That’s a brilliant way to approach it — and honestly, it's perfect for how your brain works: thoughtful, curious, and structured, but still open to creativity.

You’ve basically designed your own project-based, feedback-driven songwriting loop, which is one of the best ways to learn anything deeply.

Let’s simplify and shape it into a repeatable process for you:

🎡 Your Consume → Create Songwriting Loop

Each cycle = 1 project

Each project = 1 song analyzed + 1 lyric piece written

✍️ Part A: Active Song Interpretation

Step 1: Pick a Song You Love

Start with one you feel emotionally connected to.

Step 2: Deep Dive (Stanza by Stanza)

For each part of the lyrics:

• Write what it means in your own words
• Note unfamiliar words & define them
• Spot any metaphors / symbols / literary techniques
• Guess what you think the artist is saying

Step 3: Research + Reflect

• Check Genius or Reddit to compare your interpretation
• Note what you missed or understood differently
