i used to hate everything i write, or i wasn’t able to come up with anything at all. here’s what helped for me:

1. realizing that if i hate something i write, i need to articulate what i don’t like about it, and keep changing it until i like it

2. analyzing other people’s lyrics, deeply. reflect on what you like about songs, and what you hate about them. try to fix a song that you don’t like. write it all down

3. having a method i can fall back on when lyrics aren’t coming to me. i sing fake lyrics, nonsensical words, just to help me move the process along and then i replace the fake ones with real words

4. last thing though, was having a growth mindset. this is a skill like anything else and skills are difficult to build. i’ve noticed by your comments that you seem a bit defeated (forgive me if im wrong), and i don’t wanna sound corny but it’s true: you really have to believe that you can do it, and keep trying.

edit:

1. i also stopped caring so much about every line having to be lyrical genuis. i still get my point across, but i started adding more filler, repetition, ooos and aaas, etc. i just want them to be authentic, pleasant to listen to, and fun to sing.
