more suited for a wide variety of audiences and may speak to each person differently. And whatever you write, make sure you have a place to have it scrutinised; such SF =D
