Lyric Analysis

The Idea

🎡 Your Songwriting Loop — Step-by-Step

🔍 PART A: Consume / Analyze

1. Pick a Song You Love

   Choose one that emotionally hits you or you’re curious about.

2. Lyric Deep Dive (Stanza-by-Stanza)

   • Interpret each stanza in your own words
   • Define unfamiliar words
   • Spot metaphors, symbols, or figures of speech
   • Guess the message or feeling behind it

3. Structure Breakdown

   • Map the song structure (e.g., Verse / Chorus / Bridge)
   • Note any interesting patterns or changes

4. Research & Reflect

   • Look up other interpretations (Genius, Reddit, etc.)
   • Compare with yours, note what you missed
   • Write a few “takeaway” insights: What made the lyrics powerful? What structure choices worked?

✍️ PART B: Create / Write

1. Pick 1–2 Learnings from the Song

   (Could be a metaphor style, rhyme pattern, structure idea, or theme)

2. Write Your Own Original Lyrics

   • Doesn’t need to be a full song — a verse or chorus is fine
   • Apply your learnings from Part A
   • Focus on meaningful lyrics more than perfection

3. Optional: Match Music (when ready)

   • Try pairing it with guitar chords or a melody
   • Use trial and error — keep it playful

🔁 Repeat

Each cycle = 1 full learning project.
